Rocket.Chat to Matrix Migration Script

Drafts and more. This is a work in progress!

Exporting RC data

Currently manually via mongodb. Run the following on the server:

mongoexport --collection=rocketchat_message --db=rocketchat --out=rocketchat_message.json
mongoexport --collection=rocketchat_room --db=rocketchat --out=rocketchat_room.json
mongoexport --collection=users --db=rocketchat --out=users.json

Export them to inputs/

Running the Matrix Dev Server

docker-compose run --rm -e SYNAPSE_SERVER_NAME=my.matrix.host -e SYNAPSE_REPORT_STATS=no synapse generate

To run the script without hitting rate limiting, you SHOULD add the following options to the freshly generated files/homeserver.yaml. Do not leave these in the production setup!

rc_joins:
  local:
    per_second: 1024
    burst_count: 2048
rc_joins_per_room:
  per_second: 1024
  burst_count: 2048
rc_message:
  per_second: 1024
  burst_count: 2048
rc_invites:
  per_room:
    per_second: 1024
    burst_count: 2048
  per_user:
    per_second: 1024
    burst_count: 2048
  per_issuer:
    per_second: 1024
    burst_count: 2048

Continue setting up the server:

docker-compose up -d
# Wait for the Server to boot, then register an admin user
docker-compose exec -it synapse register_new_matrix_user http://localhost:8008 -c /data/homeserver.yaml --admin --user verdiadmin --password verdiadmin

Then you can access the homeserver in Element Web or the local admin interface as http://localhost:8008 with the verdiadmin as username AND password.

Store an access token for that user:

curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8008/_matrix/client/v3/login \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{"type": "m.login.password","user": "verdiadmin","password": "verdiadmin","device_id": "DEV"}' \
> src/config/synapse_access_token.json

To finally run the script, execute it via npm start.

Configuration

Copy over .env.example to .env and insert your values.

Running Tests

npm test.

Cleaning Up

To clean up the Synapse server and local storage database, run

docker-compose down
sudo rm files/homeserver.db
rm db.sqlite

Then you can restart with an empty but quite equal server, following the instructions above, excluding the generate command.

Design Decisions

Getting data from Rocket.Chat via (currently) manual mongodb export
Room to Channel conversion:
- Read-only attributes of 2 verdigado channels not converted to power levels due to complexity
