Description

This is a the tracking bug for properly supporting the Matrix (https://matrix.org/) protocol.

Comment 1

Essentially every open bug in the Matrix component is necessary for "proper" support of Matrix.

Hmm, feel free to change the summary. Some support was added in bug 1199855, but I filed this to make it a first class citizen. ATM it's very unclear how to even set up a matrix account...

Matrix is currently disabled since creating new accounts doesn't work. I get your point though, we can use this as a place to point someone to if they want to work on it.

I updated this with what I think are the basic necessities to get Matrix to work. I'm sure we'll run into other rough edges as someone fleshes this out.

I also found that when you set up a new account, server details i.e server name and port is not getting saved in the account manager. So one needs to re-enter the details in the account manager. Patrick, do you find this issue?

I don't think we're considering that part of our MVP integration of Matrix. We definitely want to support it, but it'll be quite a bit of work.

True. But, might be needed before we could enable it for anything but nightly. Otherwise you can't really do 1:1 chats since they are set to encrypted by default so all your existing 1:1 rooms would fail otherwise... Right?

This issue is about making Matrix usable, not necessarily enabling it by default.

If we add every bug here it becomes no different than the Bugzilla component.
