Dimension Docker

This repository contains a Docker image for Dimension.

Overview

Dimension is "an open source integrations manager for matrix clients, like Riot".

Visit the Dimension website and GitHub repo for more information.

Quickstart

docker run -d -p 8184:8184 -e HOME_NAME=my.matrix.domain -e ADMIN_LIST=@me:my.matrix.domain kapdap/matrix-dimension

A production.yaml and admin token are generated on every run. Use a volume to persists these values.

docker run -d -p 8184:8184 -e HOME_NAME=my.matrix.domain -e ADMIN_LIST=@me:my.matrix.domain -v /path/to/config:/app/config kapdap/matrix-dimension

The admin token is printed to console log whenever a new one is generated. Set the environment variable HOME_ACCESS_TOKEN=secret-token or HOME_ACCESS_TOKEN_FILE=/run/secrets/token to use a fixed secret.

Configuration

See default.yaml on the Dimension GitHub repo for a full explaination of the configuration values.

This image can be configured using environment variables or by providing a production.yaml file at /app/config/production.yaml.

Setting GENERATE_CONFIG=true will overwrite an existing production.yaml. This is useful if you want to provide a volume and keep production.yaml updated using env vars. production.yaml will always be generated if one cannot be found.

See env.sample for a full list of configurable environment variables.

Note: The production.yaml file name is set from the NODE_ENV environment variable.

Admin Access Token

If HOME_ACCESS_TOKEN_FILE and HOME_ACCESS_TOKEN are unset a new token will be generated and saved to /app/config/secret. Tokens can be retreived from docker logs whenever a new one is generated.

docker logs -f <container-id>
Generating config /app/config/production.yaml
HOME_ACCESS_TOKEN_FILE and HOME_ACCESS_TOKEN are unset. A random access token will be generated and saved to /app/config/secret.
Provide a docker volume to persist this token across restarts. Tokens are printed to the console each time they are generated.

Tokens are used only when a new production.yaml is generated or GENERATE_CONFIG=true.

Finally, remember to set the ADMIN_LIST value to your Matrix Admin ID e.g. @bob:my.matrix.domain,@jane:my.matrix.domain.
