@deffn {Scheme Variable} opensmtpd-service-type
This is the type of the @uref{https://www.opensmtpd.org, OpenSMTPD}
service, whose value should be an @code{opensmtpd-configuration} object
as in this example:

@example
(service opensmtpd-service-type
         (opensmtpd-configuration
           (config-file (local-file "./my-smtpd.conf"))))
@end example

@node Messaging Services
@subsubsection Messaging Services

@cindex messaging
@cindex jabber
@cindex XMPP
The @code{(gnu services messaging)} module provides Guix service
definitions for messaging services: currently only Prosody is supported.

@subsubheading Prosody Service

@deffn {Scheme Variable} prosody-service-type
This is the type for the @uref{http://prosody.im, Prosody XMPP
communication server}.  Its value must be a @code{prosody-configuration}
record as in this example:

@example
(service prosody-service-type
         (prosody-configuration
          (modules-enabled (cons "groups" %default-modules-enabled))
          (int-components
           (list
            (int-component-configuration
             (hostname "conference.example.net")
             (plugin "muc")
             (mod-muc (mod-muc-configuration)))))
          (virtualhosts
           (list
            (virtualhost-configuration
             (domain "example.net"))))))
@end example

See below for details about @code{prosody-configuration}.

@end deffn

By default, Prosody does not need much configuration.  Only one
@code{virtualhosts} field is needed: it specifies the domain you wish
Prosody to serve.

Prosodyctl will help you generate X.509 certificates and keys:

@example
prosodyctl cert request example.net
@end example

The available configuration parameters follow.  Each parameter
definition is preceded by its type; for example, @samp{string-list foo}
indicates that the @code{foo} parameter should be specified as a list of
strings.  Types starting with @code{maybe-} denote parameters that won't
show up in @code{prosody.cfg.lua} when their value is @code{'disabled}.

There is also a way to specify the configuration as a string, if you
have an old @code{prosody.cfg.lua} file that you want to port over from
some other system; see the end for more details.

@c The following documentation was initially generated by
@c (generate-documentation) in (gnu services messaging).  Manually maintained
@c documentation is better, so we shouldn't hesitate to edit below as
@c needed.  However if the change you want to make to this documentation
@c can be done in an automated way, it's probably easier to change
@c (generate-documentation) than to make it below and have to deal with
@c the churn as Prosody updates.

Available @code{prosody-configuration} fields are:

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} package prosody
The Prosody package.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} file-name data-path

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} boolean s2s-require-encryption?
Whether to force all server-to-server connections to be encrypted or not.
See @url{http://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_tls}.
Defaults to @samp{#f}.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} boolean s2s-secure-auth?
Whether to require encryption and certificate authentication.  This
provides ideal security, but requires servers you communicate with to support
encryption AND present valid, trusted certificates.  See
@url{http://prosody.im/doc/s2s#security}.
Defaults to @samp{#f}.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} string-list s2s-insecure-domains
Many servers don't support encryption or have invalid or self-signed
certificates.  You can list domains here that will not be required to
authenticate using certificates.  They will be authenticated using DNS.  See
@url{http://prosody.im/doc/s2s#security}.
Defaults to @samp{()}.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} string-list s2s-secure-domains
Even if you leave @code{s2s-secure-auth?} disabled, you can still require
valid certificates for some domains by specifying a list here.  See
@url{http://prosody.im/doc/s2s#security}.
Defaults to @samp{()}.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} string authentication
Select the authentication backend to use.  The default provider stores
passwords in plaintext and uses Prosody's configured data storage to store the
authentication data.  If you do not trust your server please see

Defaults to @samp{"/var/run/prosody/prosody.pid"}.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} virtualhost-configuration-list virtualhosts
A host in Prosody is a domain on which user accounts can be created.  For
example if you want your users to have addresses like
@samp{"john.smith@@example.com"} then you need to add a host
@samp{"example.com"}.  All options in this list will apply only to this host.

Note: the name "virtual" host is used in configuration to avoid confusion with
the actual physical host that Prosody is installed on.  A single Prosody
instance can serve many domains, each one defined as a VirtualHost entry in
Prosody's configuration.  Conversely a server that hosts a single domain would
have just one VirtualHost entry.

