A Matrix-WhatsApp puppeting bridge

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!
