A Matrix-WhatsApp puppeting bridge

[girish]

@andreasdueren happy to. Can you send us a mail to support@cloudron.io with which email you want the account ? (have to ask this because the email is forum seems different...)

[andreasdueren]

@girish Putting a hold on this until I figured out how I can build for amd on an arm machine

[BrutalBirdie]

@andreasdueren
That is called multi-platform building, see https://docs.docker.com/build/building/multi-platform/
I know that Apple mX Chips can do this by default if I remember correctly.

They also have this blog entry: https://www.docker.com/blog/multi-arch-images/

Checked my Windows system and look at that

docker buildx ls --no-trunc
NAME/NODE       DRIVER/ENDPOINT   STATUS    BUILDKIT   PLATFORMS
default*        docker
 \_ default      \_ default       running   v0.18.2    linux/amd64, linux/amd64/v2, linux/amd64/v3, linux/amd64/v4, linux/arm64, linux/riscv64, linux/ppc64le, linux/s390x, linux/386, linux/arm/v7, linux/arm/v6

That are a lot of platforms

[andreasdueren]

@BrutalBirdie yes but there is that docker building app in Cloudron I’m interested din using but I haven’t figured out how that works yet and the documentation is a bit sparse

[andreasdueren]

Ok this is packaged and seems to work now but … uhhh … let's just say I'm not an expert and this has been more of a vibe based packaging and someone who knows what they are doing should probably look over it again lol

[BrutalBirdie]

Neat! Where can I check it out? @andreasdueren

[andreasdueren]

@BrutalBirdie You should be able to manually install it from docker hub: cloudron install --image andreasdueren/matrix-whatsapp-bridge:latest

[BrutalBirdie]

@andreasdueren Ok, but where is the code? I also need the Cloudron manifest and wanted to do some code reviewing.

[andreasdueren]

@BrutalBirdie I can commit it to the git but I think someone else needs to create the project there first?

[BrutalBirdie]

@andreasdueren what is your git.cloudron.io username?
I can create you a repo and invite you as the maintainer.

[andreasdueren]

@BrutalBirdie dueren

[BrutalBirdie]

@andreasdueren Invited you as owner => https://git.cloudron.io/BrutalBirdie/matrix-whatsapp-puppet-bridge/

[andreasdueren]

Btw unrelated to the package but something I noticed for testing is that federation between two matrix instances on the same server doesn't seem to work.

[jdaviescoates]

@andreasdueren said in A Matrix-WhatsApp puppeting bridge:

federation between two matrix instances on the same server doesn't seem to work.

I think I remember something about multiple instances of Pixelfed on the same server also having issues.

[robi]

@andreasdueren what if you VPN one?

[andreasdueren]

@robi I already removed one instance. But logging into one via VPN didn’t work for me, I did try that.

[andreasdueren]

@andreasdueren could probably be solved by changing the matrix config file. This is my current entry for the federation blacklist which explains why this didn't work:

federation_ip_range_blacklist:
  - '127.0.0.0/8'
  - '10.0.0.0/8'
  - '172.16.0.0/12'
  - '192.168.0.0/16'
  - '100.64.0.0/10'
  - '169.254.0.0/16'
  - '::1/128'
  - 'fe80::/64'
  - 'fc00::/7'

[robi]

@andreasdueren yeah. I meant the server, but it sounds like you found the reason!

[BetaBreak]

Would it be possible to modify this Cloudron Matrix Bridge deployment for Signal/ mautrix-signal ?

[BrutalBirdie]

@BetaBreak hold your

Firstly @andreasdueren needs the support to get everything working.
After that, feature requests.

If you want to support @andreasdueren I bet he would gladly accept some sponsored coffee to fuel his determined work
Or if you are capable, support his work with code-reviews. That would be even better.

Sorry if I speak for you @andreasdueren hope this is okay.
