Matrix is an open-standard, encrypted, and federated chat protocol. Clients exist for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. The standard client is called Element, and can be downloaded at https://element.io/download. A web interface hosted by us can be found at [https://chat.pub.solar/ chat.pub.solar].

== Overview ==

This page will focus on setting up Matrix. It is divided into several sections:
; [[#|Setting up]]: Signing into your Matrix client
; [[#|Bridging]]: Setting up bridges to third-party / proprietary platforms.
; [[#|Tips and Tricks]]: How to enable some niceties.
; [[#|Clients]]: Using a third-party app to connect to Matrix.

=== Learn More ===

More information on Matrix can be found on:
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol) Matrix – Wikipedia]
* [https://joinmatrix.org/ Join Matrix guide]

== Setting up ==

=== Homeserver address for clients ===
When logging in to clients, you'll have to provide your homeserver address. This is <code>matrix.pub.solar</code>, '''not''' <code>chat.pub.solar</code>.

=== Saving your encryption keys ===
The first time you log in, you'll be asked to save your encryption keys. ''Make sure to write these down in a secure location!'' We recommend using a password manager. Matrix messages are end-to-end encrypted, which means that the administrators of pub.solar cannot read their contents. However, if you lose your encryption keys you'll lose access to all previous messages.

=== Cross-device verification ===

Cross-device verification lets you share keys between devices, allowing two trusted devices to automatically be trusted by your contacts. The process is straightforward, either by scanning a QR code, or manually compare a few emojis (or words) to make sure both your devices show the same set. To learn more, read the [https://element.io/features/device-verification overview] or the [https://element.io/help#encryption11 guide] by Element.

Initiating this process differs per client.

* On Element, cross-device verification is prompted when you log into a new device.

== Bridging ==

Proprietary chat services such as Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp can be bridged to Matrix, allowing you to communicate with users on the target network.

Currently, we offer Telegram and IRC bridges for our users. Otherwise, several public bridges are available, such as [https://t2bot.io t2bot] for Discord and Telegram.

=== Telegram ===

Currently, only puppeting is enabled on this instance.

To set up puppeting for your Telegram account:
# Create a direct chat with [https://matrix.to/#/@telegrambot:pub.solar @telegrambot:pub.solar] and wait for it to join.
# Initiate the process by sending <code>login</code>.
# Either follow the link replied to log in via browser, or send your account's phone number directly to the chat.
# Follow further instructions from the bot.

Relay bridging (used to bridge rooms) may be set up in the future.

=== IRC ===

As of January 2024, [https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc IRC bridging] to [https://libera.chat/ Libera Chat] (irc.libera.chat) and [https://interviewfor.red/en/starting.html Scratch IRC] (irc.scratch-network.net) is enabled.

Before reading on, try searching the public room list in your Matrix client to see if there is already an existing bridged room for the IRC channel you would like to join.

To join a channel on IRC from Matrix, simply join the room <code>#_<SERVER>_<CHANNEL></code>, where <code><nowiki><SERVER></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><CHANNEL></nowiki></code> correspond to the IRC server and channel on that IRC server.

For example, to join the channel #pkgsrc on libera.chat IRC, join the Matrix room [https://matrix.to/#/#_libera_#pkgsrc:pub.solar #_libera_#pkgsrc:pub.solar]. One way of joining this room is by entering the following command in the chat box of any room in your Matrix client:
/join #_libera_#pkgsrc:pub.solar

To check the IRC bridge status and to control your connection to IRC servers, start a chat with [https://matrix.to/#/@irc_bot:pub.solar @irc_bot:pub.solar]. This is your [https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-appservice-irc/latest/admin_room.html IRC bridge admin room], where you can set your IRC Nick (username) and store a password if you registered a user on a given IRC server. ''Note that some IRC channels only allow registered users to join.'' Type <code>!help</code> in the chat box to find out available commands in the admin room.

Matrix is an open-standard, encrypted, and federated chat protocol. Clients exist for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. The standard client is called Element, and can be downloaded at https://element.io/download. A web interface hosted by us can be found at [https://chat.pub.solar/ chat.pub.solar].

