IRC bridge

The IRC bridge installed by us is powered by heisenbridge.

Heisenbridge brings IRC to Matrix by creating an environment where every user connects to each network individually like they would with a traditional IRC bouncer.

Usage

Start a chat with @heisenbridge:your-server.com. When it joins, type help in the chat to see instructions.

  1. Send addnetwork network.name to the bridge bot, eg: addnetwork libera.chat
  2. Send addserver network.name irc-server.address port --tls to the bridge bot, eg: addserver libera.chat irc.libera.chat 6697 --tls
  3. Send open network.name to the bridge bot, eg: open libera.chat. The bridge bot will create a control room for that IRC network and invite you
  4. In the new room, read the bot instructions in the first room message and configure it as you wish, after that send connect
  5. Send join #room-name to the bot to bridge into an IRC room

Pro Tip! You can allow other users (even from other homeservers) to use your bridge by sending addmask @user:some-server.com or even addmask *:other-server.com to the bot
