Description

The xmpp_server role deploys and configures Prosody Prosody XMPP server. At the moment the role is restricted to the 0.10.x version of the package. However, this is a rather old version, and the officially maintained version is currently 0.11.x. It would be beneficial to upgrade Prosody to latest available version by default.

Prosody 0.11.x is written for Lua 5.2. The role itself sets-up the server to use an LDAP directory for authentication/authorisation purposes via the lua-ldap library. However, this library is available under Debian Stretch (supported by Majic Ansible Roles) only for Lua 5.1. Therefore it would be necessary to pull-in additional packages on Debian Stretch from the backports repository for this to work.

The following should be done:

  • Update the xmpp_server role.
    • Install lua-ldap from the Debian Stretch backports repository.
    • Default to using Prosody 0.11.x.
    • Update/modernise configuration if relevant.
    • Update all the relevant tests.
    • Try to keep compatibility with Prosody 0.10.x if possible (for testing of optional parameter xmpp_prosody_package).
  • Update role reference documentation.
  • Update usage instructions (if package version is mentioned).
  • Update release notes.
