Thanks @Gredin67 so a solution does exists. Would you mind helping me with the above steps?

install signald from source

I installed it following this guide. I am still not sure in wich path I should be when downloading building and configuring signald though.

create signald user and service using yunohost helpers

I was reading this to understand what helpers are about, but I don't understand if they are to be used only when packaging apps or also as configurators after installation. In the second case which helpers should I use to create signald user and service?

third and
fourth point

I think here you are talking about basic linux commands (chown chmod)? If so can you please define properly? :)

Thanks again

I started something on the testing branch https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mautrix_signal_ynh/commit/446d4208157d452cd76e61d072117dbbcd02292b

Will this make mautrix signal bridge on yunohost OK for production @Gredin67 ?

Has this issue been obsoleted by #19 ? The app should work relatively well in the current state, minus a few remaining issues.

[ ] install signald from source <- Not needed anymore?
[X] create signald user and service using yunohost helpers
[X] set signald and mautrix_signal user permissions properly
[X] set signald and mautrix folders access rights properly <- Especially with signald >= 0.15 (need to solve #22 )

MayeulC commented 2 years ago

I'm going to assume a yes for now :)

Installing unstable deps from source is still best practice

Compile-time dependencies identified: javahelper default-jdk-headless

As per the instructions:

git clone https://gitlab.com/signald/signald.git
cd signald
make installDist
make deb
# Result is in ../signald_0.23.0-1-476a9a37_all.deb

It was relatively quick for me, but not everybody has a 8-core Xeon and Gigabit Internet connection.

Here's the build script from upstream's CI, which is substantially the same thing as the Makefile does. By default, Architecture is set to "All", which shouldn't be an issue.

  before_script:
    - export VERSION="$(./version.sh)"
    - echo "Building signald version $VERSION"
    - "sed -i 's/^Architecture:.*/Architecture: amd64/g' debian/control"
  script:
    - gbp dch --ignore-branch --debian-tag="%(version)s" --git-author --new-version="${VERSION}"
    - dpkg-buildpackage -b
    - mv ../signald_* .
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - "signald_*"

Maybe we can let the user choose to compile it at install time... I wish we were on Guix and could just provide the compile script and binary substitutes servers would handle the rest x)
