Service Update: New Component - Baibot

At etke.cc , we haven’t been entirely happy with the state of AI / LLM integration into Matrix.

We’ve been offering the matrix-chatgpt-bot service to our customers, but we’ve found it rather limited because:

  • it’s complicated to install, requiring manual intervention
  • it doesn’t allow self-servicing (changing the configuration at runtime), which increases our support burden
  • it only supports a single provider (OpenAI) and model, hardcoded in the configuration
  • it only supports text-generation
  • it stores all its state (including messages exchanged in encrypted rooms) in a plaintext file

This provoked us to develop a more private and much more 🌟 featureful alternative - baibot . 🤖 As with everything we do, it’s released under the AGPLv3 license.

Existing etke.cc customers can request the new baibot service by contacting us , while new customers can order it directly from our order form .

To learn more about the project and how to install the software against your own Matrix server, see the baibot project on Github .

Service Update: ChatGPT bot is Deprecated

The ChatGPT bot hasn’t been receiving fixes and new features for a long time, so we decided to deprecate it and offer Baibot as a replacement.

Service Update: Synapse-Admin Fork

Since day one, we’ve been offering Synapse-Admin as a core service. Over time, we identified several areas where small tweaks and enhancements could improve the user experience.

Little by little, we’be been making improvements or adopting and reworking existing upstream PRs, which have been stuck in review for long. We’re hoping that all our changes will eventually be accepted upstream and will make our fork obsolete.

For now, it seems like the original project has lost momentum, so we’ll continue maintaining our own fork, for the benefit of our customers

Here’s a list of the changes already implemented (full details here ):

More updates are in the pipeline (check them here ). A big thank you to the authors and contributors of the upstream project for providing such an outstanding tool!

Service Update: admin.etke.cc Goes Live

Our Synapse-Admin fork is now the default on all servers, updated with regular maintenance runs. However, if you’d like to check out the latest improvements before they’re installed on your server, we’ve launched admin.etke.cc . This CDN-hosted version always features the latest commit from the fork repo .

Service Updates: Migration to GitHub

We’ve previously been using Gitlab, because other platforms lacked features we needed.

It seems like Github has caught up and provides a better platform with a larger community of users.

As such, we’ve migrated all of our Gitlab repositories to Github. Most of our repositories were migrated to the new etkecc organization, while non-Matrix-related Ansible roles (which were already used by the MASH playbook ) now live under the MASH organization.

There is a lot of housekeeping to do (e.g., updating various website links), but the migration part of the process is now complete.

With this change, we hope to achieve improved collaboration on our FOSS projects!

Reminder About Subscriptions Migration

Context . Impacts only customers on the deprecated price model (Maintenance and Turnkey subscriptions). If you got your server after December 2023 or already switched to the new By Complexity model, you are not affected and thus you don’t need to do anything.

If you intend to switch from a deprecated subscription plan, you don’t need to submit a new order. Just obtain the price for your specific server by using run price of etke.cc/scheduler and follow the step-by-step guide to update your payment details

Service Updates: HTTP/3 Support

HTTP/3 is now supported and enabled by default for all customers, making access to services even faster.

On-Premises customers, which have an additional firewall in front of their server, will need to open UDP ports 443 and 8448 in their provider-level firewall (if enabled) for HTTP/3 to work.

Service Updates: The Scheduler Gets price Command

The price command provides an overview of your server’s cost with a detailed breakdown by components, it’s especially handy when you want to adjust your server’s components and their cost.
