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)

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

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 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
• 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.
