Configuration of the bridge

The bridge is roughly configured at installation, e.g. allowed admin and user of the bot. Finer configuration can be done by modifying the following configuration file with SSH: /opt/yunohost/mautrix_telegram/config.yaml and then restarting the mautrix_telegram service.

Documentation

  • Official "Mautrix-Telegram" documentation: https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/python/telegram/index.html
  • Matrix room (Matrix Bridges in Yunohost): #mautrix_yunohost:matrix.fdn.fr
  • Matrix room (upstream app): #telegram:maunium.net In case you need to upload your logs somewhere, be aware that they contain your contacts' and your phone numbers. Strip them out with | sed -r 's/[0-9]{10,}/📞/g'
  • "Mautrix-Telegram" bridge is based on the telegram daemon project.
  • YunoHost documentation: If more specific documentation is needed, feel free to contribute.

Multi-user support

  • Bot users are not related to Yunohost users. Any Matrix account or Synapse server autorized in the configuration of the bridge can invite/use the bot.
  • The Telegram bot is a local Matrix-Synapse user, but accessible through federation (synapse public or private).
  • Several Telegram and Matrix users can be bridged with one bridge, each user has its own bot administration room.
  • If several bot users are in a same Telegram group, only one Matrix room will be created by the bridge.
  • See https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/synapse_ynh#multi-users-support

Multi-instance support

  • Multi-instance installation should work. Several bridge instances could be installed for one Matrix-Synapse instance so that one Matrix user can bridge several Telegram accounts.
  • Several bridge instances could be installed for each Matrix-Synapse instance to benefit from it. But one bridge can be used by users from several Matrix-Synapse instances.

Troubleshooting

  • Check the spelling of the bot name!
  • For slow servers it might be necessary to run systemctl edit mautrix_telegram.service (also for coturn.service and coturn-synapse.service) and insert
[Service]
ExecStartPre=/bin/sleep 90

such that it is ensured that synapse is running before the bridge tries to connect. (If it worked after installation but broke after a restart this probably is it.)
