We need the Matrix Authentication Service (MAS)

[jdaviescoates]

In order to take advantage of the latest Matrix features (e.g. QR code login) and use the new better Element X app etc, we need the Matrix Authentication Service (MAS) adding to the Cloudron Synapse package

https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service
https://element-hq.github.io/matrix-authentication-service/
https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service/releases/tag/v0.12.0
https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service/pkgs/container/matrix-authentication-service
https://github.com/element-hq/synapse/issues/18027#issuecomment-2571748011

But I guess the team will understandably probably want to wait until there are a least a few more versions. Oh well.

I think the update at https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/12888/has-anyone-got-the-element-x-app-working-with-cloudron-matrix/8 applies here. Do you happen to know any official announcement/note from the matrix team? Not sure why this is so obscure.

The best I can offer is a friend who works for Element who told me in a matrix chat:

"They should implement MAS in cloudron. This is the way forward."

@jdaviescoates @nebulon also attended the matrix talk in FOSDEM and they mentioned MAS is the way forward. It's in our internal task list, let's see when @vladimir.d can get to it.

Great! Looking forward to it!
