Installation

Discourse setup

Go to Admin Settings > API and create a new API key. It should have a granular scope and be able to access all users. Make sure you also give the token topics write access.

Api settings

installation with docker-compose.yml

services:
    discourse-chat-bridge:
        image: oci.aosus.org/aosus/discourse-chat-bridge:latest
        restart: always
        environment:
            URL: "https://discourse.example.com"
            DISCOURSE_FORUM_NAME: "Discourse community"
            DISCOURSE_TOKEN: "API key with write access for all users"
            DISCOURSE_USERNAME: "username to be used for Direct messages from the bridge"
            TELEGRAM_TOKEN: ""
            MATRIX_USERNAME: ""
            #MATRIX_PASSWORD: "" matrix password shouldn't beused in env variables, rather you should directly set the access token.
            MATRIX_HOMESERVER_URL: "https://matrix.example.com"
            MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN: ""
            MATRIX_AUTOJOIN: TRUE
