Pantalaimon
Pantalaimon is a Matrix proxy that handles end-to-end encryption support.
Installation
It can be installed with the pantalaimon package, and the panctl
command line tool is in the pantalaimon-ui package.
Quickstart
There is two ways pantalaimon can be used: the first is to allow a bot access to an encrypted room, and the second is allowing a human to use access an encrypted room with a client that doesn't support end to end encryption yet, like Fractal. This wiki page currently only cover the second use case.
First, create a config file for pantalaimon at ~/.config/pantalaimon/pantalaimon.conf:
[MyMatrixServer] Homeserver = https://matrix.myserver.xyz ListenAddress = localhost ListenPort = 8009
This is the minimal configuration file, but man 5 pantalaimon
will allow you to explore the various options.
Then launch pantalaimon
as your user. You can then control it through dbus using panctl
.
You should then log in using your regular Matrix client using http://localhost:8009
as your server.
