| Kng | hs_token and as_token doesn't have to persist right, just be the same when running? Is there any mechanic and/or pattern to generate shared secrets to a tempfs or something? | 15:14:04 |
| Kng | rn I just add as/hs_token to services.mautrix-facebook.registrationData | 15:14:59 |

hs_token and as_token doesn't have to persist right, just be the same when running? Is there any mechanic and/or pattern to generate shared secrets to a tempfs or something? you could create a systemd service to generate the registration file in a tmpfs and register it as a dependency of both your application service and your homeserver. This however only works when both are running on the same machine, which is not always the case, so this is done that way in the modules. There is also the issue of the permissions of that registration file… | 04:54:31 |

| piegames | I'm about to write an announcement for the newly added Heisenbridge and Conduit modules fro TWIM. Do you think I could link this room in the post? | 12:21:36 |
 philipp | For it. Discoverability of resources is still a problem in the nix ecosystem, so any bit helps. | 12:56:43 |
| piegames | Nixos deployment
I don't think we've previously had any Nix/NixOS/nixpkgs related entries in TWIM, so I'll start ^^
We now have a module for Heisenbridge and Conduit, which makes it super easy to deploy any of those services: My configuration for Heisenbridge is 21 lines long, and Conduit is only 11 lines. You can browse the available configuration options online: services.matrix-conduit, services.heisenbridge (note that some of them are freeform and simply forward to the upstream configuration).
For support, join our Matrix space at #nix:nixos.org and the Matrix-Nix channel: #matrix-nix:transformierende-gesellschaft.org

For those that are not into NixOS, a module is the code that turns the declarative configuration files into your running system setup. As an example, if you enable services.heisenbridge the following things are done for you:
- Create a new
heisenbridge user and group for the service
- Create and manage the registration file for the homeserver (i.e. automatically regenerate it after the configuration changed)
- Create a systemd service that runs the
heisenbridge command with the requested bridge configuration. The unit also sets a few systemd security hardening options.

Feedback? I think you mentioned the wrong room. The space is #community:nixos.org iirc | 14:03:32 |
| piegames | Oh, fair point. #nix:nixos.org is the general channel then? | 14:09:05 |
| Janne Heß | Yup | 14:09:46 |
| Janne Heß | Also I'd go for We now have a module for Heisenbridge and Conduit → The newly released [NixOS](https://nixos.org) 21.11 has extended Matrix support to also include Conduit and Heisenbridge packages and modules (Synapse and Element have already been supported for some time now). (maybe?) | 14:12:24 |

| piegames | Janne Heß: the modules are on unstable only | 14:23:41 |

Janne Heß: the modules are on unstable only oops | 14:29:32 |
 hexa | we can always backport them | 14:35:57 |
| hexa | they likely won't cause regressions | 14:36:04 |
| piegames | I wouldn't do that for Heisenbridge until the remaining small issues are resolved, so it certainly won't be ready for TWIM tomorrow. | 15:44:04 |
