@jdaviescoates This or prosody I'd accept. Both are great XMPP servers.

The server should support at least Push (mainly for iOS/Android clients), HTTP upload, and PubSub.

And for the web interface, I'd vote for either converse or movim

[jdaviescoates]

@murgero I can't find the link now, but what led me to ejabberd was something about an update to Conversations now doing audio and video calls based on a recent update to ejabberd.

[murgero]

@jdaviescoates Ejabberd is more robust that prosody, but prosody is simpler to configure. I would prefer ejabberd as well tbh - Conversations is a nice app for Android.

[jdaviescoates]

Sounds like Conversations audio and video features working pretty well:

Just a few links that may be helpful if someone wants to try packaging it :

• https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/configuration/database-ldap/#relational-databases
• https://docs.ejabberd.im/admin/configuration/database-ldap/#ldap
• https://github.com/processone/docker-ejabberd/blob/master/ecs/Dockerfile
• https://wiki.jabberfr.org/Intégration_de_LDAP_dans_ejabberd

On first glance, it seems quite packageable. The only thing that I think may be a bit of trouble would be some kind of web interface, to at least provide the Cloudron healthcheck.

I may end up trying to package it up if I have the time some day. But if anyone else wants to give it a go, be my guest!

@mehdi Interesting, I guess the SIP could be used with Jami? https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/2311/jami

[mehdi]

@marcusquinn Honestly, not sure. I'm more interested in ejabberd for the XMPP.

But from a quick look at Jami, it doesn't seem that it needs a SIP server, only that it may use one. I think the point of connecting it to a SIP server is more for connecting to the actual phone system, so there wouldn't really be any point to connect Jami to ejabberd's SIP.

@jdaviescoates

ejabberd would be really great to have. Two features in one bottle, xmpp and mqtt (or three with SIP )

[jdaviescoates]

@timka I'm liking the look of Snikket

ejabberd would be freakin amazing!!

[nebulon]

FYI I took a stab at this two days ago, current state is https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/ejabberd-app/-/tree/master since I also wanted a XMPP server, however this is quite the beast and I had a hard time so far to figure out the various overlaying ACL and access rules. If anyone has deployed an ejabberd instance in the past, let us know maybe we can work together on this.

[murgero]

@nebulon Have you considered snikket or prosody? They are easier to develop for and run.

[jdaviescoates]

@murgero said in ejabberd - Robust, Scalable and Extensible Realtime Server using XMPP, MQTT and SIP:

snikket

+1 for Snikket

[potemkin_ai]

@nebulon what kind of help you might need here?
I'm exploring my options for XMPP server as well, maybe I could be of help here.

[potemkin_ai]

Openfire could be an easier option, btw

[jdaviescoates]

@LoudLemur interesting, I wonder who @OrcVole is?

[LoudLemur]

Looks like there are a couple of people at ejabberd who are willing to help now, if somebody can contact them. One of them referenced this helm chart for ejabberd:
