If I were to change my SRV records to remove the chat.* part of my JID, would any of my users need to do anything different, other than point themselves at seantodd.co.uk?
-
Ge0rG
seantodd: they would change their JIDs to the new domain, reconfigure their clients and lose their rosters.
-
seantodd
Ge0rG: so it would be the same as starting over?
-
Ge0rG
yeah, basically
-
Ge0rG
seantodd: I didn't realize you have a user base when I made that proposal. Sorry :)
-
seantodd
It's a userbase of 2. :)
-
seantodd
Ge0rG: well, 2 other users.
-
Ge0rG
Oh, then it depends on the cumulative roster size and anticipated effort. I wish https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0283.html was better suited.
-
seantodd
Excellent. I've been considering wiping my instance and starting over, this might be a good reason to do so.
-
Ge0rG
seantodd: sounds like it.
-
Ge0rG
seantodd: another caveat: some networks don't properly resolve SRV, and then your client will fall back to the regular A record
-
MattJ
Yeah, that's why Prosody warns you now if it detects a "chat." or "xmpp." subdomain, so you can fix it early
-
Ge0rG
what about "jabber."?
-
seantodd
Ge0rG: Good to know. I'll err on the side of pretty(& short) JIDs.
-
Ge0rG
seantodd: some clients (*cough*yaxim*cough*) will not re-try resolving SRV, so if it fails on first attempt, only killing the client will fix it again
-
seantodd
Ge0rG: Hmm. The only clients that are currently using my instance are gajim, conversations and converse.js (via bosh).
-
Ge0rG
seantodd: should be fine then
-
seantodd
Do you run your instances for fun? Or is it part of your job? Or a bit of both?
- Ge0rG is running a private server for a decade now, and a public one for yaxim users, as a hobby
-
Ge0rG
the latter since 2013
-
seantodd
Damn. Thats a long time. Do you have a preferred server, like ejabberd/prosody?
-
Ge0rG
Yes, I do.
-
seantodd
:D Do you mind sharing it, or would you rather not?
-
Ge0rG
seantodd: it's highly subjective, so it might not apply to anybody else but a grumpy cynical old-school nerd.
-
seantodd
Ge0rG: Ah, that's fine.
-
Ge0rG
seantodd: what I can tell you is: - prosody has an awesome framework for spam blocking and filtering. it's like iptables for spam messages - ejabberd has a faster and more all-in-one development process, where you get all the modern features from the main package already, without needing to rely on third-party modules
-
seantodd
Ge0rG: That's exactly the sort of anecdotal evidence I was going for! Thanks.
-
Ge0rG
seantodd: if you want a one-click install for a mobile-client friendly small-scale installation and you are not a victim of xmpp spam, ejabberd is probably the more robust solution
