This is a Matrix bridge for GroupMe

Requirements

You will need to acquire your Access Token from GroupMe.

Get your access token by going to https://dev.groupme.com/ and clicking the "Access Token" link in the top right.

Installation

clone this repo

cd into the directory

run npm install

Configure

Copy config.sample.json to config.json and update it to match your setup

Place the access token and domain name of your homeserver (or IP address) into the accessToken and homeserverURL sections respectively, keeping the " " around them.
The 'registration' setting in the config.json needs to be set to the path of this file. By default, it already is.
You do not need to open any ports to bind port 8090. The bridge does it all automatically.

Register the App Service

Generate an groupme-registration.yaml file with node index.js -r -u "http://localhost:8090"

Enter the username and password of your user on the Matrix server you entered in the config's homeserverURL.

Launching the Bridge

Copy this groupme-registration.yaml file to your home server. Make sure that from the perspective of the homeserver, the url is correctly pointing to your bridge server. e.g. url: 'http://your-bridge-server.example.org:8090' and is reachable.

Edit your homeserver.yaml file and update the app_service_config_files with the path to the groupme-registration.yaml file.

Launch the bridge with node index.js.

Restart your HS.