== Overview ==

This page will focus on setting up Matrix. It is divided into several sections:
; [[#|Setting up]]: Signing into your Matrix client
; [[#|Bridging]]: Setting up bridges to third-party / proprietary platforms.
; [[#|Clients]]: Using a third-party app to connect to Matrix.

=== Learn More ===

More information on Matrix can be found on:
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol) Matrix – Wikipedia]
* [https://joinmatrix.org/ Join Matrix guide]

== Setting up ==

=== Homeserver address for clients ===
When logging in to clients, you'll have to provide your homeserver address. This is <code>matrix.pub.solar</code>, '''not''' <code>chat.pub.solar</code>.

=== Saving your encryption keys ===
The first time you log in, you'll be asked to save your encryption keys. ''Make sure to write these down in a secure location!'' We recommend using a password manager. Matrix messages are end-to-end encrypted, which means that the administrators of pub.solar cannot read their contents. However, if you lose your encryption keys you'll lose access to all previous messages.

=== Cross-device verification ===

Cross-device verification lets you share keys between devices, allowing two trusted devices to automatically be trusted by your contacts. The process is straightforward, either by scanning a QR code, or manually compare a few emojis (or words) to make sure both your devices show the same set. To learn more, read the explanation by [https://element.io/features/device-verification Element].

Initiating this process differs per client.

* On Element, cross-device verification is prompted when you log into a new device.

== Bridging ==

Proprietary chat services such as Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp can be bridged to Matrix, allowing you to communicate with users on the target network.

Currently, we offer Telegram and IRC bridges for our users. Otherwise, several public bridges are available, such as [https://t2bot.io t2bot] for Discord and Telegram.

=== Telegram ===

Currently, only puppeting is enabled on this instance.

To set up puppeting for your Telegram account:
# Create a direct chat with [https://matrix.to/#/@telegrambot:pub.solar @telegrambot:pub.solar] and wait for it to join.
# Initiate the process by sending <code>login</code>.
# Either follow the link replied to log in via browser, or send your account's phone number directly to the chat.
# Follow further instructions from the bot.

Relay bridging (used to bridge rooms) may be set up in the future.

Before reading on, try searching the public room list in your Matrix client to see if there is already an existing bridged room for the IRC channel you would like to join.

To join a channel on IRC from Matrix, simply join the room <code>#_<SERVER>_<CHANNEL></code>, where <code><nowiki><SERVER></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><CHANNEL></nowiki></code> correspond to the IRC server and channel on that IRC server.

For example, to join the channel #pkgsrc on libera.chat IRC, join the Matrix room [https://matrix.to/#/#_libera_#pkgsrc:pub.solar #_libera_#pkgsrc:pub.solar]. One way of joining this room is by entering the following command in the chat box of any room in your Matrix client:
/join #_libera_#pkgsrc:pub.solar

To check the IRC bridge status and to control your connection to IRC servers, start a chat with [https://matrix.to/#/@irc_bot:pub.solar @irc_bot:pub.solar]. This is your [https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-appservice-irc/latest/admin_room.html IRC bridge admin room], where you can set your IRC Nick (username) and store a password if you registered a user on a given IRC server. ''Note that some IRC channels only allow registered users to join.'' Type <code>!help</code> in the chat box to find out available commands in the admin room.

== Clients ==

While the official client application is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Element_(software) Element] ([https://chat.pub.solar/ chat.pub.solar]), you can also use other applications to access Matrix, which may offer different features, a different appearance, and may be more catered to a specific platform.

An officially maintained list of clients can be found at the [https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/ Matrix.org ecosystem page].

Piscimisty: add cross device verification

Matrix is an open-standard, encrypted, and federated chat protocol. Clients exist for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. The standard client is called Element, and can be downloaded at https://element.io/download. A web interface hosted by us can be found at [https://chat.pub.solar/ chat.pub.solar].