See @url{http://prosody.im/doc/configure#virtual_host_settings}.

Available @code{virtualhost-configuration} fields are:

all these @code{prosody-configuration} fields: @code{admins}, @code{use-libevent?}, @code{modules-enabled}, @code{modules-disabled}, @code{groups-file}, @code{allow-registration?}, @code{ssl}, @code{c2s-require-encryption?}, @code{s2s-require-encryption?}, @code{s2s-secure-auth?}, @code{s2s-insecure-domains}, @code{s2s-secure-domains}, @code{authentication}, @code{log}, plus:

Domain you wish Prosody to serve.
@end deftypevr

@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} int-component-configuration-list int-components
Components are extra services on a server which are available to clients,
usually on a subdomain of the main server (such as
@samp{"mycomponent.example.com"}).  Example components might be chatroom
servers, user directories, or gateways to other protocols.

Internal components are implemented with Prosody-specific plugins.  To add an
internal component, you simply fill the hostname field, and the plugin you wish
to use for the component.

See @url{http://prosody.im/doc/components}.
Defaults to @samp{()}.

Available @code{int-component-configuration} fields are:

all these @code{prosody-configuration} fields: @code{admins}, @code{use-libevent?}, @code{modules-enabled}, @code{modules-disabled}, @code{groups-file}, @code{allow-registration?}, @code{ssl}, @code{c2s-require-encryption?}, @code{s2s-require-encryption?}, @code{s2s-secure-auth?}, @code{s2s-insecure-domains}, @code{s2s-secure-domains}, @code{authentication}, @code{log}, plus:
@deftypevr {@code{int-component-configuration} parameter} string hostname
Hostname of the component.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{int-component-configuration} parameter} string plugin
Plugin you wish to use for the component.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{int-component-configuration} parameter} maybe-mod-muc-configuration mod-muc
Multi-user chat (MUC) is Prosody's module for allowing you to create
hosted chatrooms/conferences for XMPP users.

General information on setting up and using multi-user chatrooms can be found
in the "Chatrooms" documentation (@url{http://prosody.im/doc/chatrooms}),
which you should read if you are new to XMPP chatrooms.

See also @url{http://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_muc}.

Available @code{mod-muc-configuration} fields are:

@deftypevr {@code{mod-muc-configuration} parameter} string name
The name to return in service discovery responses.
Defaults to @samp{"Prosody Chatrooms"}.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{mod-muc-configuration} parameter} string-or-boolean restrict-room-creation
If @samp{#t}, this will only allow admins to create new chatrooms.
Otherwise anyone can create a room.  The value @samp{"local"} restricts room
creation to users on the service's parent domain.  E.g. @samp{user@@example.com}
can create rooms on @samp{rooms.example.com}.  The value @samp{"admin"}
restricts to service administrators only.
Defaults to @samp{#f}.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{mod-muc-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer max-history-messages
Maximum number of history messages that will be sent to the member that has
just joined the room.
Defaults to @samp{20}.
@end deftypevr

@end deftypevr

@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} ext-component-configuration-list ext-components
External components use XEP-0114, which most standalone components
support.  To add an external component, you simply fill the hostname field.  See
@url{http://prosody.im/doc/components}.
Defaults to @samp{()}.

Available @code{ext-component-configuration} fields are:

all these @code{prosody-configuration} fields: @code{admins}, @code{use-libevent?}, @code{modules-enabled}, @code{modules-disabled}, @code{groups-file}, @code{allow-registration?}, @code{ssl}, @code{c2s-require-encryption?}, @code{s2s-require-encryption?}, @code{s2s-secure-auth?}, @code{s2s-insecure-domains}, @code{s2s-secure-domains}, @code{authentication}, @code{log}, plus:
@deftypevr {@code{ext-component-configuration} parameter} string component-secret
Password which the component will use to log in.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{ext-component-configuration} parameter} string hostname
Hostname of the component.
@end deftypevr

@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} non-negative-integer-list component-ports
Port(s) Prosody listens on for component connections.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{prosody-configuration} parameter} string component-interface
Interface Prosody listens on for component connections.
Defaults to @samp{"127.0.0.1"}.
@end deftypevr

