The dev environment previously hardcoded Synapse (bundled with Postgres
and Element Web) in a monolithic etc/services/core/ directory.
With Continuwuity now available as a lighter alternative (no external DB),
this refactors the service layout so developers choose their homeserver
once and everything derives from that choice. Continuwuity is the new
default for its smaller footprint.
Key changes:
- Break etc/services/core/ into etc/services/synapse/ and
etc/services/element-web/, each with their own compose.yml
- Add `homeserver` variable in justfile (reads var/homeserver,
defaults to continuwuity)
- Add `homeserver-init` recipe to persist the choice
- Use placeholders (__HOMESERVER_SERVER_NAME__, __HOMESERVER_URL__,
__HOMESERVER_CLIENT_URL__) in config templates, resolved at
prepare time based on the chosen homeserver
- Make services-start/stop/prepare/tail-logs delegate to the chosen
homeserver's recipes + element-web
- Make users-prepare delegate to {homeserver}-users-prepare
- Update docs/development.md for the new homeserver choice flow

baibot
🤖 baibot is an AI (Large Language Model) bot for Matrix built by etke.cc (managed Matrix servers).
The name is pronounced 'bye'-bot and is a play on AI, referencing the fictional character 🇧🇬 Bai Ganyo.
It's designed as a more private and featureful alternative to matrix-chatgpt-bot. It's influenced by chaz, but does not use the AIChat CLI tool and instead does everything in-process, without forking.
🌟 Features
-
🎨 Encourages provider choice (Anthropic, Groq, LocalAI, OpenAI and ☁️ many more) as well as mixing & matching models:
-
Supports different use purposes (depending on the ☁️ provider & model):
- 💬 text-generation: communicating with you via text (though certain models may "see" images as well). The OpenAI provider also supports 🛠️ built-in tools (web search, code interpreter)
- 🦻 speech-to-text: turning your voice messages into text
- 🗣️ text-to-speech: turning bot or users text messages into voice messages
- 🖌️ image-generation: creating and editing images based on instructions
-
🪄 Supports seamless voice interaction (turning user voice messages into text, answering in text, then turning that text back into voice)
-
🦻 Supports transcribe-only mode (turning user voice messages into text, without doing text-generation)
-
🗣️ Supports text-to-speech-only mode (turning user text messages into voice, without doing text-generation)
-
🔒 Supports encryption for Matrix communication and Account-Data-stored configuration
-
♻️ Supports context-management handling on some models (automatically adjusting the message history length, etc.)
-
🛠️ Allows customizing much of the bot's configuration at runtime (using commands sent via chat)
-
👥 Actively maintained by the team at etke.cc
