matrix-websockets-proxy

This project provides a websockets wrapper for a Matrix.org homeserver. See https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/drafts/websockets.rst for information on the protocol it implements.

To run it, you will need a working go installation, including a correctly-set GOPATH.

You can then download and build matrix-websockets-proxy with:

go get github.com/krombel/matrix-websockets-proxy

The above will clone the repository into $GOPATH/src/github.com/krombel/matrix-websockets-proxy, and build the binary at $GOPATH/bin/matrix-websockets.

To run it, just do:

$GOPATH/bin/matrix-websockets-proxy

To rebuild, use:

go build github.com/krombel/matrix-websockets-proxy

To update to the latest state, run:

go get -u github.com/krombel/matrix-websockets-proxy

integration with riot-web (in particular matrix-js-sdk)

Currently there exists one reference implementation to use this proxy. Use my fork of matrix-js-sdk and compile riot-web on your own or use my hosted instance at https://msgs.tk/riotws

nginx-integration

To make this work you can integrate this proxy using nginx as follows:

        location /_matrix/client/ws/r0 {
                proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8009/stream;
                proxy_http_version 1.1;
                proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
                proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
                proxy_set_header Origin "";
        }
