stuebinm 84ac81435e hainich: hacky version of thelounge as webchat 
Intended for KontraIAA; requirements were that it should be a simple and
non-confusing as possible.

I tried both KiwiIRC and thelounge, and found both horrible to
package (a fact not helped by the somewhat opaque structure of
nixpkgs.nodePackages, which does contain a version of thelounge but
will apparently ignore overrides of the src attribute).

Instead, this now contains a very hacky version of thelounge, which
merely takes the already-built version from nixpkgs and glues some extra
css to it which hides potentially confusing fields.

Things hidden on the "connect" screen:
 - the "name" field (since thelounge offers "nick" "name" and "realname"
   by default, which seems too much for something embedded on a website)
 - the "I have a password" checkbox

Things hidden on the general view:
 - the button to open the side panel (the panel itself is not hidden,
   and will appear by itself on wider layouts), so that users will only
   see that one channel
 - the "channel options" menu (which includes a "leave channel" option
   which would effectively break the webchat)

Things not addressed:
 - thelounge has autocompletion for /join /leave, etc. Do we want to
   disable that as well?
 - It would probably useful to suppress all the "x joined the channel"
   messages. Thelounge supports this, but apparently doesn't support
   setting it as default?

Misc:
 - for now, users will be connected to #thelounge on libera.chat, which
   appears to be okay with being used as an experimental channel
 - I allowed prefetching link previews, but only on the server's side
   (i.e. users' browsers won't fetch content from arbitrary sites)
 - not yet tested on hainich, but should work (tested in a NixOS
   container)
 - currently assumes a "webchat.voc.hacc.space" domain (I think we had a
   voc domain? but I forgot where it is …)

hacc nixfiles

welcome to hacc nixfiles (haccfiles). this is the code describing our nix-based infrastructure.

structure

  • default.nix: Entrypoint to the config
  • common/: configuration common to all hosts
  • desktop/: desktop-relevant communication
  • modules/: home-grown modules for hacc-specific services
  • nix/: sources files, managed with niv
  • pkgs/: packages we built and don't want to upstream

working with the haccfiles

deploy:

nix build -f . deploy.$hostname && ./result switch

$hostname can be replaced with any hostname or group

committing to haccfiles

  • Golden Rule: DO NOT COMMIT TO MAIN
    • exceptions apply, if you are not sure where to commit, don't commit to main
  • split up commits, every commit is one atomic change
    • e.g. no big "did some changes" but instead "updated service x", "updated service y", "update service z"
  • follow the commit format: "$prefix$place: $change"
    • prefix: one of fixup, nothing
    • place: one of "modules/$module", "$hostname/service", "common/($place)", "pkgs/$pkgs" or "sources"
    • change: describe your change, don't go over the character limit where git starts hiding/wrapping
  • Exception: autogenerated messages (merge commits, reverts, etc)