It could be that you just want to get a @code{prosody.cfg.lua}
up and running.  In that case, you can pass an
@code{opaque-prosody-configuration} record as the value of
@code{prosody-service-type}.  As its name indicates, an opaque configuration
does not have easy reflective capabilities.
Available @code{opaque-prosody-configuration} fields are:

@deftypevr {@code{opaque-prosody-configuration} parameter} package prosody
The prosody package.
@end deftypevr

@deftypevr {@code{opaque-prosody-configuration} parameter} string prosody.cfg.lua
The contents of the @code{prosody.cfg.lua} to use.
@end deftypevr

For example, if your @code{prosody.cfg.lua} is just the empty
string, you could instantiate a prosody service like this:

@example
(service prosody-service-type
         (opaque-prosody-configuration
          (prosody.cfg.lua "")))
@end example

@node Kerberos Services
@subsubsection Kerberos Services
@cindex Kerberos

The @code{(gnu services kerberos)} module provides services relating to
the authentication protocol @dfn{Kerberos}.

@subsubheading Krb5 Service

Programs using a Kerberos client library normally
expect a configuration file in @file{/etc/krb5.conf}.
This service generates such a file from a definition provided in the
operating system declaration.
It does not cause any daemon to be started.

No ``keytab'' files are provided by this service---you must explicitly create them.
This service is known to work with the MIT client library, @code{mit-krb5}.
Other implementations have not been tested.

@defvr {Scheme Variable} krb5-service-type
A service type for Kerberos 5 clients.
@end defvr

@noindent
Here is an example of its use:
@lisp
(service krb5-service-type
         (krb5-configuration
          (default-realm "EXAMPLE.COM")
          (allow-weak-crypto? #t)
          (realms (list
                   (krb5-realm
                    (name "EXAMPLE.COM")
                    (admin-server "groucho.example.com")
                    (kdc "karl.example.com"))
                   (krb5-realm
                    (name "ARGRX.EDU")
                    (admin-server "kerb-admin.argrx.edu")
                    (kdc "keys.argrx.edu"))))))
@end lisp

@noindent
This example provides a Kerberos@tie{}5 client configuration which:
@itemize
@item Recognizes two realms, @i{viz:} ``EXAMPLE.COM'' and ``ARGRX.EDU'', both
of which have distinct administration servers and key distribution centers;
@item Will default to the realm ``EXAMPLE.COM'' if the realm is not explicitly
specified by clients;
@item Accepts services which only support encryption types known to be weak.
@end itemize

The @code{krb5-realm} and @code{krb5-configuration} types have many fields.
Only the most commonly used ones are described here.
For a full list, and more detailed explanation of each, see the MIT
@uref{http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/krb5-devel/doc/admin/conf_files/krb5_conf.html,,krb5.conf}
documentation.


@deftp {Data Type} krb5-realm
@cindex realm, kerberos
@table @asis
@item @code{name}
This field is a string identifying the name of the realm.
A common convention is to use the fully qualified DNS name of your organization,
converted to upper case.

@item @code{admin-server}
This field is a string identifying the host where the administration server is
running.

@item @code{kdc}
This field is a string identifying the key distribution center
for the realm.
@end table
@end deftp

@deftp {Data Type} krb5-configuration

@table @asis
@item @code{allow-weak-crypto?} (default: @code{#f})
If this flag is @code{#t} then services which only offer encryption algorithms
known to be weak will be accepted.

@item @code{default-realm} (default: @code{#f})
This field should be a string identifying the default Kerberos
realm for the client.
You should set this field to the name of your Kerberos realm.
If this value is @code{#f}
then a realm must be specified with every Kerberos principal when invoking programs
such as @command{kinit}.

@item @code{realms}
This should be a non-empty list of @code{krb5-realm} objects, which clients may
access.
Normally, one of them will have a @code{name} field matching the @code{default-realm}
field.
@end table
@end deftp


@subsubheading PAM krb5 Service
@cindex pam-krb5

The @code{pam-krb5} service allows for login authentication and password
management via Kerberos.
You will need this service if you want PAM enabled applications to authenticate
users using Kerberos.

@defvr {Scheme Variable} pam-krb5-service-type
A service type for the Kerberos 5 PAM module.
@end defvr

@deftp {Data Type} pam-krb5-configuration
Data type representing the configuration of the Kerberos 5 PAM module
This type has the following parameters:
@table @asis
@item @code{pam-krb5} (default: @code{pam-krb5})
The pam-krb5 package to use.

