      Looking around in the Matrix ecosystem one finds many interesting server extensions. For example, the native protocol bridging support being put to use by the many bridges available.

      Looking at matrix-docker-ansible-deploy one gets a glimpse of what extensions are already available in for a production environment.

      I've a wish for the Cloudron Matrix app to be expanded with more features. This will make the app more useful and better demonstrate Matrix's versatility.

      Extensions of direct interest to me:

      • synapse-admin
      • synapse-simple-antispam
      • email2matrix
      • mautrix-facebook
      • mautrix-telegram
      • mautrix-whatsapp
      • mx-puppet-instagram
      • matrix-appservice-irc
      • matrix-appservice-discord
      • matrix-appservice-slack
      • matrix-appservice-webhooks

      Let's discuss what if any extensions are worthy of inclusion in the package.

        @yusf I have to look into the extensions more closely but do you know if these extensions are run in-process or out of process? For maintainability, out of process would be great.

            what's the status of expanding matrix with bridges?
            is there a how-to?

              Looking through the extensions it appears all of them are defined as separate docker containers, so "separate process". I think Matrix's general strategy is to allow plugging in to the server via api, instead of modifying the server itself.

              I'd be interested in all the bridges, though there are a lot. If we're not careful, we'll have 20+ apps just for matrix. 😄

                Maybe we can have a single matrix integration app. I think my initial question still remains: are integrations run in-process or out of process? Does anyone have experience running these? If it's out of process, we can just bundle them all together as a separate app. If it's in-process, we have to see if these can be installable as plugins (like WP/Discourse/NodeBB plugins).

                    @humptydumpty not sure if this will solve our problems (I'm also not sure how Matrix works behind the scenes or the integrations), but we do have a request already in the App Wishlist.
