Hi,

This is similar to this issue https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc/issues/154

I'm running Heisenbridge in a container, and the address of the homeserver I pass to it is an internal URL http://synapse:8008/. When I upload media to IRC, the resulting URL starts with http://synapse:8008/.

I'd like to have a way to specify an arbitrary domain instead, as is done with the upstream IRC appservice (media_url option).

Thanks!

Hello

am trying to get this to work with the Conduit.rs homeserver.

On the conduit side everything seems to be working and I added the content of the heisenbridge.yaml as described in the Conduit docu: https://gitlab.com/famedly/conduit/-/blob/master/APPSERVICES.md

But when I start heisenbridge (connecting to http://localhost:6167 which is where Conduit runs) I just get the message about the version and the domain of my homeserver, but I can't start a DM with the @heisenbridge:myhomeserverdomain user.

It just says that the user is invited to the room...

As I am pretty new to this Matrix thing, I might be overlooking something, but it seems this might be a bug either in Heisenbridge or Conduit?

I find the description to be very confusing. I currently use an IRC client connected to multiple servers through three separate ZNC instances. One network I am connected as X on ZNC X, another network I am connected as Y on ZNC Y, but both ZNC instances could also be connected to the same network, in some cases even joining the same channels. I would like to attach all these to the same Matrix user, so that I can access them all from within Element. The experience I am looking for would be to have a group per connection, so one group called X-server1, one group called X-server2, one group called Y-server1 etc, giving me that same separation between channels and PMs on various IRC networks as I have now.

Is this possible? I would think that the bouncer mode would be correct for this, but can this map the same Matrix user to multiple different IRC users, or would this remove the separation I have going on?

Hi,

I got the following message after editing a message:

Editing messages is not supported on IRC, edited text was NOT sent.

I think the right behaviour would be to simply re-send the edited message, if that's possible?

Thanks!

The init methods got removed and replaced by proper constructors, where possible. I don't really know if the code actually works, so handle with care ^^.

I'm getting a decent amount of strange, empty m.notice messages in one of my IRC network control rooms. I'm not sure what info might be useful here, primarily because I'm not exactly sure what is happening to try to reproduce it and only one of my networks is doing it. The network in question seems to be running UnrealIRCd-5.2.2-git.

Here is a screenshot of the messages. They're blank so I guess not that interesting:

And here is the "view source" of one of the messages. I redacted the room_id and sender. I don't know if they're actually anything to worry about sharing, though.

{
  "content": {
    "body": "",
    "msgtype": "m.notice"
  },
  "origin_server_ts": 1648585303893,
  "sender": "@heisenbridge:<redacted>",
  "type": "m.room.message",
  "unsigned": {
    "age": 80
  },
  "event_id": "$Kx6XKEfX4-rTZohjw7p_PPVKqOJ-GpzlJoX5wr1h6J0",
  "room_id": "<redacted>"
}

We found this strange issue that the bridge (in plumb mode) seems to strip @ signs from URLs, which is a problem when sharing links to Mastodon posts.

Heisenbridge should not do any processing with any tokens that might parse as URI. Currently, try sending an URL containing an @mention, and the '@' will disappear from the posted URL, rendering the link invalid.

Makes use of version 9 rooms ability to be restricted to allow users who are members of another rooms. Joins all puppeted users into the hidden room first, if one is set for the channel. Avoids invite spam in the actual rooms.

Migration of existing rooms is possible via room level command, if they are first migrated to version 9 via external means (most Clients can do that with a simple command).

We are now draft/relaymsg aware enough to send them and filter out our own relayed messages.

The tag after relayed name defaults to "m" and is configurable with RELAYTAG plumbed room command.

Hi,

Recently my bridge has stopped working - I think this coincides with the update to synapse 1.47.0, which manifests like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/root/heisenbridge/lib/python3.9/site-packages/heisenbridge/__main__.py", line 171, in _on_mx_event
    await room.on_mx_event(event)

    raise self._matrix_error(ret)
heisenbridge.matrix.MatrixError: M_NOT_JSON

and on synapse:

2021-11-22 16:36:09,025 - synapse.http.servlet - 620 - WARNING - POST-69100 - Unable to parse JSON: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) (b'')

I'm not sure if I can dump the json easily, unless there is a heisenbridge flag I can pass to have it spew out debug?

While control rooms work fine, any attempt to send (or receive) messages in joined irc channels/PMs cause the above

This adds a configuration option quote_messages which allows quoting full messages when replying to a message in Matrix.

Disabled (default, and current behavior):

<alice> hello
<bob> alice: hi

Enabled:

<alice> hello
<bob> > alice: hello
<bob> hi

I find that when there are a lot of people talking on a channel, or when answering an old message, quoting it fully makes more sense than just mentioning the author.

Since I didn't want to change the behavior too much, I kept the current behavior as the default, but I suggest we change the default to the new behavior (or even remove the config option and make it the only behavior...?).

When a room has hundreds of users and only fraction of them come from IRC, the reactions (scissors, chain, ...) just confuse users.

IRC bridge should remain silent when it's in relaybot mode or alternatively it should be a configuration option per channel.

Since a while now, the bridge bot is not working anymore, I'm not sure, but maybe since the last synapse update? Also tried installing it on a new instance of synapse but isn't working either. These are the verbose logs I got when starting the bridge and joining a room with it:

Is that an actual problem or am I just doing something dumb?
