Today I wanted to install yet another web frontend for the services I host, i.e. mumble-web
mumble-web is an HTML5 Mumble client for use in modern browsers.
I won't bore you with the install details, just know that it's basically JS and you need to install npm modules.. After some processing and a whole lot of deprecation warnings on screen, it finally failed. Then I looked at the logs it left and it was searching for python2!! Went back to the github page and found out the code is from about 3 years ago, with the latest issue being about one guy managing to build the software on Debian 11 with some old NodeJs version..
So, after a bit of disappointment, I delete the whole directory and be done with it. You know, there's no alternatives out there 😟
Now I would like to ask a question to disroot admins: how the hell are you running this junk on your server!? I believe they're using docker, still it's not safe in my opinion to run such old-unmaintained stuff.
I won't be doing that.
Thanks to Zash and Jcbrand in the "Converse" MUC and a bit of hacking I was able to set up a few community plugins for my conversejs install as a prosody module.
Here's the configuration in /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua:
conversejs_resources = "/usr/local/lib/prosody/modules/mod_conversejs/dist"
conversejs_tags = {
-- Load favicon
[[<link rel="shortcut icon" href="https://woodpeckersnest.space/images/converse-js.ico">]];
-- Load libsignal-protocol.js for OMEMO support (GPLv3; be aware of licence implications)
[[<script src="https://cdn.conversejs.org/3rdparty/libsignal-protocol.min.js"></script>]];
-- Load community plugins
[[<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="screen" href="conversejs/dist/plugins/search/search.css" />]];
[[<script src="conversejs/dist/plugins/actions/actions.js"></script>]];
[[<script src="conversejs/dist/plugins/search/search.js"></script>]];
[[<script src="conversejs/dist/plugins/search/jspdf.debug.js"></script>]];
[[<script src="conversejs/dist/plugins/search/jspdf.plugin.autotable.js"></script>]];
[[<script src="conversejs/dist/plugins/toolbar-utilities/toolbar-utilities.js"></script>]];
[[<script src="conversejs/dist/plugins/screencast/screencast.js"></script>]];
}
conversejs_options = {
locked_domain = "woodpeckersnest.space";
auto_focus = true;
view_mode = "fullscreen";
allow_registration = false;
auto_reconnect = true;
reuse_scram_keys = true;
muc_clear_messages_on_leave = true;
clear_cache_on_logout = false;
play_sounds = true;
whitelisted_plugins = {"actions", "search", "toolbar-utilities", "screencast"};
}
You'll have to copy the plugins directories (actions, search etc..) in this path:
/usr/local/lib/prosody/modules/mod_conversejs/dist/plugins/
Then reload configuration and conversejs module or restart prosody.
Already found a bug in "toolbar-utilities" and haven't still had a chance to try the screencast plugin, but they look good for the most part.
Maybe I will add Jitsi Meet or Voice Chat at some point.. Not now though. ¹
EDIT: screencast is working alright, but not in the way you'd expect it. It's not a live streaming, instead it's a recording of your screen which gets uploaded once you stop the cast.. I wouldn't say it's perfect but not even bad.
¹ I've added them 😛
Little OT, but not so much 😀
To manage your sieve scripts from Thunderbird 115 there's this nightly build, until developer will code a proper release with fixes.
You can read the issue at https://github.com/thsmi/sieve/issues/893 and I've uploaded the file for convenience here.
My server comes with a default sieve to filter spam messages and another one to move Delta Chat emails:
require ["fileinto"];
# rule:[DeltaChat]
if header :contains "Chat-Version" "1.0"
{
fileinto "DeltaChat";
stop;
}
# rule:[SPAM Check]
if header :contains "X-Spam-Flag" "YES"
{
fileinto "Junk";
stop;
}
