To install or upgrade just download the latest [binary](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/releases/latest). On \*nix platforms you may need to make the binary executable - you can do this by running `chmod a+x` on the binary (example: `chmod a+x matterbridge-1.24.1-linux-64bit`). After downloading (and making the binary executable, if necessary), follow the instructions on the [howto](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/How-to-create-your-config) for a step by step walkthrough for creating your configuration. ### Packages - [Overview](https://repology.org/metapackage/matterbridge/versions) - [snap](https://snapcraft.io/matterbridge) - [scoop](https://github.com/42wim/scoop-bucket) ## Building Most people just want to use binaries, you can find those [here](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/releases/latest) If you really want to build from source, follow these instructions: Go 1.18+ is required. Make sure you have [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) properly installed. Building the binary with **all** the bridges enabled needs about 3GB RAM to compile. You can reduce this memory requirement to 0,5GB RAM by adding the `nomsteams` tag if you don't need/use the Microsoft Teams bridge. Matterbridge can be build without gcc/c-compiler: If you're running on windows first run `set CGO_ENABLED=0` on other platforms you prepend `CGO_ENABLED=0` to the `go build` command. (eg `CGO_ENABLED=0 go install github.com/42wim/matterbridge`) To install the latest stable run: ```bash go install github.com/42wim/matterbridge ``` To install the latest dev run: ```bash go install github.com/42wim/matterbridge@master ``` To install the latest stable run without msteams or zulip bridge: ```bash go install -tags nomsteams,nozulip github.com/42wim/matterbridge ``` You should now have matterbridge binary in the ~/go/bin directory: ```bash $ ls ~/go/bin/ matterbridge ``` ## Building with whatsapp (beta) multidevice support Because the library we use for Whatsapp multidevice support includes a GPL3 library we can not provide you binaries. (as this would require the Matterbridge to change it license to GPL) Matterbridge can be build without gcc/c-compiler: If you're running on windows first run `set CGO_ENABLED=0` on other platforms you prepend `CGO_ENABLED=0` to the `go build` command. (eg `CGO_ENABLED=0 go install github.com/42wim/matterbridge`) So this means you have to build it yourself using the instructions below: ```bash go install -tags whatsappmulti github.com/42wim/matterbridge@master ``` If you're low on memory and don't need msteams: ```bash go install -tags nomsteams,whatsappmulti github.com/42wim/matterbridge@master ``` You should now have matterbridge binary in the ~/go/bin directory: ```bash $ ls ~/go/bin/ matterbridge ``` ## Configuration ### Basic configuration See [howto](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/How-to-create-your-config) for a step by step walkthrough for creating your configuration. ### Settings All possible [settings](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/Settings) for each bridge. ### Advanced configuration - [matterbridge.toml.sample](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.toml.sample) for documentation and an example. ### Examples #### Bridge mattermost (off-topic) - irc (#testing) ```toml [irc] [irc.libera] Server="irc.libera.chat:6667" Nick="yourbotname" [mattermost] [mattermost.work] Server="yourmattermostserver.tld" Team="yourteam" Login="yourlogin" Password="yourpass" PrefixMessagesWithNick=true RemoteNickFormat="[{PROTOCOL}] <{NICK}> " [[gateway]] name="mygateway" enable=true [[gateway.inout]] account="irc.libera" channel="#testing" [[gateway.inout]] account="mattermost.work" channel="off-topic" ``` #### Bridge slack (#general) - discord (general) ```toml [slack] [slack.test] Token="yourslacktoken" PrefixMessagesWithNick=true [discord] [discord.test] Token="yourdiscordtoken" Server="yourdiscordservername" [general] RemoteNickFormat="[{PROTOCOL}/{BRIDGE}] <{NICK}> " [[gateway]] name = "mygateway" enable=true [[gateway.inout]] account = "discord.test" channel="general" [[gateway.inout]] account ="slack.test" channel = "general" ``` ## Running See [howto](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/How-to-create-your-config) for a step by step walkthrough for creating your configuration. ```bash Usage of ./matterbridge: -conf string config file (default "matterbridge.toml") -debug enable debug -gops enable gops agent -version show version ``` ### Docker Please take a look at the [Docker Wiki page](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/Deploy:-Docker) for more information. ### Systemd Please take a look at the [Service Files page](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/Service-files) for more information. ## Changelog See [changelog.md](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/changelog.md) ## FAQ See [FAQ](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/FAQ) ## Related projects - [jwflory/ansible-role-matterbridge](https://galaxy.ansible.com/jwflory/matterbridge) (Ansible role to simplify deploying Matterbridge) - [matterbridge autoconfig](https://github.com/patcon/matterbridge-autoconfig) - [matterbridge config viewer](https://github.com/patcon/matterbridge-heroku-viewer) - [matterbridge-heroku](https://github.com/cadecairos/matterbridge-heroku) - [mattereddit](https://github.com/bonehurtingjuice/mattereddit) - [matterlink](https://github.com/elytra/MatterLink) - [mattermost-plugin](https://github.com/matterbridge/mattermost-plugin) - Run matterbridge as a plugin in mattermost - [pyCord](https://github.com/NikkyAI/pyCord) (crossplatform chatbot) - [fbridge](https://github.com/VictorNine/fbridge) (Facebook messenger support) - [isla](https://github.com/alphachung/isla) (Bot for Discord-Telegram groups used alongside matterbridge) - [matterbabble](https://github.com/DeclanHoare/matterbabble) (Connect Discourse threads to Matterbridge) - [nextcloud talk](https://github.com/nextcloud/talk_matterbridge) (Integrates matterbridge in Nextcloud Talk) - [mattercraft](https://github.com/raws/mattercraft) (Minecraft bridge) - [vs-matterbridge](https://github.com/NikkyAI/vs-matterbridge) (Vintage Story bridge) - [ServUO-matterbridge](https://github.com/kuoushi/ServUO-Matterbridge) (A matterbridge connector for ServUO servers) - [ts-matterbridge](https://github.com/Archeb/ts-matterbridge) (Integrate teamspeak chat with matterbridge) ## Articles / Tutorials - [matterbridge on kubernetes](https://medium.freecodecamp.org/using-kubernetes-to-deploy-a-chat-gateway-or-when-technology-works-like-its-supposed-to-a169a8cd69a3) - - - - - - - - - - - Youtube: [whatsapp - telegram bridging](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-VXISoKtNc) ## Thanks
