Running multiple instances of a bridge #2658

Open ralebaskinson opened 1 year ago

ralebaskinson commented 1 year ago

As far as I can understand, matrix bridges only allow one account/login per matrix user. I'm not sure what the right matrix terminology is, but is it possible to be simultaneously logged in to 2 different accounts/numbers, e.g. in mautrix-whatsapp? I presume that would require running 2 instances of the bridge, is that supported with this setup?

This would be amazing yes! But it's not supported right now :(

+1 on this issue, this feature is really needed. If you use multiple whatsapp accounts, it forces you to have multiple matrix users, which really damages the magic of this. An extra variable for each bridge, such as "number of instances", would be really helpful.

All it needs to do is deploy additional containers per instance count for the bridge, and iterate the naming for each bridge's respective bot.
