Running

1. Copy the matterbridge.toml.sample to matterbridge.toml
2. Edit matterbridge.toml with the settings for your environment.
3. Now you can run matterbridge. (./matterbridge)

(Matterbridge will only look for the config file in your current directory, if it isn’t there specify -conf “/path/toyour/matterbridge.toml”)

Usage of ./matterbridge:
  -conf string
        config file (default "matterbridge.toml")
  -debug
        enable debug
  -gops
        enable gops agent
  -version
        show version

Docker

Create your matterbridge.toml file locally eg in /tmp/matterbridge.toml

docker run -ti -v /tmp/matterbridge.toml:/matterbridge.toml 42wim/matterbridge

Changelog

See changelog.md

FAQ

Please look at matterbridge.toml.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 * setting PrefixMessagesWithNick to true in mattermost section of your matterbridge.toml.

If you’re running the API version you’ll need to: * setting PrefixMessagesWithNick to true in mattermost section of your matterbridge.toml.

Also look at the RemoteNickFormat setting.
