How should I bridge two Twitter accounts?

[Arcsion]

I have two Twitter accounts and I want to manage their messages together.

However, mautrix-twitter’s Twitter Bridge Bot can only login one account ones. So I started thinking whether I could start 2 mautrix-twitter bridges to catch all messages.

I think I’m 90% done: I could login using the second twitter bot, however, I could not receive messages because there’re still some conflicts.

---

Here is how I deploy the second bridge:

Creating the second database

docker exec postgres createdb -U synapse_user -O synapse_user matrix_twitter_s1

Making a new directory and config for new bridge

mkdir mautrix-twitter-s1
docker run --rm -v `pwd`/mautrix-twitter-s1:/data:z dock.mau.dev/mautrix/twitter:latest

In mautrix-twitter-s1/config.yaml (only listing changes)

homeserver:
  address: http://synapse:8008
  domain: example.com

appservice:
address: http://mautrix-twitter-s1:29328

port: 29328

database: postgres://synapse_user:hello@postgres/matrix_twitter_s1?sslmode=disable
  id: twitter-s1
  bot_username: twitterbot-s1
  bot_displayname: Twitter bridge bot s1

bridge:
  username_template: twitter_s1_{userid}
  displayname_template: "{displayname} (Twitter)"

  double_puppet_server_map:
    matrix.server: https://example.com
  login_shared_secret_map:
    example.com: <redacted>

  command_prefix: "!tw1"

  permissions:
    example.com: user
    "@admin:example.com": admin

Register the new bridge

After editing the config, I run

docker run --rm -v `pwd`/mautrix-twitter-s1:/data:z dock.mau.dev/mautrix/twitter:latest

again to get registration.yaml:

id: twitter-s1
as_token: <redacted>
hs_token: <redacted>
namespaces:
    users:
    - exclusive: true
      regex: '@twitter_s1_.*:example\.com'
    - exclusive: true
      regex: '@twitterbot\-s1:example\.com'
    aliases: []
url: http://mautrix-twitter-s1:29328
sender_localpart: <redacted>
rate_limited: false
de.sorunome.msc2409.push_ephemeral: true
push_ephemeral: true

Then I register the bridge to synapse:

cp mautrix-twitter-s1/registration.yaml synapse/tw-s1-registration.yaml
sudo chown 991:991 synapse/tw-s1-registration.yaml

And in synapse/homeserver.yaml:

app_service_config_files:
  - /data/tw-s1-registration.yaml

Start the container

Then I edit the docker-compose.yml, adding lines below. I have already set another bridge by then, so here I show thier config together.

  mautrix-twitter:
    hostname: mautrix-twitter
    container_name: mautrix-twitter
    image: dock.mau.dev/mautrix/twitter:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      synapse:
        condition: service_healthy
    volumes:
      - ./mautrix-twitter:/data
    networks:
      - matrix-net
  mautrix-twitter-s1:
    hostname: mautrix-twitter-s1
    container_name: mautrix-twitter-s1
    image: dock.mau.dev/mautrix/twitter:latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      synapse:
        condition: service_healthy
    volumes:
      - ./mautrix-twitter-s1:/data
    networks:
      - matrix-net

Encounter problems

Then I use docker-compose up -d to start my service, start a chat with @twitterbot-s1:example.com.

I could successfully login:

...but when the brige try to sync msgs, it encounter such problems:

     raise make_request_error(
 mautrix.errors.request.MExclusive: This user ID is reserved by an application service.

I tried to change displayname_template from "{displayname} (Twitter)" to "{displayname} (Twitter-s1)" in order to solve possible conflicts, but problem remains.

Could anyone give me some ideas on how should I solve this? Or, should I attach the configration of my first twitter brige (which works fine)?

Perhaps you've resolved it at this point, but it's probably that the namespaces for the two bridges are overlapping.

If your first bridge uses @twitter_.*:example\.com'', that's going to overlap with @twitter_s1_.*:example\.com'
