riot-web (Riot.im for web)
Riot (formerly known as Vector) is a Matrix web client built using the Matrix
protocol.
Riot gathers all your conversations and app integrations (e.g. GitHub, Slack)
into one single app.
Built around group chatrooms, Riot lets you share messages, images, videos
and files - interact with your tools and access all your different communities
under one roof.
Another great feature of Riot/Matrix is the federated or decentralised structure.
Everyone can set up a Matrix server to serve rooms and users can communicate with
other users on other Matrix servers around the World.
Now with end-to-end encryption using the Olm and Megolm cryptographic ratchets
, and ensuring that only explicitly authorized devices can participate in a
conversation.
This is a packaging of the pre-built released version of Riot (on Github).
Riot-web now is needed to run under a web server(e.g. NGINX).
After building, a start script (in /usr/bin) is set to invoke a simple
web server (a Python built-in module) listening at port 8000, and then start a
web browser to access it at localhost:8000. Feel free to change these
settings.
Type your favourite browser name before running this script, e.g.
BROWSER=firefox ./riot-web.Slackbuild
