environment variables can now be used to set options:
if an environment variable is set using `SAT_PUBSUB_[OPTION NAME]` it will be used if not
specified directly in command line.
Options are retrieved in this order of priority:
- command line (highest priority)
- environment variable
- option set in `sat.conf`
For database options, following PostgreSQL aliases can also be used: PGUSER, PGDATABASE,
PGPASSWORD, PGHOST, PGPORT.

============ Installation ============ This are the instructions to install SàT Pubsub. .. note:: SàT PubSub is not released yet and this documentation is work in progress Requirements ------------ - Python 3.7+ - Python 3 "venv", which may be installed with Python 3 - Mercurial - Twisted >= 15.2.0: - Twisted Core - Twisted Words - Wokkel >= 0.7.1 (http://wokkel.ik.nu/) - A XMPP server that supports the component protocol (XEP-0114), and, to enable the micro-blogging feature, Namespace Delegation (XEP-0355) and privileged entity (XEP-0356) are needed. We recommend using Prosody with mod_privilege and mod_delegation modules (those modules are maintained by us). - SàT tmp (http://repos.goffi.org/sat_tmp) is currently needed for MAM and RSM handling For the PostgreSQL backend, the following is also required: - PostgreSQL >= 9.5 (including development files for psycopg2) - psycopg2 Installation From Sources ------------------------- To install SàT PubSub we'll work in a virtual environment. On Debian and derivatives you should easily install dependencies with this:: sudo apt-get install postgresql python3-dev python3-venv python3-wheel mercurial Now go in a location where you can install SàT Pubsub, for instance your home directory:: $ cd And enter the following commands:: $ python3 -m venv env $ source env/bin/activate $ pip install wheel $ pip install hg+https://repos.goffi.org/sat_pubsub .. note:: If your are installing from a local clone of the repository, it has been reported that installation with ``python setup.py install`` is not working properly. Please use ``pip install .`` instead. Post Installation ----------------- Once SàT Pubsub is installed, you'll need to create a PostgreSQL user, and create the database:: % sudo -u postgres createuser -d -P $(whoami) % createdb pubsub % cd /tmp && wget https://repos.goffi.org/sat_pubsub/raw-file/tip/db/pubsub.sql % psql pubsub < pubsub.sql .. _prosody_configuration: Prosody Configuration --------------------- SàT PubSub can work with any XMPP server (which supports components), but if you want to use it as your PEP service, you need a server which supports `XEP-0355`_ and `XEP-0356`_. Below you'll find the instruction to use SàT PubSub as a PEP service with Prosody: - add these two lines at the end of your ``prosody.cfg.lua`` file, adapting them to your XMPP server domain (virtual host) and selecting a password of your choice: .. sourcecode:: lua Component "pubsub.<xmpp_domain>" component_secret = "<password>" - there are extra steps to enable the micro-blogging feature with Prosody. Please follow the installation and configuration instructions that are given on these pages: - https://modules.prosody.im/mod_delegation.html - https://modules.prosody.im/mod_privilege.html To keep your modules up to date, we recommend to clone the full modules repository and then to symlink them like that: .. sourcecode:: shell % cd /path/to/install_dir % hg clone https://hg.prosody.im/prosody-modules % cd /path/to/prosody_plugins % ln -sf /path/to/install_dir/prosody-modules/mod_delegation ./ % ln -sf /path/to/install_dir/prosody-modules/mod_privilege ./ Or course, you have to adapt ``/path/to/install_dir`` to the directory where you want to install the modules, and ``/path/to/prosody_plugins`` to the directory where prosody modules are installed (hint: check ``prosodyctl about`` to find the latter). The ``ln`` commands may have to be run as root depending on your installation. Once your symlinks are set, to update the modules we just need to type this: .. sourcecode:: shell % cd /path/to/install_dir/prosody-modules % hg pull -u Here is an example of how your ``prosody.cfg.lua`` should look like with ``mod_delegation`` and ``mod_privilege`` activated: .. sourcecode:: lua [...] modules_enabled = { [...] "delegation"; "privilege"; } [...] VirtualHost "<xmpp_domain>" privileged_entities = { ["pubsub.<xmpp_domain>"] = { roster = "get"; message = "outgoing"; presence = "roster"; }, } delegations = { ["urn:xmpp:mam:2"] = { filtering = {"node"}; jid = "pubsub.<xmpp_domain>"; }, ["http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub"] = { jid = "pubsub.<xmpp_domain>"; }, ["http://jabber.org/protocol/pubsub#owner"] = { jid = "pubsub.<xmpp_domain>"; }, ["https://salut-a-toi/protocol/schema:0"] = { jid = "pubsub.<xmpp_domain>"; }, ["http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items:*"] = { jid = "pubsub.<xmpp_domain>"; }, ["https://salut-a-toi.org/spec/pubsub_admin:0"] = { jid = "pubsub.<xmpp_domain>"; }, } Component "pubsub.<xmpp_domain>" component_secret = "<password>" modules_enabled = {"delegation", "privilege"} Of course, you still have to replace and adapt to your own settings. .. _XEP-0355: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0355.html .. _XEP-0356: https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0356.html Running SàT PubSub ------------------ The minimal example for running sat_pubsub is: % twistd sat-pubsub This will start the service and run it in the background. It generates a file twistd.pid that holds the PID of the service and a log file twistd.log. The twistd utility has a fair number of options that might be useful, and can be viewed with: % twistd --help When the service starts, it will connect to the XMPP server at the local machine using the component protocol, and assumes the JID ``pubsub``. This assumes a couple of defaults which can be overridden by passing parameters to the twistd plugin. You can get an overview of the parameters and their defaults using: % twistd sat-pubsub --help In particular, the following parameters will be of interest: ``--jid`` The Jabber ID the component will assume. ``--rport`` the port number of the XMPP server to connect to ``--xmpp_pwd`` the secret used to authenticate with the XMPP server. For example:: twistd sat-pubsub --jid=pubsub.<your_xmpp_domain> --xmpp_pwd=<password> You can set your options in ``sat.conf`` which is the same file used as for Salut à Toi ecosystem. Please check backend ``configuration`` section for details. The SàT PubSub options must be in ``[pubsub]`` section.
