Web Client and web based support chat back online

The Web Client and the web based support chat are back online. Many people asked for the Web Client, so I took some time to bring it back to life yesterday. Have fun! ;-)

Pre-registration, not re-registration

Some people misunderstood the new pre-registration for our transport services. So we want to make this clear:

You do not have to use this if you already have an transport account! But if you want to create a new account, you have to pre-register first.

Pre-registration for transports

Due to heavy bot and spam we just activated a pre-registration for most of our transport services. Thank you very much to Zash for this quick-n-dirty and well-working Prosody module.

From now on you have to make a pre-registration on this website before you can register to one of our transports by using your Jabber client. This pre-registration record is valid for 10 minutes, after that you would have to use our web form again.

Next to closing in-band registration for Jabber accounts this really seems to be necessary. Sorry about that…

We just updated our web register form to work with Prosody.

Due to many spam and bot registrations public in-band registration is turned off again on our server.

First status information after migration

Ok, the main virtual host jabber.hot-chilli.net and all private virtual hosts moved to the new server today. Also the website and the transport data.

“Transport data” because the transports itself do not run, yet. We need some help from Spectrum maintainers – maybe there is something basicly wrong with the new config files or Spectrum 2 is still too buggy. We will see. Until then please stay tuned and be patient – we do not want to have the transports offline for a long time, but it can take some days.

Also Prosody is having some issues on which we are working hard, especially the maintainer of Prosody, MattJ. Our server is having a lot of load, also “crazy” users ;-) and a Debian system which seems to create more problems with Prosody than other Linux distributions. So if the Jabber server itself is offline from time to time in the next days, we are working on it.
