XMPP Service Operators - 2023-10-23

hi operators, i want to inform you we investigate a bug in ejabberd 23.10 regarding bookmarks/pubsub ( https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/4106 ), if this turns out to be indeed a server bug it means, bookmarks are broken, and your users may not be happy.

lovetox: https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/commit/f48275bc112b123bb632cbd8fa52e6330ed6ac66 would fix it afaik

Was raised in ejabberd channel after release

Is it only related to Bookmarks, and not other Pubsub nodes ?

Not sure on the details sorry

the commit message reads like a horrible workaround

> Only care about pep bookmarks options when creating node from scratch

https://github.com/processone/ejabberd/issues/3044#issuecomment-1775832114

no, no, no, publish options need always be checked

not only on creation

I put a comment on the related ticket

I've updated my comment too, but that's all I know, the devs might chime next

... In #4106

Licaon_Kter, the commit you showed looks like a interal publish, i think its for conversion purpose

if you publish something to private bookmarks, it calls a publish on pubsub to sync it or something

so no this would not fix the problem i see

because the solution here was to not pass publish options, i dont have that luxury

lovetox: yeoh specific for Https://docs.ejabberd.im/developer/ejabberd-api/admin-api/#bookmarks-to-pep

Maybe you see some other deeply rooted issue

hello!

hello!

Dear operators, please start testing: https://certwatch.xmpp.net/

emus, great !

Lets thank to XSF Infrastructure team ✏

emus, I obtain 502 when testing :/

Oh trying again I get a result

Well, quite unstable xD

xsf ftw =)

502 is surprising, i can look into it. It's definitely early testing I wrote this in the last two evenings

I had a 502 as well, and then it took several attempts over minutes to eventually render a page

Must be crashing the web process, I'll check it once kids are in bed

Seems it was an issue with my watchdog. Should be fixed now
