Simple bridge between mattermost and IRC. Uses the in/outgoing webhooks.
Relays public channel messages between mattermost and IRC.
Requires mattermost 1.2.0+
There is also [matterbridge-plus] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge-plus) which uses the mattermost API and needs a dedicated user (bot). But requires no incoming/outgoing webhook setup.
Binaries can be found [here] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/releases/tag/v0.2)
Make sure you have Go properly installed, including setting up your [GOPATH] (https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH)
cd $GOPATH
go get github.com/42wim/matterbridge
You should now have matterbridge binary in the bin directory:
$ ls bin/
matterbridge
- Copy the matterbridge.conf.sample to matterbridge.conf in the same directory as the matterbridge binary.
- Edit matterbridge.conf with the settings for your environment. See below for more config information.
- Now you can run matterbridge.
Usage of matterbridge:
-conf="matterbridge.conf": config file
Matterbridge will:
- start a webserver listening on the port specified in the configuration.
- connect to specified irc server and channel.
- send messages from mattermost to irc and vice versa, messages in mattermost will appear with irc-nick
matterbridge looks for matterbridge.conf in current directory. (use -conf to specify another file)
Look at matterbridge.conf.sample for an example
[IRC]
server="irc.freenode.net"
port=6667
UseTLS=false
SkipTLSVerify=true
nick="matterbot"
channel="#matterbridge"

#the token you get from the outgoing webhook in mattermost. If empty no token check will be done.
#if you use multiple IRC channel (see below, this must be empty!)
token=yourtokenfrommattermost
#disable certificate checking (selfsigned certificates)
#SkipTLSVerify=true
#multiple channel config
#token you can find in your outgoing webhook
[Token "outgoingwebhooktoken1"]

You'll have to configure the incoming en outgoing webhooks.
-
incoming webhooks Go to "account settings" - integrations - "incoming webhooks".
Choose a channel at "Add a new incoming webhook", this will create a webhook URL right below.
This URL should be set in the matterbridge.conf in the [mattermost] section (see above) -
outgoing webhooks Go to "account settings" - integrations - "outgoing webhooks".
Choose a channel (the same as the one from incoming webhooks) and fill in the address and port of the server matterbridge will run on.
e.g. http://192.168.1.1:9999 (9999 is the port specified in [mattermost] section of matterbridge.conf)
