XMPP Service Operators - 2022-04-06

Hello, I use YUNO Host to self-host. YUNO Host has a built-in XMPP server. I have never really used XMPP before, and I have few questions.

How does XMPP works? Are all the messages stored on the server, or are they deleted when the other person receives the messages?

asdeea: stored and forwarded, yes Deleted? Might depend on setup. They might not, unless you setup them to be, say after some days.

I want to use XMPP, but at the same time I don't want it to consume all the available free space on my server, only a few GBs are left.

Depends on how many users you'll have, messages don't use that much space.

Files might use up more, but say 10Gb might cover 30 days for 20 users, if you limit upload size to 100Mb. From experience.

Is there a way to delete files, messages, etc from the server?

> How can I change the setup? Yunohost uses Metronome, right? Maybe Maranda can point you to some manual. > I'm the only user on my server. So even less space used. Do get some friends over...so you're not lonely :)

Imagine needing friends. Pathetic normie.

> Is there a way to delete files You can delete them manually too, but maybe your server has some fancy setup to autodelete after a while. > messages, etc from the server? This needs some commands, again, see manual

Ksenia: ಠ_ಠ

> Is there a way to delete files, messages, etc from the server? Depends on your server software. Use a search engine. 🐒

YUNO Host is based on Debian 10

asdeea: that's the OS

Which manual am I searching for?

The xmpp server software is some version of Metronome

Eg. https://github.com/maranda/metronome

You'd first need to find out which version exactly, it's helpful.

v 3.14.5 of Metronome

It says Prosody here: https://yunohost.org/en/apps?q=%2Fapps But you know what you've installed :)

Prosody is an app which you can install, Metronome comes by default with YUNO Host

> Prosody is an app which you can install, Metronome comes by default with YUNO Host Prosody is an app? 😂

Oh, was reading as "everything" is an app but whatever :))

asdeea: start here https://metronome.im/documentation

Thanks!

Do not feed autists.

also, another question is it possible to storage data in IPFS compatible with XMPP server?

Compatible in what way?

i mean as regularly XMPP host works, showing message history/media/vcards and another data

asdeea: by default in YuNoHost Metronome uses the LDAP storage for most things

So there's not much files laying around you can wipe

Maranda: but the server can clean by itself?

> i mean as regularly XMPP host works, showing message history/media/vcards and another data XMPP requires the server to send that data. The server can use IPFS as a backend, of course.

What do you intend to gain with that?

Licaon_Kter: yes

> Maranda: but the server can clean by itself? Yes. It is not autistic.

Ksenia, what do you have all the time with autists/autistic?

ij: Are you one?

Ksenia: Autism is offtopic, please stop.

Martin: Kill yourself.

Banned

Thx

thank you

thx

hmm did anyone else get a “you got banned in operators@…” or is that an error in my client ?

*notification that is

If you are @ksenia then that's why. Please refrain from the type of messages you posted today.

fortunately I am not. I guess I found a bug then. thanks

Good. In that case the message should read that that other user got banned.
