# Configuration
## Basic configuration
See [howto](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/wiki/How-to-create-your-config) for a step by step walkthrough for creating your configuration.

## Advanced configuration
* [matterbridge.toml.sample](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.toml.sample) for documentation and an example.

## Examples 
### Bridge mattermost (off-topic) - irc (#testing)
```
[irc]
    [irc.freenode]
    Server="irc.freenode.net:6667"
    Nick="yourbotname"

[mattermost]
    [mattermost.work]
    useAPI=true
    Server="yourmattermostserver.tld"
    Team="yourteam"
    Login="yourlogin"
    Password="yourpass"
    PrefixMessagesWithNick=true

[[gateway]]
name="mygateway"
enable=true
    [[gateway.inout]]
    account="irc.freenode"
    channel="#testing"

    [[gateway.inout]]
    account="mattermost.work"
    channel="off-topic"
```

### Bridge slack (#general) - discord (general)
```
[slack]
[slack.test]
useAPI=true
Token="yourslacktoken"
PrefixMessagesWithNick=true

[discord]
[discord.test]
Token="yourdiscordtoken"
Server="yourdiscordservername"

[general]
RemoteNickFormat="[{PROTOCOL}/{BRIDGE}] <{NICK}> "

[[gateway]]
    name = "mygateway"
    enable=true

    [[gateway.inout]]
    account = "discord.test"
    channel="general"

    [[gateway.inout]]
    account ="slack.test"
    channel = "general"
```

# Running
1) Copy the matterbridge.toml.sample to matterbridge.toml 
2) Edit matterbridge.toml with the settings for your environment. 
3) Now you can run matterbridge.  (```./matterbridge```)   

(Matterbridge will only look for the config file in your current directory, if it isn't there specify -conf "/path/toyour/matterbridge.toml")

```
Usage of ./matterbridge:
  -conf string
        config file (default "matterbridge.toml")
  -debug
        enable debug
  -gops
        enable gops agent
  -version
        show version
```

## Docker
Create your matterbridge.toml file locally eg in ```/tmp/matterbridge.toml```
```
docker run -ti -v /tmp/matterbridge.toml:/matterbridge.toml 42wim/matterbridge
```

# FAQ

Please look at [matterbridge.toml.sample](https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.toml.sample) for more information first.

## Mattermost doesn't show the IRC nicks
If you're running the webhooks version, this can be fixed by either:
* enabling "override usernames". See [mattermost documentation](http://docs.mattermost.com/developer/webhooks-incoming.html#enabling-incoming-webhooks)
* setting ```PrefixMessagesWithNick``` to ```true``` in ```mattermost``` section of your matterbridge.toml.

If you're running the API version you'll need to:
* setting ```PrefixMessagesWithNick``` to ```true``` in ```mattermost``` section of your matterbridge.toml.

Also look at the ```RemoteNickFormat``` setting.
