How to Setup Your Own XMPP Server 

XMPP is definitely less bloated than my Smoke Signals setup.

Man the thumbnail game is on fire

Mental outlaw is legit the truth... I read two chapters on fuzzing and was like, wtf, less than two mins in Outlaw showed me the light. Thanks man, doing gods work out here in the trenches of RU-vid.

Finally! Thanks for making privacy more accesible!

The Death Star is now fully operational

Day two of asking kenny to make a video on the mozilla is made by the feds situation

a video on Matrix/Matrix Synapse and how it compares to XMPP would be neat

some demonstration of how should work, in an session, like text, attachments and so on, will be nice.

A note: Hashing doesn't work without specifying "authentication = internal_hashed" under the VirtualHost

Ran into prosidy xmpp the other day during a pentesting CTF. The version was obviously outdated but the most recent CVE had a rating of 7.5isb so make sure to update Prosidy (if you aren't in the habit of updating software regularly.) As always, great content. Always a good way to end my day, my nightly infosec resource for learning knew stuff. Thanks for what ya do for this community!

This guy is one step above everyone in choosing thumbnails

On the topic of server security, pretty much the first things I do on any of my servers is install fail2ban and change SSH from port 22. Here's a crazy anecdote, recently I had to reinstall one of my VPS' and after hitting reinstall I took my dog out for a 30 minute walk. I returned to an email with my SSH details, I fired up Putty, connected, signed in and the first thing CentOS did was inform me that there had been over 200 failed SSH login attempts since my last successful login (remember it was a fresh install so I had never logged in). Assuming a 10 minute reinstall time that means in 20 minutes of me leaving the server open on port 22 someone had port scanned me and tried to login to its secure shell over 200 times. Also remember, use CentOS for web based services since it comes OOTB preconfigured with firewall zones and rules applied. Ubuntu Server comes with UFW disabled and you have to manually create zones and rules before you enable it (otherwise it blocks port 22 which you're connected to). Firewalld also intergrates much nicer with Docker, it creates a docker zone for your docker networks automatically.

I wasn’t expecting a last second begonias grove reference thrown in there lol. Great video. Thanks!

Dude, you're awesome, this channel is pure gold

*finally*, i had no idea why pidgin wasn't working for the past 15 years :v

timing, my dude... recently searched on this and got myself a bit confus-ed

I literally configured a prosody server yesterday for work and now you upload a video nice! xD

I was just wondering how to set up my own XMPP server and boom...this video shows up. The algorithm gets me!

I fucking love you

This is something I've been after for a while, so thanks for the upload!

Just set one up myself, works great and was a neat experience!

Setting up your own messaging server at a VPS is also a practice that I think we should consider questioning. How much can you trust on the host, or the server ISP to "not be spooky"?

Yes, i’ve wanted this!

just found this channel, your videos are top notch

Yes, finally got a riscv64 Gentoo VM running. So happy right now. Btw good video

man I remember using Jabber on late 2000s German "scene" boards... what a vibe

how are your thumbnails consistently so good lol

Mannnn this videos are so based, great stuff

awesome channel man!!!

Who knew that my hours and hours of Lua in Gmod would actually be worth something

Thanks man!, Need this. Luke Smith would blabber how this is good and blah blah but he'd never how setup an xmpp server . You're the legit guy.

Been hosting since 2012. Love XMPP!

Your thumbnail game is on another level.

Tor Hidden Service + XMPP server sounds pretty op

woah thanks man, very cool

The very low dislikes shows how good his viewers are, They exactly know what they watching Mental outlaw rocks

Installing and using XAMP (the windows one) was so much fun back in university. Man, those were the days.

You've done lots of videos on setting up servers like this XMPP video and the VPN video and you've also talked a lot about how the only way to have secure email is to host it yourself. You should do a video on how to set up just a regular server to hold files and email and stuff, and maybe even how to register to get a domain. Basic things like setting up a server, hooking it up to a public or private network, making it secure, interfacing with it, etc.

matrix vs xmpp please, i am really waiting for this from guys like you

Could you do a video covering how to secure an envelope and pigeon? Or should I use hawk/raven?

Legendary thumbnail man

Finally! XMPP is the best

Appreciate your thumbnail game my dude

Nice thumbnail my guy

Great video, can’t wait to try it myself 👍

That thumbnail tho.. lit

Noice

Any thoughts on taking this and connecting it to a matrix server if you can?

"alphabet boys at weird parties where they worship Moloch" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 It's funny cuz it's true.

You don't need nginx (or any webserver) for this. Prosody runs on port 5222 by default and that's enough for chatting. Other features (like file uploads) are based on http protocol, but it is managed by the built-in http(s) server, default ports 5280/5281. Apache/nginx can be used for proxying these requests or for hosting a web client (e.g. converse.js) but they are not required.

So you are here because of "deepfake blackface channel" ?

Mental outlaw. If you could do a tutorial on how to setup a Gemini Capsula that would be great! I wanna go back to the good internet.

Hey whats your thoughts on SimpleX? Would you be able to do video about SimpleX from understanding of it, the privacy and anonymity is the best out there.

It's as the old saying goes; "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself."

Thanks Luke

can we get one on Matrix server setup as well?

Could you do a video about FreeBSD? Or just BSD in general...?

Got Instagram ad on this nice one RU-vid

Get down with XMPP, yeah you know me ♫

Can you post the nginx config? I got to that point in the video and I don't think you share the entire config.

This is an off topic question. Why do you use gentoo ? What specific thing/features do you use on gentoo that's not possible on Arch (for example) ?

I like the Moloch part

good this is

Breaking Glow

could you go through OTR with XMPP? Not sure if Profanity is a good service.

youtube have blocked age restricted videos on mpv. Do you now how to fix it for a windows normie like me?

What are the upsides of a XMPP server over a selfhosted IRC server apart from it being a more lightweight solution?

👏🙂

9:11 i'm using apache. there is no conf.d directory there. do i just create one at /etc/apache2/conf-enabled?????

I always wanted good privacy 😂

XMPP vs Matrix , XMPP is more documented if you want to host an hidden service on I2P or TOR

Sweet, ty. But now how do I get an anon Vps and domain with my wownero/monero👉👈🥺

terry davis

Will your ever make a video on a BSD distro?

why do you keep the spacers on the firebox bar bro

Glowies seething right now

Please do Matrix next!

That ending tho 🤣

I wrote my own IRC server in C in one week.

Eksem Peepee is a funny name tbqh 😳

When thumbnail creation takes more time than making the video

it's possible to setup on a domain with free space?

Can you do XMPP vs Matrix? 🙃

Make tutorial how to setup matrix api server.

Come here bucko

Mental outlaw are you on other platforms in case they get rid of your channel?

Indian government might ban e2e encryption chats So I do indeed plan to host a chat server

Why are so many governments using astraChat? I can't finde the source code for it? Is it even open source? I am confused

What about Matrix?

When will be the proton mail video?

The crying man is a fat emotion

Did this around 2015 on a raspberry PI 2B+, we used it like 3 times and then never again :(

Does anybody have any idea how to do this with a Tailscale Funnel? Just wondering if it was possible

No comparison to Jami (.net)?

UwU

can this is accessible in windows??😊

I'm looking for XMPP help files. Does anyone know where I can find some?

"worship Moloch" Just how based can a man be?

You could use matrix, if you want a federated server infrastructure

It's not bad, but it gets sketchy on mobile with the existing apps. At least back in 2015
