NAME

       pantalaimon — End-to-end encryption aware Matrix reverse proxy daemon.

SYNOPSIS

       pantalaimon [-c config] [--log-level level] [--data-path path] [--version] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

       pantalaimon is a daemon that acts as a reverse proxy between a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix client. The
       daemon transparently handles end-to-end encryption tasks on behalf of the client.

       pantalaimon  is  supposed  to  run as your own user and listen to connections on a non-privileged port. A
       client needs to log in using the standard Matrix HTTP calls to register itself  to  the  daemon,  such  a
       registered  user  is  called  a  pan  user  and  will have it's own sync loop to keep up with the server.
       Multiple matrix clients can connect and use the same pan user.

       If user interaction is required pantalaimon will send out OS notifications which the user can  react  to.
       pantalaimon  also  provides  a  D-Bus  API  that  is  used for encryption related tasks that require user
       interference (e.g. device verification).

       pantalaimon requires a homeserver  to  be  configured.  Multiple  homeservers  can  be  configured,  each
       configured  homeserver  needs  to  listen  on  a  separate  port.  Each  homeserver can handle end-to-end
       encryption for multiple users. The configuration file format is specified in pantalaimon(5), the  default
       location of the configuration file can be found in the “FILES” section.

   Options
       The command line flags to change the behaviour of pantalaimon are as follows:

       -c, --config file
               Use the supplied file as the configuration file instead of the default one.

       --log-level level
               Set the log level of the daemon, can be one of error, warning, info, debug.  Defaults to warning.

       --data-path path
               Set  the directory for the pantalaimon database. This config option takes precedence over the XDG
               environment variables.

       --version
               Display the version number and exit.

       --help  Display the help and exit.

FILES

       pantalaimon supports the XDG Base Directory Specification, the default locations can be overridden  using
       appropriate environment variables.

       ~/.config/pantalaimon/pantalaimon.conf
           Default  location  of  the  configuration file.  The format of the configuration file is described in
           pantalaimon(5).

       ~/.local/share/pantalaimon/pan.db
           Default location of the pantalaimon database.  This file is used to store a sqlite  database  holding
           daemon state and encryption keys.

EXIT STATUS

       The pantalaimon utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
