Support for Dendrite

[Delegator9176]

I tried to install the app along with dendrite but it didn't work.
Any chance that the Mautrix-Framework works with Dendrite, or what do I need to do to get it working?

Thanks in advance :)

Well, I think Dendrite is advanced enough to support it now.

That part of the bridge needs to be overhauled, so that a user may select any synapse or dendrite instance when installing the bridge (for now it asks the synapse instance number):

mautrix_signal_ynh/scripts/install

Lines 40 to 53 in 350f877

	# ToDo check (in manifest?) if the selected synapse instance is not already connected to a mautrix_bridge bridge
	if [ $synapsenumber -eq "1" ]
	then
	synapse_instance="synapse"
	else
	synapse_instance="synapse__$synapsenumber"
	fi
	server_name=$(ynh_app_setting_get --app $synapse_instance --key server_name)
	domain=$(ynh_app_setting_get --app $synapse_instance --key domain)
	mautrix_version=$(ynh_app_upstream_version)
	enable_relaybot=true
	bot_synapse_db_user="@$botname:$server_name"
	synapse_db_name="matrix_$synapse_instance"
	signald_user="signald" # This is actually chosen by the signald dependency

mautrix_signal_ynh/manifest.json

Lines 32 to 44 in 350f877

	"name": "synapsenumber",
	"type": "string",
	"ask": {
	"en": "Choose the local synapse instance number to communicate with mautrix_signal",
	"fr": "Choisissez le numéro de l'instance synapse qui doit communiquer avec mautrix_signal"
	},
	"example": "2 (for instance synapse__2)",
	"help": {
	"en": "If you installed synapse only once time, then leave default value 1.",
	"fr": "Si vous n'avez installé qu'une fois synapse, gardez la valeur par défaut 1."
	},
	"default": "1"
	},

Ideally, we would also upgrade to the new manifest as well.

Then, registration should be adapted according to the docs:

mautrix_signal_ynh/scripts/install

Lines 161 to 168 in 350f877

	ynh_script_progression --message="Registering Synapse app-service" --weight=1
	$final_path/bin/python3 -m mautrix_signal -g -c $final_path/config.yaml -r /etc/matrix-$synapse_instance/app-service/$app.yaml
	/opt/yunohost/matrix-$synapse_instance/update_synapse_for_appservice.sh || ynh_die --message="Synapse can't restart with the appservice configuration"
	chown -R $app:$app "$final_path"
	ynh_store_file_checksum --file="/etc/matrix-$synapse_instance/app-service/$app.yaml"
	ynh_store_file_checksum --file="$final_path/config.yaml"

All in all, not a lot of work, but a lot of testing, especially if we want to get this right and not pile another layer of hacks in the install script.

That would be great. As for testing, I'm happy to support that.
