Matrix

We offer a Matrix homeserver for Arch team members. Matrix is a federated communication service with a variety of available clients for multiple platforms, mobile included. The flagship Element clients offer us file upload, end-to-end encryption, push notifications and integrations with third-party services.

Signing in

For the initial sign-in you need to use a client that supports OpenID Single-Sign-On, such as Element Web. Enter @username:archlinux.org as the username and Element should offer to sign into our homeserver.

You will be automatically invited to several spaces and rooms:

  • #public-space:archlinux.org: A public space for Arch Linux users.
    • #archlinux:archlinux.org: A public room for Arch Linux users.
  • #staff-space:archlinux.org: A staff-only space for Arch Linux staff.
    • #internal:archlinux.org: A staff-only room with end-to-end encryption.

Password login is currently disabled, which might exclude some clients. It can be re-enabled should demand exist.

If you need to provide your client with a homeserver address, use https://matrix.archlinux.org.

Our rooms bridged to IRC

We bridge several of our private IRC channels on Libera.Chat to Matrix.

These rooms are open to all staff-space members:

  • #packaging:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-packaging.
  • #staff:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-staff.

The following rooms are not open to all staff, so you need to be invited:

  • #developers:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-dev.
  • #trusted-users:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-tu.

Please request an invitation in #internal:archlinux.org for the rooms you need to be in.

These rooms are bridged to public channels, for which you should log into Libera.Chat via SASL:

  • #aurweb:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-aurweb.
  • #bugs:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-bugs.
  • #devops:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-devops.
  • #pacman:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-pacman.
  • #projects:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-projects.
  • #reproducible:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-reproducible.
  • #security:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-security.
  • #testing:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-testing.
  • #wiki:archlinux.org: Bridged with #archlinux-wiki.

If you fail to do so, your bridged IRC user cannot join the channels, meaning your messages won't be bridged. See Libera.Chat's guide on how to register a nickname. Afterwards, contact @irc-bridge:archlinux.org and send it the folllowing commands:

  • !username <username>, with the primary nickname you registered with, then
  • !storepass <password>, with your password for NickServ, and then
  • !reconnect to reconnect and attempt the SASL login.

If this worked, @liberachat_SaslServ:archlinux.org should contact you after the reconnect.
