create a matrix room for chat/support

[FarisZR]

currently when clicking on questions and support it redirects you to discord.

i created a temp account, but it required my phone number, for just creating an empty account. i suggest creating a matrix room like codeberg with a bridge to discord.

so we users don't have to deal with discord bad privacy.

you can also use github discussions

my question was:

how to add an ssh key from a secret ? it doesn't work like drone:

pipeline

pipeline:
  push:
    image: alpine:latest
    commands:
      - apk add --no-cache openssh
      - eval `ssh-agent -s`
      - echo "${ssh_priv12_key}" | ssh-add -
      - mkdir -p ~/.ssh
      - echo -e "Host *\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n\n" > ~/.ssh/config
      - git config --global user.name "org-Bot"
      - git config --global user.email "$${BOT_EMAIL}"
      - git remote set-url origin ssh://git@codeberg.org/xxx/xxx
      - git checkout pages
      - git add dev
      - git commit -m "upload latest dev build"
    secrets: [bot_email, ssh_priv12_key]

it stops at the 3rd command Error loading key "(stdin)": invalid format

We already have a matrix space: https://matrix.to/#/#WoodpeckerCI:obermui.de

For your problem you could try

echo "$${ssh_priv12_key}" | ssh-add 

or

echo "$${ssh_priv12_key}" | ssh-add

${...} is a syntax which is currently replaced by our string subsitution engine (super bad dx if you ask me) https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/usage/environment#string-substitution

We used something similar for the woodpecker docs: https://github.com/woodpecker-ci/woodpecker/blob/master/.woodpecker/docs.yml

the solution didn't work for me. but i think we could continue in matrix.

i would like to see mentioned more clearly that there is a matrix room in the github issues. like a button for matrix and another for discord for example.
