Should now also work with MetronomeIM #65

Closed poVoq closed 6 years ago

poVoq commented 6 years ago

See: https://github.com/maranda/metronome/issues/386

Metronome is a much diverged fork of Prosody with some arguably better usability and full support for platforms like Movim. It has recently picked up development again.

Thanks! Is MetronomeIM already mature enough to present it as an alternative to Prosody in the docs?

What are the main changes to mod_auth_external between Prosody and MetronomeIM? The history only lists maranda's changes.

At least some of the Prosody/mod_auth_external problems are due to lua-lpty. Getting rid of this would make things more stable.

In the past weeks, I have become a fan of socket activation, which is really powerful in systemd (better support for it is currently implemented in a private branch). Would that be an incentive to move away from process launching to socket activation? (I considered writing mod_auth_socket, but then went for the smaller changes in 0ca3a47b1dd).

From an end-user perspective Metronome is probably more mature than Prosody, but it lacks some of the customization options Prosody has.

Sorry, for the technical details you need to ask @maranda

It's just a simple backport of the module to be compatible with Metronome API, it still relies on lpty, so if there're issues with that, they'll probably still be there although using a version that does support non-blocking calls of lpty should ease the issues me thinks.

Thanks for the work and the update. Keep up the good work :+1:
