hi, im trying to add the ability to connect over yggdrasil for my self hosted xmpp server, but i already have SRV records in place for my setup (im sshing into a server because im behind a CGNAT). if i add my yggdrasil ip to my existing SRV records, will incoming connections try both the "regular" and the yggdrasil connection or will it only try one? basically trying to make sure i dont break my setup lol. thanks in advance.

If you set priority lower for ygg should be ok I think

alright cool beans, thanks

singpolyma, if there's an A record and an AAAA record, will it try both

Probably but don't count on it

ok unsure individual

jetpackjackson, simply make a subdomain for yggdrasil like ygg.vps.example.com

and put an AAAA record on it

hmm my dns is saying "please enter a valid hostname"

but how do i set that up with the xmpp subdomains like `_xmpp-server._tcp.conference`

look up dns page on prosody

i am

bullshit.x -> vps.x

SRV records look something like this

means "to connect to x domain" connect to vps.x's A or AAAA records

by bullshit i mean smth like _xmpp-server._tcp

ok i added the records

don't have time to look it up

and the AAAA

so you'll just add bullshit.x -> ygg.vps.x or smth

with ygg.vps.x only having a single AAAA record point at the yggdrasil address

yeah

ok how can i test whether it works

i couldn't easily set up yggdrasil on my vps for some reason

maybe ask "based"

alright

he's the one who shilled it to me