@item @code{minimum-uid} (default: @code{1000})
The smallest user ID for which Kerberos authentications should be attempted.
Local accounts with lower values will silently fail to authenticate.
@end table
@end deftp


@node Web Services
@subsubsection Web Services

@cindex web
@cindex www
@cindex HTTP
The @code{(gnu services web)} module provides the following service:

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} nginx-service [#:nginx nginx] @
       [#:log-directory ``/var/log/nginx''] @
       [#:run-directory ``/var/run/nginx''] @
       [#:server-list '()] @
       [#:upstream-list '()] @
       [#:config-file @code{#f}]

Return a service that runs @var{nginx}, the nginx web server.

The nginx daemon loads its runtime configuration from @var{config-file}.
Log files are written to @var{log-directory} and temporary runtime data
files are written to @var{run-directory}.  For proper operation, these
arguments should match what is in @var{config-file} to ensure that the
directories are created when the service is activated.

As an alternative to using a @var{config-file}, @var{server-list} can be
used to specify the list of @dfn{server blocks} required on the host and
@var{upstream-list} can be used to specify a list of @dfn{upstream
blocks} to configure.  For this to work, use the default value for
@var{config-file}.

@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Variable} nginx-service-type
This is type for the nginx web server.

This service can be extended to add server blocks in addition to the
default one, as in this example:

@example
(simple-service 'my-extra-server nginx-service-type
                (list (nginx-server-configuration
                        (https-port #f)
                        (root "/srv/http/extra-website"))))
@end example
@end deffn

@deftp {Data Type} nginx-server-configuration
Data type representing the configuration of an nginx server block.
This type has the following parameters:

@table @asis
@item @code{http-port} (default: @code{80})
Nginx will listen for HTTP connection on this port.  Set it at @code{#f} if
nginx should not listen for HTTP (non secure) connection for this
@dfn{server block}.

@item @code{https-port} (default: @code{443})
Nginx will listen for HTTPS connection on this port.  Set it at @code{#f} if
nginx should not listen for HTTPS (secure) connection for this @dfn{server block}.

Note that nginx can listen for HTTP and HTTPS connections in the same
@dfn{server block}.

@item @code{server-name} (default: @code{(list 'default)})
A list of server names this server represents. @code{'default} represents the
default server for connections matching no other server.

@item @code{root} (default: @code{"/srv/http"})
Root of the website nginx will serve.

@item @code{locations} (default: @code{'()})
A list of @dfn{nginx-location-configuration} or
@dfn{nginx-named-location-configuration} records to use within this
server block.

@item @code{index} (default: @code{(list "index.html")})
Index files to look for when clients ask for a directory.  If it cannot be found,
Nginx will send the list of files in the directory.

@item @code{ssl-certificate} (default: @code{"/etc/nginx/cert.pem"})
Where to find the certificate for secure connections.  Set it to @code{#f} if
you don't have a certificate or you don't want to use HTTPS.

@item @code{ssl-certificate-key} (default: @code{"/etc/nginx/key.pem"})
Where to find the private key for secure connections.  Set it to @code{#f} if
you don't have a key or you don't want to use HTTPS.

@item @code{server-tokens?} (default: @code{#f})
Whether the server should add its configuration to response.

@end table
@end deftp

@node VPN Services
@subsubsection VPN Services
@cindex VPN (virtual private network)
@cindex virtual private network (VPN)

The @code{(gnu services vpn)} module provides services related to
@dfn{virtual private networks} (VPNs).  It provides a @emph{client} service for
your machine to connect to a VPN, and a @emph{servire} service for your machine
to host a VPN.  Both services use @uref{https://openvpn.net/, OpenVPN}.

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} openvpn-client-service @
       [#:config (openvpn-client-configuration)]

Return a service that runs @command{openvpn}, a VPN daemon, as a client.
@end deffn

@deffn {Scheme Procedure} openvpn-server-service @
       [#:config (openvpn-server-configuration)]

Return a service that runs @command{openvpn}, a VPN daemon, as a server.

Both can be run simultaneously.
