someodd·9 months ago·discussI actually enabled BOSH on my Prosody setup.For reference: https://www.someodd.zip/phlog-mirror/xmpp-server.gopherBOSH still has some interesting trade-offs even today. It can help with some NAT headaches and rides over plain HTTPS. I like this old post:https://metajack.im/2008/07/02/xmpp-is-better-with-bosh/Curious who here uses BOSH in production and/or WebSocket (RFC 7395) these days.
someodd·9 months ago·discussI've been homelabbing my own XMPP setup for a while. I went with Prosody and I enjoy its Lua flexibility and clean config model.For anyone curious, I documented the full process (including IRC bridge + more!) here:https://someodd.zip/phlog-mirror/xmpp-server.gopherI also covered audio/video calls using a companion STUN/TURN server:https://someodd.zip/phlog-mirror/xmpp-server-video-audio-cal...Curious how others here are handling federation and mobile clients these days. I use Conversations (F-Droid) and Gajim.
