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 rooms:

  • #archlinux:archlinux.org: A public room for Arch Linux users.
  • #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.

IRC bridges

Our bridge

We bridge several of our private IRC channels on Libera Chat to Matrix, which you need to be invited into:

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

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

Matrix.org bridge

Channels without keys are available via the official Libera Chat bridge. For example:

  • #archlinux-devops:libera.chat: Bridged with #archlinux-devops.
  • #archlinux-projects:libera.chat: Bridged with #archlinux-projects.

Please avoid joining large bridged rooms (such as #archlinux:libera.chat), as these slow down the server immensely.

Libera Chat may require you to have a registered nick to join certain channels. Once @appservice:libera.chat contacts you, tell it !username <username>, then !storepass <password> with the username and the password of your Libera Chat NickServ account. Then !reconnect and it will reconnect you as registered.
