This is the deployment documentation for support.torproject.org.

Configs

Apache2

Config location: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

Example config: ​https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Phoul/2c4131153cd9f024f7ef/raw/65f272d564f605b6b2224880144e7b092acf22b7/apache2

Redirecting the BOSH port(as shown in the config above) is required for pups to function correctly. An example config has been provided above, and will be updated with the running config once it is deployed.

Prosody

Config location: /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua Mod location: /usr/lib/prosody/modules/

Example config: ​https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Phoul/e8438e9169dacbf43f34/raw/e1ddb3cde25bae4da0cb919010b1eddc3c70b763/prosody.cfg.lua

The main configuration for Prosody is enabling the BOSH module, as well as having two vhosts (one for anonymous XMPP, and one for authenticated). An example config has been provided above, and will be updated with the running config once it is deployed. For pups to function correctly, you also need to install the "mod_auto_accept_subscriptions" Prosody module.
