xmpp-http-upload

About

A small external http upload server compatible with prosody and ejabberd configurations. It currently covers the following features:

• Block mime types
• Remove files when they exceed a time delta
• Logging traffic
• Saves metadata in a small database (CBOR serialized table)
• Switch between implementation versions

Prerequisites

A Dash installation for the installation script. A Rust installation of version 1.70 or higher.

Automatic Installation

This will compile and install automatically for you, but you need to set the log path to match your configuration in scripts/install.sh and scripts/uninstall.sh, otherwise you can still create/remove the directory yourself.

Note:
This will install the binary in '/usr/bin/'. If you cross-compile, you need to copy the binary to 'target/release/xmpp-http-upload' to use the automatic installation.

Run to install:

sudo sh install.sh install

If you want to uninstall:

sudo sh install.sh uninstall

Build

Note:
You don't need this if you use the installation script

Download the repository using git:

git clone https://gitlab.com/nyovaya/xmpp-http-upload

Enter the directory

cd xmpp-http-upload

Compile the server

cargo build --release

If you need to Cross-Compile.

Starting the service

Then you can(with systemd):

systemctl start xmpp-http-upload

Otherwise this:

/usr/bin/xmpp-http-upload

And to exit again:

kill prep xmpp-http-upload

XMPP Setup

This depends on your XMPP server software and should be looked up in the corresponding documentation.

Prosody

See the following website, how the configuration works in Prosody.

Ejabberd

Use the following lines in your Ejabberd config file:

mod_http_upload:
  put_url: "https://your-upload-url.here"
  external_secret: "secret"