== Basic information ==

More information on Matrix can be found on:
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(protocol) Matrix – Wikipedia]
* [https://joinmatrix.org/ Join Matrix guide]

== Setting up ==

=== Homeserver address for clients ===
When logging in to clients, you'll have to provide your homeserver address. This is <code>matrix.pub.solar</code>, '''not''' <code>chat.pub.solar</code>.

=== Saving your encryption keys ===
The first time you log in, you'll be asked to save your encryption keys. ''Make sure to write these down in a secure location!'' We recommend using a password manager. Matrix messages are end-to-end encrypted, which means that the administrators of pub.solar cannot read their contents. However, if you lose your encryption keys you'll lose access to all previous messages.

=== Cross-device verification ===

Cross-device verification lets you share keys between devices, allowing two trusted devices to automatically be trusted by your contacts. The process is straightforward, either by scanning a QR code, or manually compare a few emojis (or words) to make sure both your devices show the same set. To learn more, read the explanation by [https://element.io/features/device-verification Element].

Initiating this process differs per client.

* On Element, cross-device verification is prompted when you log into a new device.

=== Bridging ===

Proprietary chat services such as Discord, Telegram, and WhatsApp can be bridged to Matrix, allowing you to communicate with users on the target network.

Currently, we offer Telegram and IRC bridges for our users. Otherwise, several public bridges are available, such as [https://t2bot.io t2bot] for Discord and Telegram.

==== Telegram ====

Currently, only puppeting is enabled on this instance.

To set up puppeting for your Telegram account:
# Create a direct chat with [https://matrix.to/#/@telegrambot:pub.solar @telegrambot:pub.solar] and wait for it to join.
# Initiate the process by sending <code>login</code>.
# Either follow the link replied to log in via browser, or send your account's phone number directly to the chat.
# Follow further instructions from the bot.

Relay bridging (used to bridge rooms) may be set up in the future.

==== IRC ====

As of January 2024, [https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-appservice-irc IRC bridging] to [https://libera.chat/ Libera Chat] (irc.libera.chat) and [https://interviewfor.red/en/starting.html Scratch IRC] (irc.scratch-network.net) is enabled.

Before reading on, try searching the public room list in your Matrix client to see if there is already an existing bridged room for the IRC channel you would like to join.

To join a channel on IRC from Matrix, simply join the room <code>#_<SERVER>_<CHANNEL></code>, where <code><nowiki><SERVER></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki><CHANNEL></nowiki></code> correspond to the IRC server and channel on that IRC server.

For example, to join the channel #pkgsrc on libera.chat IRC, join the Matrix room [https://matrix.to/#/#_libera_#pkgsrc:pub.solar #_libera_#pkgsrc:pub.solar]. One way of joining this room is by entering the following command in the chat box of any room in your Matrix client:
/join #_libera_#pkgsrc:pub.solar

This is your [https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-appservice-irc/latest/admin_room.html IRC bridge admin room], where you can set your IRC Nick (username) and store a password if you registered a user on a given IRC server.

== The pub.solar community ==
Everyone that does work for pub.solar is part of the crew, though only specific crew members have administrative access to the infrastructure.

Following the social.coop model, pub.solar is divided up into several areas of work; community, tech, and finance & legal. We are currently a lot smaller than social.coop however, so pub.solarians are not members of just one WG, but rather just part of the crew.

=== Community ===
This concerns itself with organizing community events like hakken.irl, making sure user documentation is up-to-date, moderating community spaces, improving the onboarding process for new pub.solarians, and other people-things.

pub.solarians with moderation rights are:

* @teutat3s
* @axeman
* @hensoko
* @b12f

=== Technical ===
This is about maintaining the pub.solar infrastructure. The whole infrastructure is captured in one git repository, which can be accessed in our forgejo instance under [https://git.pub.solar/pub-solar/infra pub-solar/infra]. The technical documentation for the infrastructure is also located there.

pub.solarians with administrative (root) access to the infrastructure are:

* @teutat3s
* @axeman
* @hensoko
* @b12f

=== Finance ===
This is about making sure that the finances are in order. This means doing bookkeeping, and handling payments and donations. Financial statements can be found in our forgejo instance under [https://git.pub.solar/pub-solar/finances pub-solar/finances].

pub.solarians with access to the bank account are:

* @teutat3s

=== Legal ===
This concerns itself with making sure the privacy policy is up-to-date and correct, that we're running everything according to our statutes, and anything else that might touch the law.

