Matrix can not be used to connect to Libera.Chat IRC channels anymore due the official bridge being taken down by Matrix Foundation. |
Matrix là một mạng lưới truyền thông thời gian thực phi tập trung/phân tán, kết hợp tính mở và tính linh hoạt của các giải pháp như IRC với tính thân thiện với người dùng của các mạng lưới truyền thông tập trung hiện đại như Discord, Mattermost, Slack, Telegram, v.v.
Nó dựa trên một giao thức mở do một tổ chức phi lợi nhuận quản lý với sự tham gia của cộng đồng, một số triển khai máy khách và máy chủ nguồn mở, khả năng lưu trữ máy chủ của riêng bạn và liên kết nó với các máy chủ khác, khả năng tương tác với các mạng lưới truyền thông khác.
Nó đi kèm với nhiều tiện ích của các giải pháp cập nhật, như giao diện web và ứng dụng dành cho thiết bị di động, HTML phong phú, dễ dàng bắt kịp cuộc trò chuyện bị lỡ, tìm kiếm, thông báo, theo dõi tin nhắn đã đọc, chỉnh sửa tin nhắn, phản hồi biểu tượng cảm xúc, cuộc gọi thoại và video hội nghị.
For the most techy and nostalgic people, the official Matrix client, Element, can also be used as an IRC client or bouncer.
To avoid confusion with various other things it is often referred to as matrix.org, after its main website.
Starting with Matrix
The easiest way to get started with Matrix is using the web interface of the standard client, Element (formerly Riot). To register, create a free Matrix account. You'll be able to use it both as a Matrix client and as an IRC client that can receive messages while offline.
There's also an Android and iOS app for Element, and a desktop app. Just install the appropriate version.
There's also a vast number of alternative clients, see “Try Matrix Now“ and “Clients” on Matrix website.
Using Element as an IRC client
Due to technical difficulties, Element does no longer work as an IRC client. See T341314 for details. |
Register a Matrix account, as above. Your username does not have to match your IRC nick (although it's always nice for avoiding confusion).
The UI-specific parts of the instructions above assume you are using the Element web interface.
Configuring your IRC nick
(This is optional, but your default nick is <your matrix nickname>[m]
which is not very nice.)
- Start a chat with the Matrix-IRC bridge of matrix.org by clicking the (+) icon in the left sidebar next to "People" and entering
@appservice:libera.chat
and click the "Start Chat" button. - Wait until "@appservice:libera.chat joined the room." is displayed.
- In the "Send a message" area at the bottom, enter
!nick <yournick>
and press the Enter key
(Make sure your nick is actually available. If have are using an IRC bouncer, make sure to disconnect it first. If you are using IRCCloud, signing out is not enough; you'll need to click on the gear icon next to the "LiberaChat" heading in the upper-right corner, and choose "Disconnect" to release the nick.)
Authenticating with LiberaChat
(This is optional but currently many LiberaChat channels don't allow unauthenticated users due to spam problems.)
If you do not already have a LiberaChat account, you need to register one first; see instructions. In case you use Element for that, when the instructions say /msg nickserv <blah>
you just need to send <blah>
as a private message to NickServ (@NickServ:libera.chat
; see Send private messages section below).
Open a private chat with appservice as above, then type !username irc.libera.chat <your NickServ username>
and then !storepass irc.libera.chat <your password>
. This will permanently store your username and password on the Matrix application server and use it automatically answer NickServ queries. (In the past this was somewhat unreliable but these days it seems to be working well.)
You can then type !reconnect
to verify the bridge properly authenticates you to NickServ upon connection.
If you don't want to store your password, you can also just start a private chat with LiberaChat's NickServ and type identify <username> <password>
, as you would in an IRC client. (There is no way to use a secure protocol such as SASL, but your connection is to the Matrix homeserver and that part is always encrypted via HTTPS.)
Join IRC channels
- Click on the button near the top of the left-hand sidebar to bring up the room directory. Open the drop-down server list menu by clicking the button under the search field. Click "Add a new server" and add
libera.chat
. Now just simply search the channel name in the search field. (i.e.#wikipedia-en
) - If you can't figure out the above step, just enter the channel address (such as
#wikipedia-en:libera.chat
) in the input field, and click the "Join" button in the input field or press Enter. - Click "Join the discussion" in the dialog that comes up (only the first time).
- In cases of private channels, you can get an invite by messaging
!join #channelName
to@appservice:libera.chat
.
Send private messages
Click the (+) icon in the left sidebar next to "People", enter the username and click the "Start Chat" button. You can use the full Matrix ID which is @<username>:libera.chat
for LiberaChat users (e.g. @tgr:libera.chat
for the tgr
nick), but just typing the username into the dialog and relying on search should work too. If you are already on the same channel then you can also just click on the username in the right sidebar (there is a field for filtering at the bottom, in case it's too long) and then on the "Start a chat" option.
If you have already sent messages to this person before (or received messages from them), you can just click on their name in the "People" section of the left sidebar instead.
Linking to LiberaChat channels
LiberaChat channels can be referenced within Matrix as <channel>:libera.chat
(e.g. #mediawiki:libera.chat
) and can be linked as https://app.element.io/#/room/<channel>:libera.chat
. On this wiki, you can also use the {{matrix-channel}} template.
Other
If you need further help with your LiberaChat connection, try issuing the command !help
in your chat with @appservice:libera.chat
. If that doesn't work, you can try asking for help in the #irc:matrix.org
room, where people who maintain the IRC bridge code hang out.
To allow messages from unregistered IRC users send !cmd irc.libera.chat MODE <your nick> -R
to appservice. Due to LiberaChat's spam issues, this is not advised.
