Your question is a good

Your question is a good point: if you define an option in host_config, it overrides the global one. This means that defining modules in host_config will override the global modules for that host.

Better to use append_host_config instead, so you can have a global common modules, and then append a few modules with different options for each host. See https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/guide/configuration/#virtual-hosting

mod_disco with extra_domains option is just to show that service from private server in the Service Discovery of the public server. I think it's required, but maybe clients are clever enough to not need it...

Hi, As always thank you for

Hi,

As always thank you for promptly addressing the query.
As already mentioned, I have created host_config only for public.domain.com and for private it assumes global module-wise config, the config which I have been using till now.
You have already recommended to create 2 different modules sections. Does that mean, to only define specific modules in either host configs(private/public) which would override global config? And for the rest, global module configs would be used? Should be obvious, but would like to confirm.

And also I am not sure about the need to configure mod_disco in this case, if you can please shed some light. As it is working without configuring mod_disco, so could it be something that I am missing from a bigger picture.

Thank you,
Prasad

I guess you have something

I guess you have something like this:

hosts:
  - "private.domain.com"
  - "public.domain.com"

I guess the best way (and I hope it works correctly) is to create two different modules sections, one with mod_pubsub, and the other with a disco that redirects to the first pubsub service:

host_config:
  "private.domain.com":
    modules:
      ...
      mod_disco: {}
      mod_pubsub:
        host: "pubsub.private.domain.com"

host_config:
  "public.domain.com":
    modules:
      ...
      mod_disco:
        extra_domains:
          - "pubsub.private.domain.com"
