This is, -technically not a git-annex special remote (large files are not transferred -over XMPP; only git commits are sent). - -Typically XMPP will be set up using the web app, but here's how a manual -set up could be accomplished: - -1. xmpp login credentials need to be stored in `.git/annex/creds/xmpp`. - Obviously this file should be mode 600. An example file: - - XMPPCreds {xmppUsername = "joeyhess", xmppPassword = "xxxx", xmppHostname = "xmpp.l.google.com.", xmppPort = 5222, xmppJID = "joeyhess@gmail.com"} - -2. A git remote is created using a special url, of the form `xmpp::user@host` - For the above example, it would be `url = xmpp::joeyhess@gmail.com` - -3. The uuid of one of the other clients using XMPP should be configured - using the `annex.uuid` setting, the same as is set up for other remotes. - -With the above configuration, the [[assistant]] will use xmpp remotes much as -any other git remote. Since XMPP requires a client that is continually running -to see incoming pushes, the XMPP remote cannot be used with git at the -command line. - -## XMPP server support status -[[!table data=""" -Provider|Status|Type|Notes -[[Gmail|http://gmail.com]]|Working|?|Google Apps: [setup your SRV records](http://www.olark.com/gtalk/check_srv) or configure `.git/annex/creds/xmpp` manually -[[Coderollers|http://www.coderollers.com/xmpp-server/]]|Working|[[Openfire|http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/]] -[[jabber.me|http://jabber.me/]]|Working|[[Tigase|http://www.tigase.org/]] -[[xmpp.ru.net|https://www.xmpp.ru.net]]|Working|[[jabberd2|http://jabberd2.org/]] -[[jabber.org|http://jabber.org]]|Working|[[Isode M-Link|http://www.isode.com/products/m-link.html]] --|Working|[[Prosody|http://prosody.im/]]|No providers tested. --|Working|[[Metronome|http://www.lightwitch.org/]]|No providers tested. --|[[Failing|http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/XMPP_authentication_failure/]]|ejabberd|[[Authentication bug|https://support.process-one.net/browse/EJAB-1632]]: Fixed in debian unstable (>= 2.1.10-5) and stable (>=2.1.10-4+deb7u1) --|[[Failing|http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/XMPP_authentication_failure/#comment-4ce5aeabd12ca3016290b3d8255f6ef1]]|jabberd14|No further information -"""]] -List of providers: [[http://xmpp.net/]] - -See also: [[xmpp_protocol_design_notes|design/assistant/xmpp]] +XMPP (Jabber) used to be able to be used by the [[assistant]] as a git remote. +This never worked very well, and it was not entirely secure, since the XMPP +server saw the contents of git pushes without encryption.
