# go-sendxmpp
## about
A little tool to send messages to an XMPP contact or MUC inspired by [sendxmpp](https://sendxmpp.hostname.sk/).
You can find other sendxmpp alternatives in the [XSF wiki](https://wiki.xmpp.org/web/User:MDosch/Sendxmpp_incarnations).
## support
You might join the [chat](https://join.jabber.network/#go-sendxmpp@chat.mdosch.de?join) if you have problems,
want to contribute or just want to talk about the project. You might also talk about any of the other
sendxmpp incarnations. :)

## requirements
* [go](https://golang.org/)
## installation
### repositories including go-sendxmpp
[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/go:sendxmpp.svg)](https://repology.org/project/go:sendxmpp/versions)
### manual installation
#### Go < 1.16
```plain
$ go get -u salsa.debian.org/mdosch/go-sendxmpp
```
#### Go >= 1.16
```plain
$ go install salsa.debian.org/mdosch/go-sendxmpp@latest
```
You will find the binary in `$GOPATH/bin` or, if set, `$GOBIN`.
## usage
You can either pipe a programs output to `go-sendxmpp`, write in your terminal (put \^D in a new
line to finish) or send the input from a file (`-m` or `--message`).
The account data is expected at `~/.config/go-sendxmpp/sendxmpprc` if no other configuration file location
is specified with `-f` or `--file`. The configuration file is expected to be in the following format:
```plain
username: <your_jid>
password: <your_jabber_password>
```
If this is not sufficient to connect you might also specify `jserver` and `port`. It is also possible to
use a password manager. In this case the `password` setting should be replaced by the `eval_password`
setting:
```
eval_password: <command_to_unlock_your_password>
```
You can also configure the resource (and nickname for MUCs) via the `resource` setting:
```
resource: <my_resourceY>
```
If no configuration file is present or if the values should be overridden it is possible to define
the account details via command line options:
```plain
Usage: go-sendxmpp [-cdintx] [-f value] [--help] [--http-upload value] [-j value] [-m value] [-p value] [-r value] [-u value] [parameters ...]
-c, --chatroom Send message to a chatroom.
-d, --debug Show debugging info.
-f, --file=value Set configuration file. (Default: ~/.sendxmpprc)
--help Show help.
--http-upload=value
Send a file via http-upload.
-i, --interactive Interactive mode (for use with e.g. 'tail -f').
-j, --jserver=value
XMPP server address.
-m, --message=value
Set file including the message.
-n, --no-tls-verify
Skip verification of TLS certificates (not recommended).
-p, --password=value
Password for XMPP account.
--raw Send raw XML
-r, --resource=value
Set resource. When sending to a chatroom this is used as
'alias'.
-t, --tls Use direct TLS.
-u, --username=value
Username for XMPP account.
-x, --start-tls Use StartTLS. (DEPRECATED)
```

```bash
cat message.txt | ./go-sendxmpp -u bob@example.com -j example.com -p swordfish recipient1@example.com recipient2@example.com
```
Send a message to two groupchats (`-c`) using a configuration file.
```bash
cat message.txt | ./go-sendxmpp -cf ./sendxmpp chat1@conference.example.com chat2@conference.example.com
```
Send file changes to two groupchats (`-c`) using a configuration file.
```bash
tail -f example.log | ./go-sendxmpp -cif ./sendxmpp chat1@conference.example.com chat2@conference.example.com
```
