Comment: note that we're compliant with 2020 recommended XEPs, and that we don't use TURN (and why)

We are compliant with [[https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0423.html|XEP-0423: XMPP Compliance Suites 2020]]. We have a STUN server, but are not at this time running a TURN server (we would need to limit it to coop members only, and at that point it's not very useless: IPv6 adoption is also rapidly expanding). If you think we should enable TURN, please contact the admins.

1. Daemon

We use ejabberd

We are compliant with XEP-0423: XMPP Compliance Suites 2020. We have a STUN server, but are not at this time running a TURN server (we would need to limit it to coop members only, and at that point it's not very useless: IPv6 adoption is also rapidly expanding). If you think we should enable TURN, please contact the admins.

2. Installation

Installation is handled by Puppet class hcoop::service::xmpp::ejabberd. It will automatically use the HCoop TLS certificate, set up krb5 authentication, and open the needed firewall ports.

3. Additional Config

A few things are not managed by Puppet.

3.1. DNS Records

We need several DNS records for XMPP servers, stored in the hcoop.net domtool configuration.

3.2. Static files in hcoop.net/.well-known

XEP-0156: Discovering Alternative XMPP Connection Methods (HTTP) requires two files to be accessible from https://hcoop.net:

These list BOSH and WebSocket endpoints and may need to be adjusted when adding/removing ejabberd servers.

4. Old content

Might be relevant in the future -- we have a single server setup at the moment, and are not managing the erlang cookie for example.

All nodes must have the same erlang cookie. When installing a new node replace the default Debian cookie with one copied from ~ejabberd/.erlang_cookie.
