Does anyone know about an XMPP server that allows anonymous login and is federated?

It would be the source of all spam in 5 seconds.

SouL, I don't think by default in configuration now hosts allowing SASL Anonymous do permit s2s communication

Jappix used to be like that, but now that was shut down, I'm missing someone that provides this service.

In server software

No it wasn't

SouL, anon.jeproteste.info is federated with some servers

(specific ones)

Hmm

I don't want to bother anyone, it's just that I'm setting up a page for people to join a MUC in my server in case someone needs to get in touch with me. And I used to use Jappix for that. I guess I will have to enable anonymous login in my server then

it’s for the best, yeah

a specific anon service for a specific muc service

SouL just enable an anonymous host on your server

I've noticed spammers attempting to use anon.prosody.im a number of times, so keep an eye on accessible anon hosts

Pff, I don't want to set up a subdomain for this

I usually just made "localhost" be an anon host when I deployed this kind of thing.

Yes, if it's a bosh client you could really just do that

The subdomain doesn't really need to be internet routed, you could just setup the host in Prosody or whatever

Without setting any dns record

What would be the configuration for Prosody, then, please?

I'm not sure if I follow you, sorry.

https://prosody.im/doc/anonymous_logins#anonymous_hosts

yeah, that's what I'm doing

but that requires a subdomain 'anon', as in that example

Excuse me?

No it doesn't

You can name the host whatever you want to

It doesn't need to be a routable host either

SouL, the host needs to be routable only if intend to allow s2s traffic

Maranda, but then how do I point to the web client where to connect anonymously?

Well, sorry, maybe this is not the correct place to talk about it. I apologise.

Lol well you tell it... Usually you need to specify the bosh bind host url (being prosody's), the xmpp host etc

And since the host is directly served by your server instance... 🤗

That anonymous host then will be able to access whatever local host served by Prosody
