A puppeting bridge between Matrix and Telegram packaged as a YunoHost service. Messages, notifications (and sometimes media) are bridged between a Telegram user and a Matrix user. Currently the Matrix user can NOT invite other Matrix user in a bridged Telegram room, so only someone with a Telegram account can participate to Telegram group conversations. The "Mautrix-Telegram" bridge is a Synapse App Service and relies on postgresql. Therefore, Synapse for YunoHost should be installed beforehand.

List of known public services

  • Ask on one of the following rooms: #mautrix_yunohost:matrix.fdn.fr or #telegram:maunium.net

Bridging usage

** Note that several Telegram and Matrix users can be bridged, each Telegram account has its own bot administration room. If they are in a same Telegram group, only one matrix room will be created. **

Bridge a Telegram user and a Matrix user

  • First your Matrix user or Synapse Server has to be authorized in the Configuration of the bridge (see below)
  • Then, invite the bot (default @telegrambot:yoursynapse.domain) in this new Mautrix-Telegram bot administration room.
  • Send !tg help to the bot in the created room to know how to control the bot. See also upstream wiki Authentication page

Logging into Telegram account

  • Type login or login-qr (untested) in main management room (!tg in any bridge room)
  • follow setup instructions from bot
  • By defaults, only conversations with very recent messages and groups will be suggested to be bridged
  • Accept invitations to the bridged chat rooms

Registering the Bridge as a primary device (untested)

  • Type !tg register <phone>, where <phone> is your phone number in the internation format with no space, e.g. !tg register +33612345678
  • Answer in the bot room with the verification code that you reveived in SMS.
  • Set a profile name with !tg set-profile-name <name>

Double puppeting

  • Log in with login-matrix <access token>
  • After logging in, the default Matrix puppet of your Telegram account should leave rooms and your account should join all rooms the puppet was in automatically.
