Switched from a web based registration form to an invite based approach for my pimux.de XMPP server.

And I have to say: The registration page looks nice and provides useful suggestions for clients.

#XMPP #Prosody

#YunoHost devs are testing #Prosody as #xmpp #jabber replacement for metronome to get better integration with the system and better compliance with jabber standards. Also new default features as A/V calls.

It's on early development, without ETA!!

great news IMO 👌

thank you 🙏 🧙

pretty much the best messenger around!

I've been using it (and #prosody) to connect all my family over my personal server for a decade now.

And there's no company involved that can read our chats or store our photos.

I set up #Prosody last weekend, and I haven't checked file uploads yet. The setup was incredibly simple, and resource usage is next to nothing. Added #Biboumi to make it function as my #IRC bouncer too, and it works like a charm!

This leads me to believe that even the current state of XMPP is already beats Matrix by a wide margin. Its easier, less resource hungry, faster, and there are already multiple good server and client implementations available.

Probably #Prosody has some problems related to Message Archive Management (including MUCs), my #XMPP server is facing some issues and downtime...

But I am confident I can improve or even fix this 🙂 My monitoring already alerted me a few times but a friendly user told me about the issues, too. That shows me this is a serious problem and I have to do something!

In case anyone is wondering about how to "update" a valid certificate from #letsencrypt that for some reason #prosody states is already expired, just run:

prosodyctl --root cert import /etc/letsencrypt/live

Assuming you have a valid certificate in place already configured for your domain. Saved me some headache!

#xmpp #selfhost

I want to enable file uploads on my #XMPP server. (XEP-0363). I'm running #prosody. The docs say "The domain specified in your Component line should ideally be a direct subdomain of your VirtualHost."

Does this mean I cannot use the same domain as my VirtualHost for this? So if my server runs on im.skelly.boo, uploads would have to be on a subdomain for that or a different subdomain entirely?

🤔

We had a great time at #FOSDEM! If you came to see @mattj and @zash from the Prosody team at the Real-time Lounge area, it was nice to meet you! If not, maybe we'll catch you next year :)

As well as @mattj's talk about FAST auth in Prosody, also check out Saúl's talk about how the #Jitsi team used #Prosody and #XMPP to scale video conferences to over 10000 participants. The recording is now online: fosdem.org/2023/schedule/event…

utterly failing at setting up my #prosody #XMPP-Server with mod_http_file_share

serverfault.com/questions/1120…

response on 5281 looks fine in browser, certs are okay-ish, but upload never starts

no documentation apart from prosody-page about that module

great. -.-

Prosody never calls http_file_share

I've tried to set up my prosody xmpp-server (more exactly: I migrated from a different machine with some really outdated version) Most stuff works fine. Apart from mod_http_file_share that is. If I...

^{Server Fault}

This evening I pushed a #Prosody community module that acts as a #UnifiedPush server. It allows apps on your phone to receive push notifications, using #XMPP as the delivery channel instead of Google's proprietary FCM or regular polling.

It uses a protocol devised and implemented by @daniel and all credit goes to him for this idea and first implementations.

It's all experimental stuff, but I'm already using it to get realtime notifications in #Fedilab 🙂

#jabber #standards

Small prosodyctl shell improvements, XEP-0440, watchdog API tweaks, updates for OpenSSL API changes and some new cryptographic hash functions.

June was probably not the most active month in #Prosody trunk #dev but that's to be expected since there was a release from the stable branch.
