+# matterbridge
+
+Simple bridge between mattermost, IRC, XMPP, Gitter and Slack
+
+* Relays public channel messages between mattermost, IRC, XMPP, Gitter and Slack. Pick and mix.
+* Supports multiple channels.
+* Matterbridge can also work with private groups on your mattermost.
+
+Look at [matterbridge.conf.sample] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.conf.sample) for documentation and an example.
+
+## Changelog
+Since v0.6.1 support for XMPP, Gitter and Slack is added. More details in [changelog.md] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/changelog.md)
+
+## Requirements:
+Accounts to one of the supported bridges
+* [Mattermost] (https://github.com/mattermost/platform/)
+* [IRC] (http://www.mirc.com/servers.html)
+* [XMPP] (https://jabber.org)
+* [Gitter] (https://gitter.im)
+* [Slack] (https://www.slack.com)
+
+## binaries
+Binaries can be found [here] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/releases/)
+* For use with mattermost 3.3.0+ [v0.6.1](https://github.com/42wim/matterircd/releases/tag/v0.6.1)
+* For use with mattermost 3.0.0-3.2.0 [v0.5.0](https://github.com/42wim/matterircd/releases/tag/v0.5.0)
+
+
+## Docker
+Create your matterbridge.conf file locally eg in ```/tmp/matterbridge.conf```
+
+```
+docker run -ti -v /tmp/matterbridge.conf:/matterbridge.conf 42wim/matterbridge:0.6.1
+```
+
+## Compatibility
+### Mattermost 
+* Matterbridge v0.6.1 works with mattermost 3.3.0 and higher [3.3.0 release](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/releases/tag/v3.3.0)
+* Matterbridge v0.5.0 works with mattermost 3.0.0 - 3.2.0 [3.2.0 release](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/releases/tag/v3.2.0)
+
+
+#### Webhooks version
+* Configured incoming/outgoing [webhooks](https://www.mattermost.org/webhooks/) on your mattermost instance.
+
+#### Plus (API) version
+* A dedicated user(bot) on your mattermost instance.
+
+
+## building
+Go 1.6+ is required. Make sure you have [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) properly installed, including setting up your [GOPATH] (https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH)
+
+```
+cd $GOPATH
+go get github.com/42wim/matterbridge
+```
+
+You should now have matterbridge binary in the bin directory:
+
+```
+$ ls bin/
+matterbridge
+```
+
+## running
+1) Copy the matterbridge.conf.sample to matterbridge.conf in the same directory as the matterbridge binary.  
+2) Edit matterbridge.conf with the settings for your environment. See below for more config information.  
+3) Now you can run matterbridge. 
+
+```
+Usage of ./matterbridge:
+  -conf string
+        config file (default "matterbridge.conf")
+  -debug
+        enable debug
+  -plus
+        running using API instead of webhooks (deprecated, set Plus flag in [general] config)
+  -version
+        show version
+```
+
+## config
+### matterbridge
+matterbridge looks for matterbridge.conf in current directory. (use -conf to specify another file)
+
+Look at [matterbridge.conf.sample] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.conf.sample) for an example.
+
+### mattermost
+#### webhooks version
+You'll have to configure the incoming and outgoing webhooks. 
+
+* incoming webhooks
+Go to "account settings" - integrations - "incoming webhooks".  
+Choose a channel at "Add a new incoming webhook", this will create a webhook URL right below.  
+This URL should be set in the matterbridge.conf in the [mattermost] section (see above)  
+
+* outgoing webhooks
+Go to "account settings" - integrations - "outgoing webhooks".  
+Choose a channel (the same as the one from incoming webhooks) and fill in the address and port of the server matterbridge will run on.  
+
+e.g. http://192.168.1.1:9999 (192.168.1.1:9999 is the BindAddress specified in [mattermost] section of matterbridge.conf)
+
+#### plus version
+You'll have to create a new dedicated user on your mattermost instance.
+Specify the login and password in [mattermost] section of matterbridge.conf
+
+## FAQ
+Please look at [matterbridge.conf.sample] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.conf.sample) for more information first. 
+### Mattermost doesn't show the IRC nicks
+If you're running the webhooks version, this can be fixed by either:
+* enabling "override usernames". See [mattermost documentation](http://docs.mattermost.com/developer/webhooks-incoming.html#enabling-incoming-webhooks)
+* setting ```PrefixMessagesWithNick``` to ```true``` in ```mattermost``` section of your matterbridge.conf.
+
+If you're running the plus version you'll need to:
+* setting ```PrefixMessagesWithNick``` to ```true``` in ```mattermost``` section of your matterbridge.conf.
+
+Also look at the ```RemoteNickFormat``` setting.
