django-xmpp-account | Django application for Jabber account registration

Simply clone the project, setup a virtualenv and install the requirements:.
The database the project uses is configured by the DATABASES setting in xmppaccount/localsettings.py. Also see the official documentation for possible options. Make sure the database exists and the configured user has sufficient permissions, and simply execute:. ... to create all the databases tables.
There are many ways to run a standard WSGI application like this one. The WSGI file is located in xmppaccount/wsgi.py. For example, you might want to use mod_wsgi or uWSGI and nginx. uWSGI can also be used with Apache. NOTE: Unless you deactivate GPG support, we highly recommend you enable threading support.
django-xmpp-account sends out confirmation emails on any action. Emails can be encrypted if users upload their public key, but for emails to also be signed, you must generate a private key. You can simply do this with:. Where <hostname> is any of the hosts you configured in the XMPP_HOSTS settings. You must then manually add the key to the respective XMPP_HOSTS setting. The key is also saved to the static/ directory, so you must update your staticfiles with python manage.py collectstatic. WARNING: GPG is very strict about permissions to its configuration directory. Make sure the directory is owned and read/writeable only by the system user the webserver runs as. The genkey command must also be executed as that same user, which will also create the GPG config directory if it doesn't exist.
Celery is a distributed task queue. django-xmpp-account can use celery to send emails asynchronously. This is especially recommended if you enable GPG, since GPG operations can be quite slow and doing all GPG operations inside the WSGI process will result in long page load times. The downside is that if some GPG operations fail, no error message can be displayed anymore and the user will receive an unencrypted email instead. To enable Celery, just edit the relevant sections in your localsettings.py file. We strongly recommend using redis as a broker, on Debian/Ubuntu a simple apt-get install redis-server should suffice.
