ROOMS single line environment variable is tuff to use when you have too many rooms. #269

Hi there.

We are using Matrix massively and managing the rooms on the single line environment variable sucks.

I've built a little workaround to get the json from a multi line file and convert it to a single line file using underscore.

I've read in the source code that you do support loading it from a file but was not sure it was working because it was not included in the manual.

Here you can find the script, hope it helps: https://github.com/pcontezini/matrix-room-generator

It works having a file mapped, the file location is /var/app/file/matrix.room.web.json I found that mapping to that location is way better than handling a large inline json with multi escape levels.

Beware that in this case you can't provide the ROOMS_SOURCE environment!

Using mapped files is easier to handle as well for Kubernetes ;)

@Verhaeg could you open a PR with an installation tutorial for Kubernetes?

Verhaeg commented 4 years ago

Sure! Will check the README schema and see how to better provide that information!

@Verhaeg I just created a PR with an option to have an external file to configure the ROOMS_DATA in this case is possible to store in s3 or GCS
