Join a room

The default format for room aliases (which are automatically resolved, whether the room exists on Matrix or not) is:

#_discord_guildid_channelid

You can find these on discord in the browser where:

https://discordapp.com/channels/282616294245662720/282616372591329281

is formatted as https://discordapp.com/channels/``guildid``/``channelid``

Set privileges on bridge managed rooms

• The adminme script is provided to set Admin/Moderator or any other custom power level to a specific user.
• e.g. To set Alice to Admin on her example.com HS on default config. (config.yaml)
  • npm run adminme -- -r '!AbcdefghijklmnopqR:example.com' -u '@Alice:example.com' -p '100'
  • Run npm run adminme -- -h for usage.

Please note that !AbcdefghijklmnopqR:example.com is the internal room id and will always begin with !. You can find this internal id in the room settings in Riot.

Migrate to postgres from sqlite

• Stop the bridge.
• Create a new database on postgres and create a user for it with a password.
  • We will call the database discord_bridge and the the user discord.
• Install pgloader if you do not have it.
• Run pgloader ./discord.db postgresql://discord:password@localhost/discord_bridge
• Change the config so that the config contains:

database:
    connString: "postgresql://discord:password@localhost/discord_bridge"

• All done!
