cd $GOPATH

```
|
|
$ ls bin/

|
matterbridge
|

## config
|
|
### matterbridge
|
|
matterbridge looks for matterbridge.conf in current directory. (use -conf to specify another file)
|
|
|
|
Look at [matterbridge.conf.sample] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.conf.sample) for an example.
|
|
|
|
### mattermost
|
|
#### webhooks version
|
|
You'll have to configure the incoming and outgoing webhooks.
|
|
|
|
* incoming webhooks
|
|
Go to "account settings" - integrations - "incoming webhooks".
|
|
Choose a channel at "Add a new incoming webhook", this will create a webhook URL right below.
|
|
This URL should be set in the matterbridge.conf in the [mattermost] section (see above)
|
|
|
|
* outgoing webhooks
|
|
Go to "account settings" - integrations - "outgoing webhooks".
|
|
Choose a channel (the same as the one from incoming webhooks) and fill in the address and port of the server matterbridge will run on.
|
|
|
|
e.g. http://192.168.1.1:9999 (192.168.1.1:9999 is the BindAddress specified in [mattermost] section of matterbridge.conf)
|
|

## FAQ
|
|
Please look at [matterbridge.conf.sample] (https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/blob/master/matterbridge.conf.sample) for more information first.
|
|
### Mattermost doesn't show the IRC nicks
|
|
If you're running the webhooks version, this can be fixed by either:
|
|
* enabling "override usernames". See [mattermost documentation](http://docs.mattermost.com/developer/webhooks-incoming.html#enabling-incoming-webhooks)
|
|
* setting ```PrefixMessagesWithNick``` to ```true``` in ```mattermost``` section of your matterbridge.conf.
|
|
|
|
If you're running the plus version you'll need to:
|
|
* setting ```PrefixMessagesWithNick``` to ```true``` in ```mattermost``` section of your matterbridge.conf.
|
|
|
|
Also look at the ```RemoteNickFormat``` setting.
