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 …)		2021-08-23 19:32:02 +00:00

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)
