waasabi-matrix

Your friendly Rusty crab, guiding you through the conference

waasabi-matrix is a Matrix chat bot that can handle logging, moderation and some admin operations.

Configuration

The bot needs to be configured before use. The configuration file is in the TOML format. The path to the bot configuration should be specified as a commandline parameter when starting the bot.

An example configuration is provided in bot-config.example.toml

The configuration consists of the following fields:

Matrix server

The bot will connect to the Matrix server specified in the configuration and will use it to access the Matrix network.

Currently the bot does not handle well being rate limited by the Matrix server so it is recommended to disable rate limiting for the bot user (and thus, we recommend using a Matrix server that allows for this). At the moment this can only be done manually.

`[matrix]`
`homeserver`	The URL of the Matrix server to connect to
`user`	Full matrix username of the bot user
`password`	Password of the bot user
`admins`	A list (array) of matrix usernames who can control the bot using bot commands

Backend

The bot collects all room information and incoming messages and forwards them to the backend integration. Currently the only supported integration is Waasabi's chat integration via Strapi.

`[backend]`
`host`	URL of the exposed API root (for Waasabi servers this is by default under `<origin>/waasabi` )
`user`	Username with API access privileges (Event Manager Integrations role)
`password`	Password of the authenticated user
`integrations_endpoint`	Optional The endpoint to use for posting Matrix information. Default: `event-manager/integrations`

Bot API

This bot exposes a http API that can be used to send commands to the bot through API requests.

`[api]`
`listen`	The address or ip/port combination to listen (expose the API) on
`secret`	The secret that is required to be present in all API requests

API

Invite a user to a room

POST /invite
{
    api_key: <secret string>,
    user_id: <@user:homeserver>,
    room_id: <#channel:homeserver>,
}

Create a new room on the server

POST /room
{
    api_key: <secret string>,
    alias: <room name>,
    name: <room display name>,
    topic: <optional topic for the room>,
}

Commands

These are commands that the bot understands.

Command	Description
`!ping`	Admin-only. Ping-pong with the bot.
`!invite <user id>`	Admin-only. Invite a user to the current room.
`!create <room alias> <room name>`	Admin-only. Create a new room.
`!op`	Admin-only. Give room admin access to all admin users.
`!op <user id>`	Admin-only. Add a new user to the list of admins.
`?ops`	Admin-only. List all current admin users.

Build

Build the code, then use the binary in target/release/waasabi-matrix:

cargo build --release

Or build install it right away:

cargo install --path .

Building this app requires libopenssl. On Ubuntu, use:

apt-get install libssl-dev

Otherwise you might be receiving an error message during build:

Package openssl was not found in the pkg-config search path.
