+  <title>Basic usage</title>
+
+  <para>
+    A common struggle for most XMPP newcomers is to find the right set
+    of XMPP Extensions (XEPs) to setup. Forget to activate a few of
+    those and your XMPP experience might turn into a nightmare!
+  </para>
+
+  <para>
+    The XMPP community tackles this problem by creating a meta-XEP
+    listing a decent set of XEPs you should implement. This meta-XEP
+    is issued every year, the 2020 edition being
+    <link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0423.html">XEP-0423</link>.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    The NixOS Prosody module will implement most of these recommendend XEPs out of
+    the box. That being said, two components still require some
+    manual configuration: the
+    <link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html">Multi User Chat (MUC)</link>
+    and the <link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html">HTTP File Upload</link> ones.
+    You'll need to create a DNS subdomain for each of those. The current convention is to name your
+    MUC endpoint <literal>conference.example.org</literal> and your HTTP upload domain <literal>upload.example.org</literal>.
+  </para>
+  <para>
+    A good configuration to start with, including a
+    <link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html">Multi User Chat (MUC)</link>
+    endpoint as well as a <link xlink:href="https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0363.html">HTTP File Upload</link>
+    endpoint will look like this:
+    <programlisting>

+  <title>Let's Encrypt Configuration</title>
+ <para>
+   As you can see in the code snippet from the
+   <link linkend="module-services-prosody-basic-usage">previous section</link>,
+   you'll need a single TLS certificate covering your main endpoint,
+   the MUC one as well as the HTTP Upload one. We can generate such a
+   certificate by leveraging the ACME
+   <link linkend="opt-security.acme.certs._name_.extraDomainNames">extraDomainNames</link> module option.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+   Provided the setup detailed in the previous section, you'll need the following acme configuration to generate
+   a TLS certificate for the three endponits:
+    <programlisting>
+security.acme = {
+  <link linkend="opt-security.acme.defaults.email">email</link> = "root@example.org";
+  <link linkend="opt-security.acme.acceptTerms">acceptTerms</link> = true;
+  <link linkend="opt-security.acme.certs">certs</link> = {

+    };
