Matterbridge API plugin for Delta Chat

Matterdelta

Matterdelta is a Matterbridge API plugin allowing to connect Delta Chat group chats to the various chat services supported by Matterbridge.

pip install matterdelta

Usage

Configure the bot's Delta Chat account:

matterdelta init [e-mail] PASSWORD

You can run matterdelta init several times to add multiple different accounts to the bot so it can be reached in more than one email address.

The bot's display name, avatar and status/signature can also be tweaked:

matterdelta config selfavatar "/path/to/avatar.png"
matterdelta config displayname "Bridge Bot"
matterdelta config selfstatus "Hi, I am a Delta Chat bot"

To run the bot so it starts processing messages:

matterdelta serve

To see all available options run matterdelta --help

Example Configuration

matterbridge.toml

[api]
    [api.deltachat]
    BindAddress="127.0.0.1:4242"
    Token="MATTERBRIDGE_TOKEN"
    Buffer=1000
    RemoteNickFormat="{NICK}"

...

[[gateway]]
name="gateway1"
enable=true

    [[gateway.inout]]
    account="api.deltachat"
    channel="api"

    ...

Add these to your existing Matterbridge config to set up an API instance that Matterdelta can connect to.

config.json

{
  "gateways": [
    {"gateway": "gateway1", "accountId": 1, "chatId": 1234}
  ],
  "api": {
    "url": "http://127.0.0.1:4242",
    "token": "MATTERBRIDGE_TOKEN"
  },
  "quoteFormat": "{MESSAGE} (re @{QUOTENICK}: {QUOTEMESSAGE:.46})"
}

This file should be in Matterdelta's configuration directory, usually ~/.config/matterdelta/ in Linux-based systems.

To get the accountId and chatId of the chat you want to bridge, run the bot and add its address to your Delta Chat group, then send /id in the group, the bot will reply with the account and chat id, then edit the configuration file and restart the bot.
