Hotpocket is a room management daemon for matrix, which allows homeserver operators to more effectively deal with unwanted content.
### Todo
- [x] Logo (very important)
- [ ] Documentation. Everything changed needs lookover
- [x] config.d
- [x] Policy querying
- [x] Basic Actions
- [ ] Advanced Actions (archiving, audit log)
- [ ] Audit log. This *was* implemented but everything got rewritten
- [ ] Mjolnir forwarding
### Faq
#### Why?
Existing tools like Mjolnir do not implement `m.policy.rule.room`, meaning room management through Mjolnir is tedious and inefficient. Additionally, Mjolnir can only act on one homeserver at a time, meaning homeserver operators can't effectively crowd-source homeserver moderation.
#### Why in bash?
Hotpocket is intended to be easily deployable, with as few dependencies as possible. Shell scripts are not only highly portable, but easily auditable.
#### Is this more complicated than Mjolnir?
The only effective difference between Mjolnir's room management and Hotpocket, is that hotpocket requires all policies to be signed by a trusted public key.
If you're running your own homeserver, the small jump in complexity shouldn't be an issue.
#### Can I use this with my EMS homeserver?
If you want to run hotpocket on a MaaS provider, you will need access to `/_synapse` and a server to install hotpocket to.
As `/_synapse` will be exposed to the internet, this is not considered a secure configuration. If possible, you should migrate to hosting your matrix homeserver yourself.
