This allows an operator (via Prometheus, or eventually the web portal) to keep
tabs on how many people are using the server, e.g. to assist with capacity
planning. This will become more important once we allow user-to-user account
invitations.
This records a timestamp of various account events - account registration
time, last connection and last disconnection.
In the future I would like to keep a time-limited record of account activity
so we can also present it to the user for security purposes (e.g. detecting
account compromise and access by third-parties). That will need additional
design work to figure out how to do it in a privacy-preserving way.
This avoids the app needing to gain logic to opt-in to push notifications.
Such logic may be fragile, and introduce additional traffic and round-trips
that would hurt performance.
Note that this will trigger pushes even to users who only use Android or
non-mobile devices. That should cause no issues, and the impact would be
minor. Also considering that non-iOS devices usually remain online most of the
time anyway.
Not accounted for in this commit is the MUC notification filtering side of
things. By default the MUC will push all messages, and
mod_cloud_notify(_filters) will allow all of them through to the device unless
the user explicitly configures otherwise within the app.
If the server can detect whether a MUC is public or private, it can make the
default behaviour more sensible (maybe when adding bookmarks or something?).
In any case, public channels are not a primary use-case for Snikket and can
easily be configured manually in the app for now.
This requires mod_measure_process loaded and a recent version
of mod_http_admin_api to expose the metrics to the web portal in
a reduced and specialized form.
- Fix room destruction of circle rooms when circle is deleted or
fails to be created (fixes#17)
- Add circle rooms to bookmarks of (newly added) members
(fixes#16)
This simplifies things in preparation for adding coturn and its large
number of ports.
As Prosody now must listen on the "real" HTTP ports, we had to give
permission to the Lua binary to bind low network ports.
