# pushmatrix
Simple selfhosted REST API for sending end to end encrypted push notifications over [Matrix](https://matrix.org) protocol, build with [matrix-nio](https://github.com/poljar/matrix-nio).
It allows to send encrypted messages with simple HTTP request, that you can receive in any Matrix client, like [Element](https://element.io/get-started)
```bash
curl -X POST 127.0.0.1:8571/message \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"message":"Low disk space - 1 GB", "title":"system"}'
```

## Usage
### Start server
```bash
docker run -d \
--name pushmatrix \
-p 8571:8571 \
-e USER_ID="@username:matrix.org" \
-e PASSWORD="password" \
-e RECEIPIENTS="@user1:matrix.org @user2:matrix.org @user3:matrix.org" \
-e ROOM_NAME="pushmatrix" \
-e APP_TOKEN="QOL4OO73EC1DEXE5A2N4" \
bonukai/pushmatrix
```
or with docker compse
```yaml
# docker-compose.yaml
version: "3.7"
services:
pushmatrix:
container_name: pushmatrix
image: bonukai/pushmatrix
ports:
- 8571:8571
environment:
USER_ID: "@username:matrix.org"
PASSWORD: "password"
RECEIPIENTS: "@user1:matrix.org @user2:matrix.org @user3:matrix.org"
ROOM_NAME: "pushmatrix"
APP_TOKEN: "QOL4OO73EC1DEXE5A2N4"
```
```bash
docker-compose up -d
```
If your homeserver supports registration without email adress and captcha, then you can receive notifications from different users for every title.
```bash
docker run -d \
--name pushmatrix \
-p 8571:8571 \
-v ./avatars:/avatars:ro \
-e USER_ID="@username:matrix.org" \
-e PASSWORD="password" \
-e RECEIPIENTS="@user1:matrix.org @user2:matrix.org @user3:matrix.org" \
-e ROOM_NAME="pushmatrix" \
-e APP_TOKEN="QOL4OO73EC1DEXE5A2N4" \
-e NEW_USER_FOR_TITLE="yes" \
bonukai/pushmatrix
```
If your server doesn't support registration of new users, but you have access to the command line, you can still use this feature. Calculate the internal user name for the topics you plan to use. In this example for the topic `doorbell`:
```
echo -n "doorbell" | base64
ZG9vcmJlbGw=
```
The internal username for `doorbell` will be `pushmatrix_ZG9vcmJlbGw=`. You can create this user with the same password that you use for the general pushmatrix user. For Synapse the command looks like this:
```
register_new_matrix_user -u pushmatrix_ZG9vcmJlbGw= -p password -c /data/homeserver.yaml https://matrix.example.org
```
When you use the topic for the first time, pushmatrix will set a more user-friendly displayname for that user - and also an avatar image if you put an appropriately named image into the `avatar/` folder.
