              So since matrix.org’s development infrastructure got megaowned today i figured I’d put this here:

              After Matrix has restored its major services, they noticed that the GPG keys used for signing packages where compromised.

              The key IDs are:

              AD0592FE47F0DF61 (synapse)
              E019645248E8F4A1 (Riot/Web)

              Please make sure to no longer use those keys.

                @msbt Errors installing Matrix app anew:

                sed: can't read homeserver.yaml: No such file or directory
                

                When looking in /app/data only nginx and synapse folders show, and they are both empty.

                Please look into it.

                  hey @yusf
                  I've pushed another update for the latest riot and matrix apps. I did not set up email and ignored the turn settings too, since quite a few things changed since they're heading towards v1.0 and I don't have too much time on my hands. But I tested it and login should work for Ldap users. Thanks for the info, didn't realize it wasn't working on fresh setups.

                      Works good so far. Email is not important in this case but TURN is, so I’m eagerly awaiting that feature.

                      Thank you for fixing it.

                      I just reread an earlier post of yours. From this version of synapse an onwards, will there be forward compatibility? It’s my bad I didn’t read it properly and of course my fault for installing unfinished packages but since I’m pretty screwed if I can’t upgrade this package later I want to inquire if that’s the case and possibly beg you to keep future versions compatible with this version. I’d help with testing if that πŸ˜“

                        Idea: Put index.html in /app/data so that it's editable.

                          Building app I get deprecation warnings:

                          DEPRECATION: Python 2.7 will reach the end of its life on January 1st, 2020. Please upgrade your Python as Python 2.7 won't be maintained after that date. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.7.

                          Is that on app or box level?

                            This message is on app-level but valid nonetheless. In a week (10th of June) there should be the release of v1.0 and I'll do a rebuild of the container with python 3 and hopefully audio/video support. I'll keep you posted.

                                fyi, v1.0.0 got released earlier and I'm working on it. Everything is looking good so far, the only things that aren't working at the moment are videocalls (audio is working) and the integration server, not sure why. Will keep you posted and eventually push the "final" version so people can test it.

                                    alright alright alright, v1.0.0 is (mostly) working, as far as I can see only the videochat feature is missing, I'll further investigate when I have the time. Other than that it seems to be looking good, changed to python3, registration including email & activation is working, url preview (which wasn't always before), introduced a new healthcheck page.

                                    Grab it from here and let me know if you encounter any other issues. Not sure if upgrading from older versions work flawlessly, since quite a few config items got introduced and some are required. So if it doesn't work from scratch, install a fresh one on another domain and compare with your current one before upgrading.

                                    Possible things that might need changing if you want the features (depending on the the version you first installed it) in homeserver.yaml:

                                    enable_notifs: true
                                    comment #template_dir
                                    require_transport_security: false
                                    comment #riot_base_url
                                    add public_base_url: https://yourmatrixserver.com
                                    change case url_preview_enabled: true
                                    comment '172.18.0.0/12' in url_preview_ip_range_blacklist
                                    

                                    The Riot app also got pushed to 1.2.2, available here as usual.

                                      ok this is embarrassing, videochat was working all along, only my strict windows settings prohibited me from using it πŸ˜„

                                        Nice work! From a glance I can't see anything breaking when upgrading the Matrix package.

                                        Is federation working for you though? πŸ‘‡

                                          Thanks for working on this! I've tested it out and it works great so far, both Matrix and Riot.

                                          One issue I see, and this may just be me not being very familiar with Matrix, is that when I go to search the room directory for Matrix.org, I get Riot failed to get the public room list. Internal server error. I don't know if I am supposed to be able to search and connect to Matrix.org rooms, but I thought I should be able to. Is this a bug or just me?

                                          Thanks again!

                                            Ah nice catch, I haven't tested federation because it used to work. This could be for a number of reasons, either new regular homeserver settings, nginx config or cors related issues. I'll try to narrow it down, thanks for reporting!

                                                @msbt I noticed this app does not actually have Riot front end? Also is the identity server implemented?

                                                  @murgero yes, the riot frontend is here: https://git.cloudron.io/msbt/riot-app - the devs suggested not to run both on the same machine, splitting the apps was the way to go. The identity server is also not implemented (yet), so the registration uses vector.im at the moment.

                                                  Thanks for your input, I'll review the changes and try to figure out the point where the federation stopped working.

                                                      Any news on federation?

