Max Sandholm 18c5a5cd7b Update bridged displaynames and profile pictures (#27) 
* Telegram profile pictures and display names are updated

The bridge updates the displayname and/or the avatar of the bridged Matrix
user when the Telegram user changes them.

This is done by checking the name and profile pic of the sender when a message
is received from Telegram, and comparing to the database to see if they have
changed. If they have, it will update the database and send the updates to the
Matrix homeserver.

* Handle users without profile pictures correctly

* Fix aliases-related breakage

README.md

telematrix

A bridge between Telegram and Matrix. Currently under development — this project isn't considered to be in a usable state right now.

Installation

Dependencies

First, create a virtualenv and activate it:

virtualenv venv -p $(which python3)
. venv/bin/activate

Then install the requirements using pip:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Configuration

telematrix configuration

First, copy config.json.example to config.json. Then fill in the fields:

  • tokens.hs: A randomly generated token
  • tokens.as: Another randomly generated token
  • tokens.telegram: The Telegram bot API token, as generated by @BotFather
  • tokens.google: A Google API key, used for URL shortening. Can be left out to disable.
  • hosts.internal: The homeserver host to connect to internally.
  • hosts.external: The external domain of the homeserver, used for generating URLs.
  • hosts.bare: Just the (sub)domain of the server.
  • user_id_format: A Python str.format-style string to format user IDs as
  • db_url: A SQLAlchemy URL for the database. See the SQLAlchemy docs.

Synapse configuration

Copy asconfig.yaml.example to asconfig.yaml, then fill in the fields:

  • url: The host and port of telematrix. Most likely http://localhost:5000.
  • as_token: token.as from telematrix config.
  • hs_token: token.hs from telematrix config.

The rest of the config can be left as is. Finally, add a relative path to this config file in the Synapse's homeserver.yaml:

app_service_config_files:
    - "../telematrix/asconfig.yaml"

Contributions

Want to help? Awesome! This bridge still needs a lot of work, so any help is welcome.

A great start is reporting bugs — if you find it doesn't work like it's supposed to, do submit an issue on Github. Or, if you're a programmer (which you probably are, considering you are on this website), feel free to try to fix it yourself. Just make sure Pylint approves of your code!
