We are currently setting up a test server for Matrix. We use Synapse. If everything goes well, we will set up a production Matrix server.

We are currently running Matrix on a Proxmox LXE container on citric-acid. Ask Siracha for the credentials to access Proxmox and the VM.

We are using NixOS, so the config to setup both Synapse and PostgreSQL is hosted at https://git.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/k95ma/matrix-nixos/.

The reverse proxy, Caddy is configured on citric-acid.

We are currently running mautrix-discord. Bridge to IRC via heisenbridge may be added in the future.

Create the Matrix channel to bridge to
Invite @beefbot:csclub.uwaterloo.ca and @discordbot:csclub.uwaterloo.ca to the channel
Login to User beefbot (ask syscom for password) on our matrix instance (when we eventually disable password login, you will need to edit the nix config to re-enable it)
Open the DM with @discordbot:csclub.uwaterloo.ca on beefbot's account, _inside_ the matrix channel, send, !discord bridge <channel ID> (the channel ID on Discord, the Discord bot must be able to see that channel)
Create a Discord Webhook URL for that channel on Discord's side, and then DM the discord bot with !discord set-relay !26DmcJd3cQ...:csclub.uwaterloo.ca --url https://discord.com/... with the first argument replaced by the actual room identifier and the second parameter the webhook URL.
