clojurians-matrix

These repo is exploring the potential for a discovery site, application and Matrix directory server for Clojurians Slack community.

Goals

• provide infrastructure to maintain a list of rooms that are vetted by a set of administrators
• provide a web ui to browse & "discover" these rooms rooms
• provide a Matrix directory server endpoint that can be used by clients to provide different sets of rooms to users

Currently we're faking being a real Matrix home server and just implement the publicRooms directory server endpoint by serving a static file at the right location.

Adding a Room to the Directory

1. Invite an admin

2. Make sure the room matches all criteria

3. Submit a pull request which adds a map with at least the following fields to resources/rooms.edn

    {:matrix/internal-id "!gWEkPbprAwBHgNtVcH:matrix.org"
     :matrix/room-type :matrix/native}
   

How to run

boot fetch-rooms dev                  ; development mode
boot production fetch-rooms watch run ; production mode

Deploying

For deployment you currently need a file clojurians-martinklepsch-com.confetti.edn that contains AWS credentials and the name of an S3 bucket to push to. (See deploy for details.)

boot production fetch-rooms deploy

Note: a deployment of the site can be found at https://d3981087m4idf6.cloudfront.net. You can use the following command to get a Matrix directory server compatible list of all rooms in the directory:

curl http://d3981087m4idf6.cloudfront.net/_matrix/client/r0/publicRooms
