Awesome

this is a simple maubot plugin which interacts with a matrix-registration deployment and generates invite tokens.

NOTICE: this bot depends on Maubot engine and matrix-registration. it does not work with synapse's native registration tokens. reasons you may still prefer this project:

1. you already have set up maubot
2. you already have set up matrix-registration
3. this bot only requires administrative access to matrix-registration, whereas the ability to generate synapse registration tokens would require the bot to be a server administrator

if you would prefer to use native synapse registration tokens, please check out matrix-registration-bot, an unrelated but similar project which is a standalone bot (no maubot engine).

usage

modify the config to point to your matrix-registration url, include your admin secret to authenticate, and ensure that you're in the list of approved users.

please note that matrix-registration versions BELOW 0.9.0 have different API endpoints, expected date structures, json arguments, etc. and require the legacy_mr value in your config to be set to True! If your matrix-registration instance is 0.9.0 or greater, leave this as false.

once your bot is running, simply use the command

!invite generate

to generate a token with some generic text you can copy-paste when sharing it with your invitee!

to check the status of a specific token, use

!invite status MyTokenName

and similarly to list all tokens in the database, use

!invite list

to revoke a token, use

!invite revoke MyTokenName
