# matterbridge Simple bridge between mattermost and IRC. * Relays public channel messages between mattermost and IRC. * Supports multiple mattermost and irc channels. * Matterbridge -plus also works with private groups on your mattermost. This project has now [matterbridge-plus](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge-plus/) merged in. Breaking changes for matterbridge can be found in [migration](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/migration.md) ## Requirements: * [Mattermost] (https://github.com/mattermost/platform/) 3.x (stable, not a dev build) ### 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. ## binaries Binaries can be found [here] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/releases/tag/v0.5.0) ## 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 -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.
