# Prosody server controlled by Peertube
|
|
|
|
This is the recommended setup mode for this plugin.
|
|
|
|
Peertube will launch a [Prosody](https://prosody.im) process, with a custom configuration.
|
|
|
|
Prosody is a Free and Open Source XMPP/Jabber server software.
|
|
|
|
With this mode, the Peertube server will be able to communicate with the Prosody server, with following features:
|
|
|
|
- auto login: if a user is logged in on the Peertube instance, it will be automatically authenticated in the web chat
|
|
- access rights: Peertube instance's administrators and moderators will automatically be owner for all created chat rooms.
|
|
- access rights: the Peertube's user who has added the video will automatically be moderator on the chat room.
|
|
- moderation tools will be enabled
|
|
- it will not be possible to create a room that is not linked to a video
|
|
- chat room will automatically get some informations from the video (title, ...)
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisite
|
|
|
|
### For standard Peertube installations
|
|
|
|
You have to install [Prosody](https://prosody.im) on your server:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install prosody
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are not using prosody for anything else on your server, you can then disabled it:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo systemctl disable prosody && sudo systemctl stop prosody
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And that's it!
|
|
|
|
The Prosody process launched by the plugin will listen on a specific port, and only on the localhost interface.
|
|
You don't to open any external port on your firewall.
|
|
The default local port will be 52800 and can be changed in the plugin settings.
|
|
|
|
### For Docker installations
|
|
|
|
In the docker-compose.yml file, replace the peertube service image
|
|
`image: chocobozzz/peertube:production-buster` by `image: johnxlivingston/peertubelivechat:production-buster`.
|
|
|
|
And that's it!
|
|
|
|
You can find the source for this Dockerfile [here](../docker/Dockerfile.buster).
|
|
|
|
## Settings
|
|
|
|
### Chat mode
|
|
|
|
Just select «Prosody server controlled by Peertube» as chat mode.
|
|
|
|
### Room type
|
|
|
|
You can choose here to have separate rooms for each video, or to group them by channel.
|
|
|
|
#### Prosody port
|
|
|
|
This is the port that the Prosody server will use. By default it is set to 52800. If you want to use another port, just change the value here.
|
|
|
|
### Chat behaviour
|
|
|
|
These settings are common with other chat modes.
|
|
Here is the documentation: [common settings](./common.md).
|
|
|
|
### Prosody advanced settings
|
|
|
|
#### Show the «share chat link» button
|
|
|
|
This feature enable a «share chat link» modal. With this modal, you can generate urls to join the chat.
|
|
The chat can be customized (readonly mode, use the current theme, ...).
|
|
|
|
You can for example generate a readonly url and use it in OBS to integrate the chat in your live stream!
|
|
|
|
This settings allows you to choose who can access this modal.
|
|
|
|
#### Peertube url for API calls
|
|
|
|
In some rare cases, Prosody can't call Peertube's API from its public URI.
|
|
If you have such issues (see the diagnostic tool result), you can try to set the value
|
|
of this settings to `http://localhost:9000` or `http://127.0.0.1:9000`
|
|
(supposing your Peertube is listening on port `9000`, check this in your Peertube `config/production.yaml` file).
|
|
|
|
#### Log rooms content by default
|
|
|
|
If checked, room content will be archived on the server by default.
|
|
This means that users who join the chan will see messages send before then joined.
|
|
|
|
Please note that it is always possible to enable/disable the content archiving for a specific room,
|
|
by editing its properties.
|
|
|
|
#### Room logs expiration
|
|
|
|
You can set here the expiration delay for rooms archives.
|
|
See the online help for accepted values.
|
|
|
|
#### Enable client to server connections
|
|
|
|
This setting enable XMPP clients to connect to the builtin Prosody server.
|
|
For now, this option **only allows connections from localhost clients**.
|
|
|
|
As example, this option can allow an instance of Matterbridge (once it could use anonymous login) *on the same machine* to bridge your chat with another services like a Matrix room.
|
|
|
|
##### Prosody client to server port
|
|
|
|
The port that will be used by the c2s module of the builtin Prosody server.
|
|
XMPP clients shall use this port to connect.
|
|
Change it if this port is already in use on your server.
|
|
|
|
#### Enable external XMPP components
|
|
|
|
This settings enable XMPP external components to connect to the server.
|
|
For now, this option **only allows connections from localhost components**.
|
|
|
|
This feature could be used to connect bridges or bots.
|
|
|
|
More informations on Prosody external components [here](https://prosody.im/doc/components).
|
|
|
|
## Moderation
|
|
|
|
You can access rooms settings and moderation tools by opening the chat in a new window,
|
|
and using the dropdown menu at the top right.
|
|
|
|
You can list all existing chatrooms: in the plugin settings screen, there is a button «List rooms».
|
|
|
|
You can delete old rooms: join the room, and use the menu on the top to destroy the room.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
All instance moderators and admins will be owner for created chat rooms.
|
|
If the video is local (not from a remote Peertube), the video owner will be admin in the chat room.
|
|
|
|
You can use [ConverseJS moderation commands](https://conversejs.org/docs/html/features.html#moderating-chatrooms) to moderate the room.
|
|
When you open the chat room in full screen, there will also be a menu with dedicated commands on the top right.
|
|
|
|
## Advanced usages
|
|
|
|
### OBS Overlay
|
|
|
|
#### Using readonly chat url
|
|
|
|
You can use the «share chat link» feature (see above) to generate an url to your chat.
|
|
Check the «readonly» checkbox in the modal.
|
|
Then use this link as a «web browser source» in OBS.
|
|
|
|
Note: you can customize colors. This is undocumented yet, but you can try this:
|
|
in the modal, check «use curent theme colors», then you can try to manually change color values in the url.
|
|
You must use valid CSS color values, and they must be properly url encoded.
|
|
|
|
#### Using Matterbridge
|
|
|
|
Here is a tutorial to use Matterbridge with the plugin: <https://gitlab.com/refrac/obs-matterbridge-overlay/-/blob/master/documentation/peertube.md>
