<title>Basic usage</title>
<para>
A common struggle for most XMPP newcomers is to find the right set
of XMPP Extensions (XEPs) to setup. Forget to activate a few of
those and your XMPP experience might turn into a nightmare!
</para>
<para>
The XMPP community tackles this problem by creating a meta-XEP
listing a decent set of XEPs you should implement. This meta-XEP
is issued every year, the 2020 edition being
<link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0423.html">XEP-0423</link>.
</para>
<para>
The NixOS Prosody module will implement most of these recommendend XEPs out of
the box. That being said, two components still require some
manual configuration: the
<link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html">Multi User Chat (MUC)</link>
and the <link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html">HTTP File Upload</link> ones.
You'll need to create a DNS subdomain for each of those. The current convention is to name your
MUC endpoint <literal>conference.example.org</literal> and your HTTP upload domain <literal>upload.example.org</literal>.
</para>
<para>
A good configuration to start with, including a
<link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html">Multi User Chat (MUC)</link>
endpoint as well as a <link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html">HTTP File Upload</link>
endpoint will look like this:
<programlisting>
services.prosody = {
<link linkend="opt-services.prosody.enable">enable</link> = true;
<link linkend="opt-services.prosody.admins">admins</link> = [ "root@example.org" ];

};

<title>Let's Encrypt Configuration</title>
<para>
As you can see in the code snippet from the
<link linkend="module-services-prosody-basic-usage">previous section</link>,
you'll need a single TLS certificate covering your main endpoint,
the MUC one as well as the HTTP Upload one. We can generate such a
certificate by leveraging the ACME
<link linkend="opt-security.acme.certs._name_.extraDomains">extraDomains</link> module option.
</para>
<para>
Provided the setup detailed in the previous section, you'll need the following acme configuration to generate
a TLS certificate for the three endponits:
<programlisting>
security.acme = {
<link linkend="opt-security.acme.email">email</link> = "root@example.org";
<link linkend="opt-security.acme.acceptTerms">acceptTerms</link> = true;
<link linkend="opt-security.acme.certs">certs</link> = {
"example.org" = {
<link linkend="opt-security.acme.certs._name_.webroot">webroot</link> = "/var/www/example.org";
<link linkend="opt-security.acme.certs._name_.email">email</link> = "root@example.org";
<link linkend="opt-security.acme.certs._name_.extraDomains">extraDomains."conference.example.org"</link> = null;
<link linkend="opt-security.acme.certs._name_.extraDomains">extraDomains."upload.example.org"</link> = null;
};
};
};</programlisting>
