.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
is a daemon that acts as a reverse proxy between a Matrix homeserver and a
|
||
|
|
Matrix client. The daemon transparently handles end-to-end encryption tasks on
|
||
|
|
behalf of the client.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
is supposed to run as your own user and listen to connections on a
|
||
|
|
non-privileged port. A client needs to log in using the standard Matrix HTTP
|
||
|
|
calls to register itself to the daemon, such a registered user is called a pan
|
||
|
|
user and will have his own sync loop to keep up with the server. Multiple matrix
|
||
|
|
clients can connect and use the same pan user.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
If user interaction is required
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
will send out OS notifications which the user can react to.
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
also provides a D-Bus API that is used for encryption related tasks that
|
||
|
|
require user interference (e.g. device verification).
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
.Nm
|
||
|
|
requires a homeserver to be configured. Multiple homeservers can be configured,
|
||
|
|
each configured homeserver needs to listen on a separate port. Each homeserver
|
||
|
|
can handle end-to-end encryption for multiple users. The configuration file
|
||
|
|
format is specified in
|
||
|
|
.Xr pantalaimon 5 ,
|
||
|
|
the default location of the configuration file can be found in the
|
||
|
|
.Sx FILES
|
||
|
|
section.
