Linux ejabberd
ejabberd is an open source platform built on Jabber/XMPP.
XMPP (Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol)
https://github.com/processone/ejabberd
ejabberd does not store messages on the server. There are mods available to do this called Message Archive Management (aka MAM).
Offline messages there is a mod to store these messages, mod_offline.
Contents
Install
OSX - I just downloaded the installer and app.
Fedora
# yum install ejabberd
Startup
To start, stop, status, restart
# ejabberdctl start
There is no auto startup script for ejabberd for Fedora if you google around you can find one.
Config
Host - Updated the host to include my domain.
{hosts, ["localhost", "johnfreier.com"]}.
Turned off the web admin interface
%%web_admin
Turned off user registration. Switch 'allow' to 'deny'. You will need to register users before turning this off.
{access, register, [{deny, all}]}.
TTLS - I needed to enable TTLS to be able to communicate between servers. To get this working correctly I also needed to uncomment out the pem cert.
{s2s_use_starttls, true}.
{s2s_certfile, "/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem"}
Added my user to the list of admin users.
{acl, admin, {user, "myusername", "johnfreier.com"}}.
Register an account CLI
This is how you register an account.
# ejabberdctl register myuser johnfreier.com password
File Locations
Configs
/etc/ejabberd/*
Logs
/var/log/ejabberd/*
Web Admin URL
If you choose to use the web admin interface.
Ports
When ejabber is started by default it opens the following ports.
5222/tcp open xmpp-client 5269/tcp open xmpp-server 5280/tcp open xmpp-bosh
5280 - is the same port as the web admin interface but when the webadmin interface is disabled this is still open??
