@sumnerevans this feature is not complete.
We need to

1. Help current users migrate / migration script
2. Test for federation (currently via is hard-coded)
3. Discuss the best way to set this in config.yaml
   etc.

Could you review the code and share your feedback?

[sumnerevans]

Thanks for working on this! Generally seems pretty good. Looks like there's some TODOs still around config that also need to be addressed.

[sumnerevans]

This needs to be the bridge's homeserver URL

[clmnin]

Yup. Should have fixed that when this commit was pushed.

From MSC 1772

via key which gives a list of candidate servers that can be used to join the room

It means these servers will be used to bootstrap the join request (permalink to comment in spaces:riot.ovh)

The bridge's homeserver should be part of via - yes. Should we include the user's homeserver too if it is different from the bridge's homeserver? @HelderFSFerreira we'll try testing this on a federated instance.

[HelderFSFerreira]

I've added the bridge home server as the value of the via.
Are we sure that we want to have the client's home server in there too?

[sumnerevans]

As far as how to add to the config, I'd just do something like: bridge.create_space_per_user or something. Might have to think a bit about how to best make that work with multi-tenant bridges.

I think it may make sense to something like what the ResendBridgeInfo function does for when the user enables space creation when it was previously disabled/unspecified.

[clmnin]

ResendBridgeInfo is a good option to let a user migrate to spaces. Will explore that 👍🏻

So migration will be

1. bridge.create_space_per_user
2. resend_bridge_info

New users can just set

1. bridge.create_space_per_user
