I remember chatting about this with @hellcp the other day but we did not reach a conclusion regarding hookshot. Something went awry with updates.

I imagine. Those NodeJS apps can be such a pain, at times.

Another thing I noticed, is this normal?

Hookshot is used for various channels with rss feeds like #mastodon:opensuse.org

Great, that's good to know. Personally I never used Mastodon, nor stopped by such channels before.

BTW, how are we updating things over there, more specifically that particular bridge?

P.S.: I spoke too soon. From Bash history, I see sudo -u synapse yarn run build and sudo -u synapse npm run build, I suppose that's run under /var/lib/matrix-synapse/hookshot after doing sudo -u synapse git foo.

It's not normal, but I couldn't quite figure out what the issue is by inspecting /etc/nftables.conf on scar.i.o.o. Other hosts in the network are allowed ICMP/to ping just fine. But I couldn't notice it causing any issues with the applications on matrix.i.o.o either.

From Bash history, I see sudo -u synapse yarn run build and sudo -u synapse npm run build, I suppose that's run under /var/lib/matrix-synapse/hookshot after doing sudo -u synapse git foo.

That was just me debugging what is usually executed by Salt, sorry for the confusion.

OK. I'm not sure it causes any issue with the app either.

Thanks for the clarification.

I believe I was able to hopefully fix the Hookshot bridge by using (probably) unorthodox means, with my limited NPM/Yarn skills.

Since rss-parser wasn't installed, which by the way is odd because if I got this right:

matrix (matrix.o.o):/var/lib/matrix-synapse/hookshot # grep -n rss-parser node_modules/.yarn-integrity
./node_modules/.yarn-integrity:59:    "rss-parser@^3.12.0",                                                               
./node_modules/.yarn-integrity:921:    "rss-parser@^3.12.0": "https://registry.yarnpkg.com/rss-parser/-/rss-parser-3.12.0.
tgz#b8888699ea46304a74363fbd8144671b2997984c",

Does that means that at some point it was installed, somehow?! I can't say.

$ yarn help | grep integrity
    --skip-integrity-check              run install without checking if node_modules is installed

So, what did I do? First I added rss-parser with Yarn:

matrix (matrix.o.o):/var/lib/matrix-synapse/hookshot # sudo -u synapse yarn add rss-parser

This recompiled all the Node modules successfully, but failed with:

...
$ tsc --project tsconfig.json                                     
error TS5109: Option 'moduleResolution' must be set to 'node16' (or left unspecified) when option 'module' is set to 'node16'.

So I edited tsconfig.json:

diff --git a/tsconfig.json b/tsconfig.json
index 7d9a92a..839c386 100644
--- a/tsconfig.json
+++ b/tsconfig.json

+    "moduleResolution": "NodeNext",
     "incremental": true,
     "declaration": false,
     "outDir": "./lib",

And tried that failed step again with:

matrix (matrix.o.o):/var/lib/matrix-synapse/hookshot # sudo -u synapse yarn run tsc --project tsconfig.json               
yarn run v1.22.19                                                                                                         
$ /data/var/lib/matrix-synapse/hookshot/node_modules/.bin/tsc --project tsconfig.json                                     
Done in 10.42s.

And then I restarted the hookshot.service. It seems fine:

About whether we need to report something to upstream. I'm just not sure.
