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.
