Enabling presence
Dendrite supports presence, which allows you to send your online/offline status to other users, and to receive their statuses automatically. They will be displayed by supported clients.
Note that enabling presence can negatively impact the performance of your Dendrite server — it will require more CPU time and will increase the "chattiness" of your server over federation. It is disabled by default for this reason.
Dendrite has two options for controlling presence:
- Enable inbound presence: Dendrite will handle presence updates for remote users and distribute them to local users on your homeserver;
- Enable outbound presence: Dendrite will generate presence notifications for your local users and distribute them to remote users over the federation.
This means that you can configure only one or other direction if you prefer, i.e. to receive presence from other servers without revealing the presence of your own users.
Configuring presence
Presence is controlled by the presence
block in the global
section of the
configuration file:
global:
# ...
presence:
enable_inbound: false
enable_outbound: false
