||
Description
|
||
-----------
|
||
|
||
This module adds support for sending notifications via
|
||
[Matrix](https://matrix.org/) via client server api. A queue is used to
|
||
make sure notifications are not lost on failure but sent later.
|
||
|
||
Requirements and installation
|
||
-----------------------------
|
||
|
||
Just install the module:
|
||
|
||
$ScriptInstallUpdate mod/notification-matrix;
|
||
|
||
Also install a Matrix client on at least one of your mobile and/or desktop
|
||
devices. Create and setup an account there, we will reference that as
|
||
"*general account*" later.
|
||
|
||
Configuration
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
Edit `global-config-overlay`, add `MatrixHomeServer`, `MatrixAccessToken` and
|
||
`MatrixRoom` - see below on hints how to retrieve this information. Then
|
||
reload the configuration.
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ **Info**: Copy relevant configuration from
|
||
> [`global-config`](../../global-config.rsc) (the one without `-overlay`) to
|
||
> your local `global-config-overlay` and modify it to your specific needs.
|
||
|
||
The Matrix server is connected via encrypted https, and certificate
|
||
verification is applied. So make sure you have the certificate chain for
|
||
your server in device's certificate store.
|
||
|
||
> ℹ️ **Info**: The *matrix.org* server uses a Cloudflare certificate. You can
|
||
> install that with: `$CertificateAvailable "Cloudflare Inc ECC CA-3"`
|
||
|
||
### From other device
|
||
|
||
If you have setup your Matrix *notification account* before just reuse that.
|
||
Copy the relevant configuration to the device to be configured.
|
||
|
||
### Setup new account
|
||
|
||
As there is no privilege separation you should create a dedicated account
|
||
for use with these scripts, in addition to your *general account*.
|
||
We will reference that as "*notification account*" in the following steps.
|
||
|
||
#### Authenticate
|
||
|
||
Matrix user accounts are identified by a unique user id in the form of
|
||
`@localpart:domain`. Use that and your password to generate an access token
|
||
and write first part of the configuration:
|
||
|
||
$SetupMatrixAuthenticate "@example:matrix.org" "v3ry-s3cr3t";
|
||
|
||
![authenticate](notification-matrix.d/01-authenticate.avif)
|
||
|
||
The configuration is written to a new configuration snippet
|
||
`global-config-overlay.d/mod/notification-matrix`.
|
||
|
||
#### Join Room
|
||
|
||
Every Matix chat is a room, so we have to create one. Do that with your
|
||
*general account*, this makes sure your *general account* is the room owner.
|
||
Then join the room and invite the *notification account* by its user id
|
||
"*@example:matrix.org*".
|
||
Look up the *room id* within the Matrix client, it should read like
|
||
"*!WUcxpSjKyxSGelouhA:matrix.org*" (starting with an exclamation mark and
|
||
ending with the domain).
|
||
|
||
Finally make the *notification account* join into the room by accepting
|
||
the invite.
|
||
|
||
$SetupMatrixJoinRoom "!WUcxpSjKyxSGelouhA:matrix.org";
|
||
|
||
![join room](notification-matrix.d/02-join-room.avif)
|
||
|
||
The configuration is appended to the configuration snippet
|
||
`global-config-overlay.d/mod/notification-matrix`.
|
||
|
||
Usage and invocation
|
||
--------------------
|
||
|
||
There's nothing special to do. Every script or function sending a notification
|
||
will now send it to your Matrix account.
|
||
|
||
But of course you can use the function to send notifications directly. Give
|
||
it a try:
|
||
|
||
$SendMatrix "Subject..." "Body...";
|
||
|
||
Alternatively this sends a notification with all available and configured
|
||
methods:
|
||
|
||
$SendNotification "Subject..." "Body...";
|
||
|
||
To use the functions in your own scripts you have to declare them first.
|
||
Place this before you call them:
|
||
|
||
:global SendMatrix;
|
||
:global SendNotification;
|
||
|
||
In case there is a situation when the queue needs to be purged there is a
|
||
function available:
|
||
|
||
$PurgeMatrixQueue;
|
||
|
||
