Bridges with matrix conduit

I am actually tried the different matrix variants. Conduit is my favourite. But I can’t figure out how to setup a bridge with it.

I started with telegram. The appservice is registered and mautrix container logs are clean. I even can talk to the telegrambot but login isn’t possible (since 2023) but what’s the alternative? Really lost at this point.

have you followed the instructions here?

docs.mau.fi/bridges/python/…/authentication.html

this section specifically mentions:

Telegram officially discontinued registration from 3rd party clients as of 2023-02-18, so support for it was removed in v0.13.0 of the bridge. You should sign up using a mobile client and then log into the bridge.

so not sure if that’s the issue you’re running into (the timing matches up, anyways).

i’ve never used the telegram bridge myself, but i have other bridges running successfully.

Yes, I read it. But this is really unspecific. Login into the mobile client? Which one? Telegram? How do I login from there? This is not enough information. So I thought someone managed to get further.

i’m just guessing at this point, but if you send just the login command to the bot, it sounds like it should give you some options on how to login? what are the options it gives you in response, if anything? and have you tried any of them?

Samsy@lemmy.ml on 19 Mar 18:51 collapse

Yes sure but login does nothing the bot says it needs the confirmation code from telegram but telegram doesn’t send a notification like anytime if you login from a new device. I thought that’s the part they removed in 2023.

I thought I misunderstood here something, the guide says it needs the api data. (I have this part already) but maybe I don’t get the confirmation code like normally maybe it got send to the api?

You can try “login-qr” and scan the qr code you get with the telegram app.

Either way, you need to already be logged into telegram in the normal client to login using the bridge.

Late answer, I was ill. I really got a QR code but if I scan it with telegram it says invalid token.

Huh. Is the bridge up to date and such?

For me it pretty much just works, has for like two years.

As I say in another comment, I just start over from scratch and it works with the first try.

Thx everyone for pointing me through its easier than thought.

Then you have issues with telegram, because I sure get a confirmation code each time I login on a different device, on telegram…

Have you hidden or silenced telegram chat on telegram?

Samsy@lemmy.ml on 21 Mar 23:31 collapse

Silenced chats, yes. I try this.

I found one called conduwuit and immediately used that to setup lol

Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu on 20 Mar 05:51 next collapse

Conduit is abandoned, use conduwuit. I self host it with many bridges with good success.

Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu on 20 Mar 05:52 collapse

I use mautrix telegram (the python bridge) and just works fine.

What is the issue you are facing? Any errors? Why cannot you login? It worked at the first try for me.

Samsy@lemmy.ml on 21 Mar 23:36 collapse

I tried out the signal bridge just to see if there is something completely wrong. I just needed 10 min. and signal bridge worked.

Shimitar@downonthestreet.eu on 22 Mar 08:41 collapse

What went wrong with telegram? Which error?

Samsy@lemmy.ml on 22 Mar 10:06 collapse

It was an auth error all the time. Today I decided to start from scratch. And it works with the first try. I bet I had some Linux permission quirks.
