| 3 =================== | |
| 4 Libervia Components | |
| 5 =================== | |
| 6 | |
| 7 Libervia can act as an XMPP server component, which can be seen as a generic plugin for | |
| 8 XMPP servers. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 This page explains which components are available and how to use them. | |
| 11 | |
| 12 Running a component | |
| 13 =================== | |
| 14 | |
| 15 Components are linked to a Libervia profile in the same way as normal clients. | |
| 16 | |
| 17 To run a component, you'll need to know its *entry point*, which is the name of the import | |
| 18 name of plugin managing it. The entry point to use will be specified in the component | |
| 19 installation documentation. | |
| 20 | |
| 21 You'll also have to declare the component on your XMPP server, this is a server dependent | |
| 22 step and you'll have to check your server documentation for details. You'll have to | |
| 23 specify a **shared secret** (can also be named simply *password*) that must be set both on | |
| 24 the XMPP server and as the XMPP password of the Libervia profile. | |
| 25 | |
| 26 Here is a list of relevant documentation for most common servers: | |

| 33 | |
| 34 OpenFire | |
| 35 use the web-based admin panel | |
| 36 | |
| 37 Prosody | |

| 39 | |
| 40 Tigase | |
| 41 https://docs.tigase.net/tigase-server/stable-snapshot/Administration_Guide/webhelp/externalComponentConfiguration.html | |
| 42 | |
| 43 | |
| 44 On Libervia, setup is done with Libervia CLI's :ref:`profile create <li_profile_create>` | |
| 45 command. | |
| 46 | |
| 47 You'll usually want to have the component to start automatically when the backend | |
| 48 is started, for this you must unset the profile password (not to be confused with the XMPP | |
| 49 password which is the one also set on the server configuration) with ``-p ""`` and set | |
| 50 auto-connection with ``-A``. | |
| 51 | |
| 52 You'll specify the XMPP password (also named *shared secret* in `XEP-0144`_ terminology) | |
| 53 with ``-x <your_shared_secret>`` and the JID to use with ``-j | |
| 54 <component_subdomain>.<server.tld>``. | |
| 55 | |
| 56 The component entry point is specified with ``-C <entry_point>``. | |
| 57 | |
| 58 .. _XEP-0144: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0114.html | |
| 59 | |
| 60 example | |
| 61 ------- | |
| 62 | |
| 63 Louise wants to run an ActivityPub gateway on her server ``example.org`` with the JID | |
| 64 ``ap.example.org``. The shared secret is ``xmpp_rocks`` and she wants the component to | |
| 65 start automatically with the backend, thus she doesn't set a profile password. The | |
| 66 entry-point for ActivityPub component is ``ap-gateway``, and she wants to use the same | |
| 67 name for the profile. To do this, she enters the following command:: | |
| 68 | |
| 69 $ li profile create ap-gateway -j ap.example.org -p "" -x xmpp_rocks -C ap-gateway -A | |
| 70 | |
| 71 The component will then be started next time Libervia Backend is launched. If Louise | |
| 72 wants to connect it immediately, she can use:: | |
| 73 | |
| 74 $ li profile connect -cp ap-gateway | |
| 75 | |
| 76 Available Components | |
| 77 ==================== | |
| 78 | |
| 79 Below is a list of currently available components in Libervia, and instructions on what | |
| 80 they do and how to use them. | |
| 81 | |
| 82 | |
| 83 File Sharing | |
| 84 ------------ | |
| 85 | |
| 86 **entry_point:** ``file-sharing`` | |
| 87 | |
| 88 File Sharing component manage the hosting of user files. Users can upload file there using | |
| 89 either `Jingle File Transfer`_ or `HTTP File Upload`_. | |
| 90 | |
| 91 There is no limit to the size of files which can be uploaded, but administrators can set a | |
| 92 quota to limit the space that can be used. | |
| 93 | |
| 94 Files can be retrieved using `File Information Sharing`_, and deleted using `Ad-Hoc Commands`_. | |
| 95 | |
| 96 Files can be shared with a public HTTP link, or made available only to a specified list of | |
| 97 entities (JIDs). Permissions can be set through Ad-Hoc Commands. | |
| 98 | |
| 99 .. _Jingle File Transfer: https://xmpp.org/extensions/ | |
| 100 .. _HTTP File Upload: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html | |
| 101 .. _File Information Sharing: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0329.html | |
| 102 .. _Ad-Hoc Commands: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0050.html | |
| 103 | |
| 104 Configuration | |
| 105 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 106 | |
| 107 All options are to be set in ``[component file-sharing]`` section. | |
| 108 | |
| 109 ``http_upload_port`` | |
| 110 port to use for HTTP File Upload | |
| 111 | |
| 112 **default**: 8888 | |
| 113 | |
| 114 ``http_upload_connection_type`` | |
| 115 either ``http`` or ``https``. | |
| 116 | |
| 117 **default**: ``https`` | |
| 118 | |
| 119 Note that HTTP Upload should always be ``https`` to end-user, the ``http`` option is to | |
| 120 be used only if you use a HTTP server as a proxy, and this server is already set for | |
| 121 TLS. | |
| 122 | |
| 123 ``http_upload_public_facing_url`` | |
| 124 must be set to the URL that end-user will see. Notably useful if the component is behind | |
| 125 a proxy. | |
| 126 | |
| 127 **default**: ``https://<component host>:<http_upload_port`` | |
| 128 | |
| 129 ``quotas_json`` | |
| 130 a JSON object indicating quotas to use for users. The object can have 3 keys: | |
| 131 | |
| 132 ``admins`` | |
| 133 quotas to use for administrators (i.e. profiles set in ``admins_list``) | |
| 134 | |
| 135 ``users`` | |
| 136 quotas to use for normal users (i.e. non admin profiles) | |
| 137 | |
| 138 ``jids`` | |
| 139 per-jid specific quotas. The value is a JSON object where key is a user bare jid and | |
| 140 value is a quota. | |
| 141 | |
| 142 Quotas can be either ``null`` for unlimited space, or a size value (`SI prefixes and | |
| 143 binary prefixes`_ can be used). | |
| 144 | |
| 145 example:: | |
| 146 | |
| 147 quotas_json = { | |
| 148 "admins": null, | |
| 149 "users": "50 Mio", | |
| 150 "jids": {"pierre@example.org": "1 Gio"} | |
| 151 } | |

