Mel: Pong from hyena.network in 2.399 seconds

I know this is the wrong channel but I think I have a bad version of hypomania and I need to know what Jabber opers do to avoid their mental health affecting how their server is administered

Ellenor Malik: hypowhat?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypomania

Right so, did you setup your server to handle Audio/Video calls either for Jitsi Meet or Conversations (or both) already? Gotta put all that excitement to good use ;) ✏

It's not good excitement Licaon_Kter

It's bad excitement

Like i want to kill *@*

Yes, but _"The flame that burns Twice as bright burns half as long."_ so we gotta use you now.

The flame that burns twice as bright returns to sanity in half the time Licaon_Kter

Mel: Fancy seeing you here

Licaon_Kter: I just need to let my system rebalance i think

Ellenor Malik: `apt-cache balance`

`apt-cache: commande non trouvé(e)`

`did you try: fuckoff amounts of chamomile tea?`

I made a thing: https://observe.jabber.network/ Feedback and other requests welcome.

(also announced in more detail on the mailing list)

:D To get a good balance of test systems, we are currently especially (but not exclusively) looking for accounts which fulfill one or more of the following criteria: Not hosted on a Prosody 0.11.x server. Hosted on a server outside of Germany.

looks awesome btw

Anyone here running prosody and succeeded adding the well-known thingy to the-federation.info? It seems it doesn't like the port 5281 and I have to somehow rewrite this with nginx to hide the port. I tried a lot of stuff there with rewrite rules and even proxy_pass to the prosody http but I didn't succeed. So I'd appreciate if someone could show me his rules.

Link Mauve: I saw jabberfr.org there so maybe you can help me. :D

jonas’: I still had on my todo to ask you whether you plan some public monitoring after I saw some debugging between you and Ge0rG :D

Martin, hi, author of the module here.

Martin, so yes, the-federation.info being web-centric, there is no port but port 443 which exists.

So you indeed have to proxy from nginx if that’s what you use as a web server.

Don’t use port 5281, it would do TLS between Prosody and nginx, instead use port 5280.

I’m not even sure if nginx can proxy over TLS.

Debug it with curl first, on port 5280 on localhost, to see if you’re getting what you’re expecting.

Oh, and make sure the Host HTTP header is correctly transmitted by nginx.

Ok, I can access it online on 5281 but `curl localhost:5280/.well-known/x-nodeinfo2` gives me a funny prosody http 404

While https://mdosch.de:5281/.well-known/x-nodeinfo2 works

Martin: all web things should be fixed!

I agree

And out of the sudden it works. https://mdosch.de/.well-known/x-nodeinfo2 Why?

:D

Why no country flag for me? They just cyclic run geoiplookup or whatever they do? https://the-federation.info/prosody

And why is there only one ejabberd participating? https://the-federation.info/ejabberd

@version jabber.gnupg.org

Maranda: jabber.gnupg.org is running Prosody version 0.11.2 on Linux

@version enotty.dk

Maranda: enotty.dk is running Prosody version 0.11.5 on Linux

Martin, when I told you about the Host HTTP header, note how it’s been different in your two requests.

http://localhost:5280/… it’s localhost, and https://mdosch.de:5281/ it’s mdosch.de.

These are different to Prosody.

Prosody will (by default) only serve stuff for VirtualHosts it knows.

Martin, also if you want to fix the-federation.info, please do so. :)

It will help future people.

> Debug it with curl first, on port 5280 on localhost, to see if you’re getting what you’re expecting. That's why I checked localhost 😃

I should have said from localhost, sorry. ^^'

As in, on the same computer as Prosody.

Link Mauve: I can not fix, I can only complain to fix it 😁

Please do so then!

Will do

They might just be unaware that other ports than 443 exist.

Maybe they also know about port 80 and know it must die. 😃

“15:26:09 Martin> And why is there only one ejabberd participating?”, probably because there is no ready-made module for Ejabberd.

Then I have to approach j.r. to upstream it. 😃

> “15:26:09 Martin> And why is there only one ejabberd participating?”, probably because there is no ready-made module for Ejabberd. He said he uses an ugly python script which fetches the data from pgsql so probably nothing for upstream.

Thanks. :)
