      Movim Post Comments and Yunohost - Fix

    If you're using Yunohost, Movim, and one of the free domain names supplied when you set up Yunohost, here are some quick steps to fix an issue of Movim generating additional pubsub nodes with each comment.

    For a bit of background, Movim looks for a pubsub service called comments.server.tld, otherwise it will create a new node on the original publishing PubSub service for each comment... So, for example on pubsub.do.nohost.me, it was generating urn:xmpp... for each comment..

    Annoying.

    The fix I used on my Yunohost deployment was to add an additional domain, but this requires the commandline interface, as the web version has a hissy fit (at least it did for me)..

    After SSH'ing onto your server (or accessing a terminal directly if you're able), run:

    yunohost domain add _comments.server.tld_

    yunohost diagnosis run

    yunohost domain cert-install _comments.servcer.tld_ - This will install a Let's Encrypt certificate

    Obviously, you'll need to use sudo for the above commands if you're logged in as a non-root user.

    After the dyndns has had some time to do it's thing, Movim will hopefully start to use the new comments domain to capture any post comments... (Fingers Crossed)..
