mod_conversejs: Serve base app at / This makes things slightly less awkward for the browser to figure out which URLs belong to a PWA. The app's "start URL" was previously without the '/' and therefore was not considered within the scope of the PWA. Now the canonical app URL will always have a '/'. Prosody/mod_http should take care of redirecting existing links without the trailing / to the new URL. If you have an installation at https://prosody/conversejs then it is now at https://prosody/conversejs/ (the first URL will now redirect to the second URL if you use it). The alternative would be to make the PWA scope include the parent, i.e. the whole of https://prosody/ in this case. This might get messy if other PWAs are provided by the same site or Prosody installation, however.

summary: Log failed authentication attempts with their IP address
...

Introduction
============

Prosody doesn't write IP addresses to its log file by default for
privacy reasons (unless debug logging is enabled).

This module enables logging of the IP address in a failed authentication
attempt so that those trying to break into accounts for example can be
blocked.

fail2ban configuration
======================

fail2ban is a utility for monitoring log files and automatically
blocking "bad" IP addresses at the firewall level.

With this module enabled in Prosody you can use the following example
configuration for fail2ban:

    # /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/prosody-auth.conf
    # Fail2Ban configuration file for prosody authentication
    [Definition]
    failregex = Failed authentication attempt \(not-authorized\) for user .* from IP: <HOST>
    ignoreregex =

And at the appropriate place (usually the bottom) of
/etc/fail2ban/jail.conf add these lines:

    [prosody]
    enabled = true
    port    = 5222
    filter  = prosody-auth
    logpath = /var/log/prosody/prosody*.log
    maxretry = 6
