Serve skin customizations for modular.im Matrix instance
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

The Riot instance included with modular.im fetches some custom content from configurable URLs:

  • the logo
  • content for the welcome page (shown before login)
  • an image for the welcome page
  • content for the home page (shown after login)

These need to be created, and made available. Maybe on Wikimedia Cloud or people.wikimedia.org. (Not sure if there are security implications or the content gets sanitized somehow before displayed in the user's browser. For the purpose of the test we won't have anything sensitive on modular.im anyway.) They need CORS accept headers set so the client running at wikimedia.riot.im can load them.

I have verified that customizing the skin works, despite the Modular.im management interface claiming it doesn't (need to make a bug report about that).

The custom welcome snippet is served from https://people.wikimedia.org/~tgr/matrix/welcome.html for the time being (and can be tracked via https://github.com/tgr/wikimedia-matrix-customizations ). If that gets annoying it can be moved to a more collaborative location, but I doubt it will need to be changed often (probably just once when T230532: Write documentation about the Matrix trial itself is done).

The home page does not exist by default (it adds an extra landing page + menu item, like shown here), there did not seem much point in adding one. (KDE's homepage, for reference.)
The background image could be replaced if someone has suggestions for a good Wikimedia-specific one but I couldn't think of any; the default one looks nice anyway.
