matterbridge

Simple bridge between mattermost, IRC, XMPP, Gitter, Slack and Discord

• Relays public channel messages between multiple mattermost, IRC, XMPP, Gitter, Slack and Discord. Pick and mix.
• Supports multiple channels.
• Matterbridge can also work with private groups on your mattermost.
• Allow for bridging the same bridges, which means you can eg bridge between multiple mattermosts.
• The bridge is now a gateway which has support multiple in and out bridges. (and supports multiple gateways).

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.toml")
  -debug
        enable debug
  -version
        show version

config

matterbridge

matterbridge looks for matterbridge.toml in current directory. (use -conf to specify another file)

Look at [matterbridge.toml.sample] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.toml.sample) for an example.

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)

FAQ

Please look at [matterbridge.toml.sample] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.toml.sample) for more information first.

If you're running the webhooks version, this can be fixed by either:

• enabling "override usernames". See mattermost documentation
• setting PrefixMessagesWithNick to true in mattermost section of your matterbridge.toml.

If you're running the plus version you'll need to:

• setting PrefixMessagesWithNick to true in mattermost section of your matterbridge.toml.

Also look at the RemoteNickFormat setting.
