XMPP Service Operators - 2021-02-11

Good morning, all! mathieui I played with movim a little bit, and I've been looking into sàt recently. The latter looks like the kind of thing I was imagining.

> Probably, or james.tait, or some variation thereof. 😊 jamestait, in fact. I hadn't realised identi.ca was still up.

chunk: what is a good demonstration of pubsub?

Movim?

Hey folks, I'm currently operating a server with about 60 daily active users. I don't have the time any more to maintain it properly. What would you do?

ask people to migrate?

Tim_: you could try to find a new admin for the domain and migrate to the new admin, or you could give the people a sunset interval of a month or something like that to migrate

Tim_, I would broadcast a message warning about the sunsetting

and potentially warn about ownership transfer if you manage to find someone to keep it up

I think I'll sunset, the domains are mine and going to be, so there won't be any more xmpp services there :(

Tim_: well, technically you could keep the domains and use SRV records to host the XMPP wherever.

Some 10% of clients won't be able to connect without SRV, which can be solved with a lean haproxy on the main box

Yeah, thats time I want to spend with my daughter and not something else

Fair enough

Tim_, what kind of users?

friends & family or random people?

Random, it used to be open registration, but I disabled it some times ago

You mean through port 443 Ge0rG ?

Arne: no, :5222 mostly

As someone who has always kept the registrations closed, doesn't keeping the registrations open invite bots/server abuse?

Interesting, thanks pepta.net

I'll check how this can be done with prosody

I currently use the server just for myself, but would be happy to have other genuine users if they are interested

shaarad: yes. Implement captchas or invite-based registrations only. ✏

> Yeah, thats time I want to spend with my daughter and not something else she will enjoy, for sure. Propose users... to move to conversations.im servers ?

pepta.net: thank you, checking

shaarad: Example https://modules.prosody.im/mod_invites Then, there's Prosody MUC for any question related to the software: xmpp:prosody@conference.prosody.im?join ✏

shaarad: did you check snikket.org yet?

Licaon_Kter: oh yes, I know about it haven't used it since I'm already running my server since more than a year

Oh, then https://blog.prosody.im/great-invitations/

Licaon_Kter: are you on the snikket team by any chance?

Nope

Cool!

shaarad, Licaon_Kter:

vasan: hey

vasan: ?

Wow, there's an XMPP server for IETF now

Licaon_Kter: quick question, using mod_invitesis tempting, but would it mean that prosody would start binding to 80 and 443 of my server?

I already have a reverse proxy bound to those ports, if prosody could listen to some different ports, I can forward the invite requests from a subdomain to prosody

shaarad: dunno, do join their MUC

Cool!

shaarad: prosody ports can be changed easily. See the doc (http) from the prosody Website. Standard is port 5280/5281 for http/https but look AT the doc because of reverse proxy spexific options.. https://prosody.im/doc/http

shaarad: IETF has an XMPP server since a very long time, since 2003 early.
