I've been in the Matrix.org Ecosystem for a while and use some bridging software to roam:Illegally integrate other chat networks in to a single client which syncs between my phone and desktops and etc.

Synapse on NixOS

This is an Arroyo NixOS module used in My Wobserver Configuration.

CANCELLED mx-puppet-discord

• State "CANCELLED" from "INPROGRESS" [2022-05-11 Wed 19:09]

mx-puppet-discord allows a savvy Discord user to log in to their discord guilds and chat in them through a Matrix client. Definitely don't do a crimes with it, I'm sure I'll be banned for this indiscretion some day but this bridging is the core value proposition of Matrix for me.

It's primarily operated via chat commands. I am mostly trusting the default nixpkgs configuration.

{ ... }:

{
  services.mx-puppet-discord.enable = true;
  # services.matrix-synapse.extraConfig = ''
  # '';
  services.mx-puppet-discord.settings = {
    database.filename = "/svc/matrix-puppet-discord/database.db";
    bridge = {
      port = 8091;
      bindAddress = 0.0.0.0;
      domain = "kickass.systems";
      homeserverUrl = "https://matrix.fontkeming.fail";
    };
    provisioning.whitelist = ["@rrix:kickass\\.systems"];
  };
}

This seems nice maybe
