Prosody Admin Docs
See also our user facing docs.
Our XMPP server runs prosody on mcchesney.mayfirst.org.
Our custom configuration is in /etc/prosody/conf.d/mayfirst.org.cfg.lua - please do not edit /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua (we also have im.mayfirst.org.cfg.lua for backward compatability sake but we should encourage everyone to re-register from their @im.mayfirst.org to @mayfirst.org).
We using an external auth script to authenticate people (/etc/prosody/mf-auth.py) that uses our login service so everyone can login with the user/pass that they already have.
Modules
We have the prosody-modules package installed via debian (buster backports so we get turncredentials) and from that package we have enabled the following modules:
- carbons: copy messages to all clients
- smacks: stream management
- csi: allows clients to request that certain updates not be propagated to preserve battery
- filter_chatstates: works with mod_csi to avoid chat state updates
- throttle_presence: works with mod_csi to avoid presence updates
- 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.
- http_upload
- blocking
- cloud_notify
- proxy65
- turncredentials
In addition, we are maintaining ourselves:
- mod_auth_external.lua: allows for external auth
This mod is available via the modules.prosody.im site - just click the install link]. We install it in /usr/local/lib/prosody/modules.
Debian packages
We have the following Debian packages installed:
- prosody
- prosody-modules
- lua-sec
- lua-lpty
- lua-event
- coturn
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:~$
The im.mayfirst.org is kept for backward compatability. Everyone should use <username>@mayfirst.org rather than <username>@im.mayfirst.org.
