Documentation?

[uhlhosting]

It seems that to install the app via Web app was simple, now if someone explain me where to find the rest of steps to get the integration working would be great.

It seems whoever documented this README.md here does not care about the install procedure, more about the development procedure. Is this in Beta? Should not be used? What am I missing. What is the benefit of installing this and not the Matterbridge itself via cli? Where do configs go in Matterbridge from the web app?

All the configuration happens in the Nextcloud Talk settings. If you'd like to add that to the README, feel free to make a PR.

Well, thats the issue that I see nothing there to configure related to mattermost or matterbridge.

I searched the config too. Some bridges (e.g WhatsApp) are not configurable in the Talk frontend, so I wanted to add it manually. But I haven't found the config file. Is it possible to add bridges without frontend?

[gary-kim]

Feel free to use Matterbridge directly to have full control over the config file. The purpose of the integration with Talk is to let people who are unfamiliar with config files and managing services easily set up bridging between their Nextcloud Talk instances and other chat systems.

[uhlhosting]

I agree with you, yet you seem to completely ignore the fact that there are no such options no where inside talk settings nor the plugin settings.

Where do I find the config files of Matterbridge to configure them manually. I haven't found them. I looked in every ".toml" file on my NC and I looked also in the spreed and talk_matterbridge folder. But I haven't found any config except for temporary files in /tmp.

I know the web config, but I want to configure more options.

To use Matterbridge directly, refer to the Matterbridge documentation: https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge#running and https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/How-to-create-your-config

Nextcloud Talk support was added to Matterbridge recently so that can be used: https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/Section-Nextcloud-Talk-%28basic%29

All in all, let's keep this issue open. If someone wants to make a PR that adds more detailed documentation to the README to avoid further misunderstanding, that would be very much appreciated.

I read links but also still do not understand where to set up this toml files. Could someone tell me where to place it in Nextcloud?

[sirdrakeistda]

@Mannshoch finding the .toml files wont help you really. They are in the /tmp folder and only temporally saved. I haven't found a way to add bridges without the frontend and without editing php. You could try to override .toml files in /tmp, but I think there is at the moment no good solution.

[Mannshoch]

I searched again now I finaly found a blog that. Said how to configure Matterbridge. I newer had the Idea to look into Talk in the right Panel. Sorry for this misunderstanding.

[Mannshoch]

Hm.. Seems I missunderstood more. I assumed I could set-up my accounts in my profile and automatic get all teams/channels I have eg. on Mattermost with a representative into talk and may get access to the contact list. Not sure if I could use Matterbridge that way.

[sirdrakeistda]

You wont get the contact list. Matterbridge only bridges messages between messenger. Getting messages from teams should work.
