GitHub - mautrix/manager: An Electron app to help with logging into bridges (original) (raw)

An Electron app to help with logging into bridges.

All bridges using the new bridgev2 framework in mautrix-go are supported, as well as any bridges implementing the same provisioning API. Note that old mautrix bridges are not supported.

Auto-configuration

You can always add bridge URLs inside mautrix-manager, but to make setup easier for users, the server admin can configure a .well-known file which is used to auto-discover available bridges.

On startup, mautrix-manager will fetch /.well-known/matrix/mautrix and read a list of URLs in the fi.mau.bridges property. For example, if you had Signal and Slack bridges and bridges.example.com configured to proxy /signal/* and/slack/* to the corresponding bridges, you'd probably want a well-known file like this:

{ "fi.mau.bridges": [ "https://bridges.example.com/signal", "https://bridges.example.com/slack" ] }

The list MUST NOT include bridges that are connected to other servers, as the manager will send your Matrix access token to the bridges. If you want to add bridges on other servers, use the fi.mau.external_bridge_servers property instead. When specified, mautrix-manager will go through the list and fetch the .well-known file for each server. It will not recurse into the external servers list of an already-external server.

{ "fi.mau.external_bridge_servers": [ "anotherserver.example.org" ] }

For bridges on external servers, the manager will generate an OpenID token and exchange it for a temporary bridge-specific auth token rather than sending your Matrix access token to the bridge.
