      In case you want to connect WhatsApp to Matrix.

        What does "puppeting" mean in this context? Like a 2 way sync?

          @girish see https://matrix.org/docs/guides/types-of-bridging

          TLDR: It mimics the user as if it were a native Matrix (or Telegram/Whatsapp/etc) account including all metadata so there is like zero difference for the client (end user).

            @robi I'm new to Matrix but was curious if you have any guidance on how to set this up when using a Cloudron deployed Synapse server. I got the docker version running and generated the config files, but I don't know what path to put in the homeserver.yaml since it runs in it's own environment.

              @mazarian I'm not the right person to ask, as I haven't installed it.

              If you're running it in a separate docker container, you'll need to point it at the Synapse server address (API?).
              Not a file path.

                @robi I was able to get it running reliably by mounting the path for the bridge and making some file permission changes for registration.yaml. Was super straightforward and works great!

                  @mazarian That's great, if you wouldn't mind updating this thread with some steps so other folks can follow in your footsteps, that'd be grand!

                    Hey folks, I'm curious whether is possible to install a matrix bridge in a cloudron deployed server.

                    Another way to ask the same is if someone around here have already done it 😉

                        I guess the answer is no one?
