| 4 summary: 'XEP-XXX: Cloud push notifications for MUC' | |
| 5 --- | |
| 6 | |
| 7 # Introduction | |
| 8 | |
| 9 This is an experimental fork of [mod_cloud_notify](https://modules.prosody.im/mod_cloud_notify.html) | |
| 10 which allows a [XEP-0357 Push Notifications App Servers](https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0357.html#general-architecture) | |
| 11 to be registered against a MUC domain (normally they're only registered against | |
| 12 your own chat server's domain). | |
| 13 | |
| 14 The goal here is to also enable push notifications also for MUCs. | |
| 15 | |
| 16 In contrast to mod_cloud_notify, this module does NOT integrate with | |
| 17 mod_smacks, because a MUC can't access a remote user's XEP-0198 queue. | |
| 18 | |
| 19 Configuration | |
| 20 ============= | |
| 21 | |
| 22 Option Default Description | |
| 23 ------------------------------------ ----------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 24 `push_notification_with_body` `false` Whether or not to send the message body to remote pubsub node. | |
| 25 `push_notification_with_sender` `false` Whether or not to send the message sender to remote pubsub node. | |
| 26 `push_max_errors` `16` How much persistent push errors are tolerated before notifications for the identifier in question are disabled | |
| 27 `push_notification_important_body` `New Message!` The body text to use when the stanza is important (see above), no message body is sent if this is empty | |
| 28 `push_max_devices` `5` The number of allowed devices per user (the oldest devices are automatically removed if this threshold is reached) | |
| 29 | |
| 30 There are privacy implications for enabling these options because | |
| 31 plaintext content and metadata will be shared with centralized servers | |
| 32 (the pubsub node) run by arbitrary app developers. | |
| 33 | |
| 34 ## To test this module: | |
| 35 | |
| 36 The [Converse](http://conversejs.org/) client has support for registering push | |
| 37 "app servers" against a MUC. | |

39 You specify app servers with the [push_app_servers](https://conversejs.org/docs/html/configuration.html#push-app-servers) |
| 3319 | 40 config setting. |

|
42 And then you need to set [enable_muc_push](https://conversejs.org/docs/html/configuration.html#enable-muc-push) |
| 3319 | 43 to `true` so that these app servers are also registered against MUC domains. |

51 Note: Converse currently doesn't let you register separate app servers for |
| 3319 | 52 a MUC domain. The same app servers are registered for the MUC domain and your |
| 53 own domain. | |
| 54 | |
| 55 ## To be done: | |
| 56 | |
| 57 We currently don't handle "ghost connections", users who are currently offline | |
| 58 but the XMPP server is not yet aware of this and shows considers them online in | |
| 59 the MUC. | |
| 60 | |
| 61 Prosody already checks for error bounces from undelivered groupchat messages | |
| 62 and then kicks the particular user from the room. | |
| 63 | |
| 64 So these ghost connection users eventually get kicked from the room. | |
| 65 | |
| 66 We now need a module that fires an event when a groupchat messages can't be | |
| 67 delivered to an occupant. The module can look up the undelivered message in MAM | |
| 68 and include it in the event. | |
| 69 | |
| 70 In mod_muc_cloud_notify we can then listen for this event and send out a push | |
| 71 notification. |
