removed `sat_tmp.twisted` patches + update minimum Twisted version:
- `sat_tmp` patches are not needed anymore and cause trouble with latest Twisted (21.02)
- update minimum to `20.3.0` which is the first one to support Python 3.8

============ Installation ============ This are the instructions to install SàT Pubsub. .. note:: SàT PubSub is not released yet and this documentation is work in progress .. note:: /!\ Beware, if you're installing SàT Pubsub on a server already running in production, it will replace your legacy Pubsub service, meaning that everything stored there won't be available anymore (this includes, and is not limited to, bookmarks, encryption keys, blogs, etc.). Be sure to save everything from your legacy Pubsub service before switching to SàT Pubsub. Migration scripts are not yet available, help is welcome to write them. 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.
