= Prosody Admin Docs = See also our [wiki:how-to/jabber user facing docs]. Our XMPP server runs prosody on mcchesney.mayfirst.org. Our custom configuration is in /etc/prosody/conf.d/im.mayfirst.org.cg.lua - please do not edit /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua. We using an external auth script to authenticate people (/etc/prosody/mf-auth.py) that uses our [wiki:login-service login service] so everyone can login with the user/pass that they already have. == Modules == We have the prosody-modules package installed via debian and from that package we have enabled the carbons (copy messages to all clients) and smacks (stream management) modules. In addition, we have a number of modules that are not packaged in debian that we must upgrade ourselves by hand. The source code for the modules is located in: /usr/local/src/prosody-modules-source/ It is populated via mercurial, so to update, run: {{{ 0 mcchesney:/usr/local/src/prosody-modules-source# hg update 0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved 0 mcchesney:/usr/local/src/prosody-modules-source# }}} The live modules should then be copied to: /usr/local/lib/prosody/modules And then prosody should be restarted. At the moment we are maintaining: * mod_auth_external.lua: allows for external auth * mod_csi: allows clients to request that certain updates not be propagated to preserve battery * mod_filter_chatstates: works with mod_csi to avoid chat state updates * mod_throttle_presence: works with mod_csi to avoid presence updates * mod_mam: maintains chats in an archive to be re-delivered when you come back online. Stores for only a week. Note: becuase we are running prosody .9, our only option seems to be in-memory storage, so we will lose archive messages on reboot. == DNS == We have srv records: {{{ 0 jamie@turkey:~$ dig +short @a.ns.mayfirst.org -t srv _xmpp-client._tcp.mayfirst.org 0 0 5222 im.mayfirst.org. 0 jamie@turkey:~$ dig +short @a.ns.mayfirst.org -t srv _xmpp-server._tcp.mayfirst.org 0 0 5269 im.mayfirst.org. 0 jamie@turkey:~$ }}} In theory you should be able to use @mayfirst.org rather than @im.mayfirst.org.
