Rainbow 🌈 Bridge

Simple relay bot for Libpurple chats using D-Bus with Pidgin/Finch

Orginally created as a replacement for maliciously deprecated P2P chatrooms on Skype [1], but should work for most of the protocols supported by Libpurple, that is AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, Jabber/XMPP, MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, Bonjour, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Lotus Sametime, SILC, SIMPLE, MXit, Zephyr [2] and even more with plugins [3]. You can start it on console, if you use Finch instead of Pidgin to run your Libpurple instance for the chatrooms you want to bridge.

See test.sh for some installation instructions/ideas and use config-example to give it a quick test run. Here are some real world examples of config files.

Requirements:

• libpurple
• pydbus

Tested with:

• IRC
• Telegram
• Skype
• Facebook

Tested on:

• Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (xenial)
• Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)

rainbow-bridge's Issues

Support for Telegram and XMPP?

First of all: This bot is amazing, i was looking for something like this for a "long" time ;)

I had the idea to connect some Skype and Telegram rooms together, since many i know use only Telegram "or" Skype but not both at the same time. There are also some that only use XMPP so it would be nice to get them together again.
I tried to connect this kind of rooms but the script could not find the messages so it seems.

echo happened in facebook-irc bridge

The process like below:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx said: message /// 62546 2 531
xxx >>> "<A> message"
MyBOT said: message /// 95879 1 571
62546 >>> "<MyBOT> message"
[email protected] said: <MyBOT> message /// 62546 1 531

'A' send a message in facebook chat
and my bot echo "<MyBOT>message" to facebook

and I figure out the problem is
purple.PurpleConvChatGetNick(purple.PurpleConversationGetChatData(conv))
well return a string that chars are lower case.
so....
chat[conv]["nick"] != sender
will execute : mybot != MyBOT