                                                      Edit: I know the devs for Cloudron recommended that these apps be separated, however I believe they would be better together (maybe a 3rd app that includes both?) because:

                                                      • Users can get confused on the domains (logging into riot.example.com, but user is matrix.example.com)
                                                      • Having them in the same place can allow for better troubleshooting, and in some cases, is just more convenient.
                                                      • Easier to update both at the same time, then to have to rebuild the app twice.

                                                        This is no recommendation from cloudron, but from the riot-devs themselves: https://github.com/vector-im/riot-web#important-security-note

                                                        I didn't have time to look further into the federation issue, maybe I'll find some time this weekend, sorry for the delay.

                                                            Recently learned that federation is needed for integrations to work so it's important for any integrations as well.

                                                              Weirdly enough, integrations are working, but federation is not... Is it possible, that the requests are being denied by cloudron and not the app @nebulon @girish? I remember we had the embedding feature which got removed and will eventually be replaced with CSP. I've tried several things, but I don't really know how to fix it... I'll jump on the matrix network and ask there if they have a clue.

Please grab the latest version from here and let me know if it also works for you. You might need to adjust the homeserver.yaml again, probably best if you install a fresh one and compare the config. There might be some finetuning required for preview and such, but since I'm on vacation, that's a topic for another day πŸ˜‰

Maybe you guys could pm me on the chat I can try by myself. Either way, 1.1.0 got released and is already updated, maybe you could try with the new image again.

I think the main issue was the small amount of RAM Matrix and/or Riot was given by default. I bumped them both up to 2 gigs or so and that seemed to be the main fix.

Need to manually edit Synapse and TURN config files to be able to report back on things like group video chat but 1on1 voice and video calls works regardless for me (at least between users on the same server)

                                                                                                    Many thanks for your effort. You’re effectively enabling Matrix adoption for several communities.

                                                                                                      yes @technotame, bigger channels require a lot of ram, like the #matrix:matrix.org one with several 1000s of users, <2GB probably won't do it, maybe if you're very patient, but the more the better πŸ˜„

                                                                                                          The server has been online and stable for months btw. I'm looking to expand it with app services, webhooks for instance. However, I'm unsure on how to proceed since the Cloudron app is only configured for specific ports only and so on, limiting installing app services in Cloudron user space. Would you be interested in adding a bunch of useful default but opt-in app services?

                                                                                                          1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                                                                                            I would be happy to add more features/packages, in this case it really needs to be added in the app itself and can't be run as a regular integration. I've been thinking about including other addons as well (this seems to be an extensive setup where we could pick things that are nice2have). Let me know what might be interesting for you and I see what I can do about it.

                                                                                                            Although it might be a good idea if either @girish or @nebulon also take a look at those and maybe give some pointers, I don't want to spend time on something which they can either do way more quickly and/or don't want in an app at all πŸ˜‰

                                                                                                            1 Reply Last reply Reply Quote 0

                                                                                                              I've been looking at matrix-appservice-webhooks a bit and the way it works makes it a good candidate for inclusion.

                                                                                                              It works like so:

                                                                                                              1. a webhooks bot is created
                                                                                                              2. you invite this bot to a room
                                                                                                              3. you create a new webhook with the !webbook command
                                                                                                              4. the bot sends you a pm with the credentials for this specific new webhook
                                                                                                              5. profit

                                                                                                              This means that this integrations grants an unlimited amount of webhooks, so it's not a one-time thing.

                                                                                                              Would you be willing to look into it?

I know that the Matrix folks used to recommended against that setup and perhaps they still do.

                                                                                                                        Is that threat still as relevant with the Cloudron/Docker setup? After all, Cloudron apps are supposed to work out of the box.

I was having a talk with @girish a while ago and they're planning to add matrix to the app store at some point. Maybe they can have another look at it since they actually know what they're doing πŸ˜‰

                                                                                                                          And yes, it requires a lot of RAM if you want to join bigger channels, but if you keep to yourself, you should be good to go with less.

                                                                                                                          @yusf good question, if noone else does it, I'll jump on the matrix network and ask if that's still a thing to worry about

                                                                                                                            What I mean is a way of forwarding certain ports from domain.tld to matrixserver.domain.tld so that user handles follows convention by ommitting the technical placement of the server itself. (Hosting the server on domain.tld sucks for obvious reasons πŸ˜„)

                                                                                                                            This solution would also enable more federated software with similar needs to come aboard the Cloudron ecosystem.
