XMPP Service Operators - 2021-03-23

Hello Folks!

what is correct naming scheme for DNS configuration?

room/muc/conference? share/proxy?

* room/muc/conference? share/upload/proxy?

raghavgururajan: whatever you want conference is the common one muc is shorter

upload is used more but share has the same meaning

They're not set in stone or XEP, afaik ✏

Licaon_Kter: I see. I was wondering if there is established naming convention for consistency?

Some localize them, eg. `salas` for MUCs in Spanish

Ah.

Maybe others can add their thoughts from the room here and make a top :)

no, you are right, there is no "correct" naming here, you have fullest degree of freedom here

I would recommend against 'conference', as it is too long, and 'muc', as it is to technical though

I see.

I use muck, lol.

chat, proxy and files 🙂

tbf, ideally you don't use a sub-domain for a service whenever possible

I'm using chat.yax.im and upload.yax.im because those seemed to be short and sufficiently clear

As I recordnice most people assoiciate name@domain.tld as email and try to open outlook/thunderbird/... With name@chat.domain.tld they have a break and think about chat 😉 Then additional @conf.domain.tld for muc jm2c

ernst.on.tour: IMHO, it's bettter to just have email = JID

Yeah, but email was first and not every email-provider offers also a xmpp

Have a look at @gmx.net or @web.de, there was xmpp possible up to Dec 2015, then they stop offering it.

Yeah, that's sad. But having two different addresses doesn't make it better

Not better but possible... You may hold your email and just went on to a different JID

It's sad not everybody can have email == xmpp, but I don't see why shall use a subdomain instead of email == jid if I can have it.

Can't you set up the DNS to make that work?

What is the offtopic channel

Martin: thndrbvr yes

You can have it

That's what I do

My email/XMPP/sip address are all the same

Call me on the voip phone =D