<strong>Welcome to the pub.solar wiki!</strong>

This wiki is meant for collecting information and documentation around the pub.solar services and community. This wiki is open for everyone with a pub.solar ID to edit. If you think information is missing, feel free to add it! We're especially grateful for tutorials and how-tos on moving away from proprietary services to pub.solar.

== Using pub.solar services ==
If you're new to our services, check out [[Migrating from a proprietary cloud]] for a basic overview of how to use our services.


== The pub.solar community ==
Everyone that does work for pub.solar is part of the crew, though only specific crew members have administrative access to the infrastructure.

Following the social.coop model, pub.solar is divided up into several areas of work; community, tech, and finance & legal. We are currently a lot smaller than social.coop however, so pub.solarians are not members of just one WG, but rather just part of the crew.

=== Community ===
This concerns itself with organizing community events like hakken.irl, making sure user documentation is up-to-date, moderating community spaces, improving the onboarding process for new pub.solarians, and other people-things.

pub.solarians with moderation rights are:

* @teutat3s
* @axeman
* @hensoko
* @b12f

=== Technical ===
This is about maintaining the pub.solar infrastructure. The whole infrastructure is captured in one git repository, which can be accessed in our forgejo instance under [https://git.pub.solar/pub-solar/infra pub-solar/infra]. The technical documentation for the infrastructure is also located there.

pub.solarians with administrative (root) access to the infrastructure are:

* @teutat3s
* @axeman
* @hensoko
* @b12f

=== Finance ===
This is about making sure that the finances are in order. This means doing bookkeeping, and handling payments and donations. Financial statements can be found in our forgejo instance under [https://git.pub.solar/pub-solar/finances pub-solar/finances].

pub.solarians with access to the bank account are:

* @teutat3s

=== Legal ===
This concerns itself with making sure the privacy policy is up-to-date and correct, that we're running everything according to our statutes, and anything else that might touch the law. Legal documents can be found in our forgejo instance under [https://git.pub.solar/pub-solar/legal pub-solar/legal].

Piscimisty: add info on project namespace, add bullet points

Welcome to the pub.solar wiki! This page will introduce you to the wiki editing process.

== How to edit the wiki ==

This wiki runs on the same [https://wikimedia.org WikiMedia] software as Wikipedia does, which means the same methods apply in editing articles.

* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:VisualEditor/User_guide Editing visually with the VisualEditor]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Wikitext Editing using traditional wiki markup]

== Scope of this wiki ==

This wiki will mainly focus on pub.solar services, but may also cover other subjects related to online privacy. Many individuals and organizations have written about privacy, and such useful resources may also be added here. If there is something useful and new that hasn't been written elsewhere, it would be appreciated.

The "pub.solar wiki" (project) namespace will hold meta articles related to editing the wiki.

== Quick reference ==

Matrix

2024-01-07T01:34:12Z

Piscimisty: add intro

Matrix is an encrypted chat protocol. Clients exist for multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. The standard client is called Element, and can be downloaded at https://element.io/download. A web interface hosted by us can be found at [https://chat.pub.solar/ chat.pub.solar].

== Introduction ==

Matrix is an open-standard, encrypted, and federated chat protocol. As Matrix is merely a protocol, to use it, you have to choose a client application.

== Setting up ==

=== Homeserver address for clients ===
When logging in to clients, you'll have to provide your homeserver address. This is <code>matrix.pub.solar</code>, '''not''' <code>chat.pub.solar</code>.

=== Saving your encryption keys ===
The first time you log in, you'll be asked to save your encryption keys. ''Make sure to write these down in a secure location!'' We recommend using a password manager. Matrix messages are end-to-end encrypted, which means that the administrators of pub.solar cannot read their contents. However, if you lose your encryption keys you'll lose access to all previous messages.
