Tried to write a system declaration that includes a prosody server.Indeed it seems like it's never worked. The issue is: how do we know
This bug aims to collect some bugs that were found and some features that were needed during writing.
1. The opaque-prosody-configuration as used in this example
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#index-prosody_002ecfg_002elua
is broken. A workaround for now is adding raw-content as a field inside prosody-configuration.
the pid-file if the user is using the raw config. Sounds like we need a
service, in that case, that works without pid-file.
2. Prosody Includes a plugin installer now https://prosody.im/doc/installing_modules#using-the-installerCool, I'd be happy to review. Thanks for this email. It's a long time
so the plugin-directory here https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#index-plugin_002dpaths needs to be changed to wrap the
module installer instead. since its easier to do that than manually copying modules.
This is for modules that are not part of guix yet. Ideally imo an xmpp package file would be ideal to host any module that are packaged plus all
related software.
3. The modules enabled by default is outdated https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#index-modules_002denabled
A simple example vcard is deprecated now. also not sure if register should be default now since we have invites.
4. Security should be the default at this point
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#index-c2s_002drequire_002dencryption_003f
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#index-s2s_002drequire_002dencryption_003f
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#index-s2s_002dsecure_002dauth_003f
should be turned to true by default. all are already true by default upstream https://prosody.im/doc/s2s#security
5. The internal authentication here https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#index-authentication
should be internal_hashed as per default. https://prosody.im/doc/authentication it should never be plain.
6. Also a field for http_file_share is mandatory nowadays. see https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_http_file_share
7. room creation should be local for safety reasons
https://guix.gnu.org/en/manual/devel/en/guix.html#index-restrict_002droom_002dcreation
nobody allows non local anymore.
I plan to get to do this btw after i am done with the joinjabber
server at some point. 😄
I haven't been using Prosody and unfortunately this Guile wrapper is a
maintenance burden. Even more so now that XMPP is less and less used.
I wonder if it would be better to just support a minimal raw config.