| 3838 | 706 Mentions |
| 707 ~~~~~~~~ | |
| 708 | |
| 709 Mentions are converted by the gateway under some conditions explained below. | |
| 710 | |
| 711 When receiving an AP item which converts to a pubsub item (i.e. not a direct message), for | |
| 712 any local user mentioned (using a tag of type ``Mention``) or directly specified in a | |
| 713 target field (``to``, ``bto``, ``cc`` or ``bcc``), a `XEP-0372 (References)`_ type mention | |
| 714 will be emitted. | |
| 715 | |
| 716 This is not done for direct message as the recipients are already specified, and sending | |
| 717 reference is most probably not desired for a private message. | |
| 718 | |
| 719 In the direction XMPP 🠞 ActivityPub, it's more complicated because XMPP sends references | |
| 720 separately from the pubsub item, while ActivityPub links them in the same item. | |
| 721 | |
| 722 If a XEP-0372 reference targeting an AP actor is received and anchor a pubsub item, the | |
| 723 item will be looked after in cache. If found, it will be converted to an AP item, a | |
| 724 mention will be added, and the item will be delivered to the mentioned entity. | |
| 725 | |
| 726 This only works if the mentioned actor is on a server which has not already received the | |
| 727 original item, because otherwise the AP implementation will most probably ignore the new | |
| 728 item which has the same ID. | |
| 729 | |
| 730 It is hard to avoid sending first published item, then the same item with the reference, | |
| 731 because XEP-0372 references are received after the published items. | |
| 732 | |
| 733 To work around that, when an XMPP blog item is received, its body is scanned to find | |
| 734 ``@user@server.tld`` type mention, and if found a mention is automatically added to the | |
| 735 resulting AP item. | |
| 736 | |
| 737 It is not ideal to parse the body, but that's an acceptable trade-off to make mention | |
| 738 working. This behaviour is activated by default, but can be deactivated by setting | |
| 739 ``auto_mentions`` option to ``false``. Auto mentions are only used for pubsub items, and | |
| 740 not for direct messages for the same reason as mention are not checked in AP direct | |
| 741 messages (see above). | |
| 742 | |
| 743 .. note:: | |
| 744 | |
| 745 For auto mentions, it's the AP actor handle which must be used, not the corresponding | |
| 746 virtual JID. | |
| 747 | |
| 748 If you want to mention ``louise@example.org`` then you must use directly | |
| 749 ``@louise@example.org``, and NOT something like | |
| 750 ``@louise\40example.org@ap.example.net``. | |
| 751 | |
| 752 To mention XMPP entities, your client must use XEP-0372 references directly. | |
| 753 | |
