Does anyone have experience setting up weechat-matrix to connect to chat.fedoraproject.org? I’m getting logged in, but then disconnected repeatedly with:

20:38:19  fedora  -- | matrix: received certificate

20:38:19  fedora  -- | matrix: disconnected from server
20:38:19  fedora  -- | matrix: reconnecting to server in 10 seconds

Really just a shot in the dark at the moment.

I haven’t tried to use weechat with Fedora’s Matrix server, but it looks like special server-side configuration is required for the weechat client to work properly:

Maybe that isn’t configured?

It’s possible, but I would expect with the number of clients connecting that configuring http2 and max connections settings would already be set fairly high on the server side.

Looking a the issues as a whole, they also don’t show the SyncError: 404 unknown error message. I am running a newer version of the script and weechat, so it’s possible I’m still hitting the same issue, but with better (or worse?) error messaging.

I also think weechat-matrix.py is not getting the love it once did (README.md and 6 months since last commits). The weechat-matrix-rs project is preferred according to the maintainer, but when I roll over to that project, it “doesn’t do much yet.”…and hasn’t been updated in two years.

Perhaps I just need to keep looking for another option…

Not that it’s any help to those who want to use weechat-matrix, but I have found gomuks works fine. I had to pull the binary from the last CI build against master at Pipelines · Tulir Asokan / gomuks · GitLab.

I was hoping to use weechat as I use it for irc and slack already. One place for all things would have been nice, but it’s closer to what I was looking for.
