Matterbridge

Matterbridge is open-source communication software for Linux that connects conversations across different messaging and chat services. It is designed to bridge messages between services such as Mattermost, IRC, Gitter, XMPP, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Rocket.Chat, Steam, Twitch, SSH-chat, Zulip, WhatsApp, Keybase, Matrix, and Microsoft Teams. Mattermost is not required for using the bridge, and the software also provides a REST API.

The software belongs to the Communication category because its primary purpose is linking separate chat networks. It can be configured to work with the supported services so that communication can pass between otherwise separate platforms. The range of supported services makes it relevant to users who manage conversations across multiple systems.

Matterbridge is provided for Linux as an unofficial snap package. The snap is strictly confined and has the network and network-bind interfaces connected, which suits installations on a Raspberry Pi or another small device. Its configuration file, matterbridge.toml, should be placed in /var/snap/matterbridge/common.

MirrorNest mirrors the official build directly to its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing it. This distribution setup gives Linux users a catalog copy of the package while preserving its open-source licensing. Upstream documentation is available through the Matterbridge project wiki on GitHub.
