From Rocket.Chat:

To Home Server:

Out to the rest of the federated world - Slack, IRC, and beyond … via matrix.org

NOTE: This project is a work in progress.

Installation

install --save hubot-freddie

Next, you must edit the external-scripts.json file to load Freddie:

.
ubot-freddie"

Home Server Application Service Registration

In the node_modules/hubot-freddie directory:

install
 src/matrix/genASRegFile.js -r -u <URL of hubot-freddie's incoming webhook>

This will generate a rocketchat-registration.yaml file in the same directory.

Copy this file to both your Rocket.Chat server and Synapse Home Server. Note the absolute path(s).

The format of the generated file is somewhat outdated, please add the following line at the top of the Synapse Home Server's copy:

"rocketchat"

On your home server, make sure to add an entry in homeserver.yaml to point to this file:

service_config_files: ["/absolute/path/to/rocketchat-registration.yaml"]

You will also need to configure Freddie for your Rocket.Chat server and Synapse Home sever..
