GO-SENDXMPP(5)

NAME
go-sendxmpp - A tool to send messages to an XMPP contact or MUC.

LOCATION
The account data is expected at ~/.config/go-sendxmpp/config (preferred), ~/.config/go-sendxmpp/sendxmpprc (deprecated) or ~/.sendxmpprc (for compatibility with the original perl sendxmpp) if no other configuration file location is specified with -f or --file. The configuration file is expected to be in the following format:

FORMAT
username: [your_jid]
jserver: [jabber_server]
port: [jabber_port]
password: [your_jabber_password]
eval_password: [command_to_unlock_your_password]
alias: [your_alias]
allow_plain: [bool]

REQUIRED SETTINGS
If all necessary settings are supplied as command line arguments no config file is needed at all. Setting jserver and port might not be necessary depending on the used server.
You should either use a password manager and the setting eval_password or add your password in plaintext to the config file with the setting password. Please be careful with eval_password as any command put there will be executed.

OPTIONS

username
    Your JID, e.g. user@example.com.

jserver
    Your server, e.g. xmpp.example.com. Should not be necessary if the server is set up properly.

port
    The client-to-server port of the XMPP server, e.g. 5222. Should not be necessary if the server is set up properly.

password
    Your accounts password, e.g. hunter2 (please, do not use hunter2). Use " if your password contains spaces, e.g. "hunter 2" (please, also do not use hunter 2).

eval_password
    A command to retrieve the password from a password manager, e.g. pass xmpp/user@example.com.

alias
    The alias/nickname for chatrooms, e.g. Martin or "My nick contains spaces".

allow_plain
    Boolean to allow PLAIN authentication. Note that this setting has no effect if there was a successful connection using a SCRAM authentication mechanism before. In that case PLAIN is not allowed to prevent downgrades by a man-in-the-middle attack.
    Allowed values: true/false (Default: false)
