    Has anybody else been able to federate with google users using this documentation: https://developers.google.com/talk/open_communications ?

  2. tom

    This is all I get when I attempt

    tom: Google federation ended a long time ago

  6. MattJ

    It was good while it lasted

  7. MattJ

    Except that they never supported encryption

    Hello, completely new to XMPP

  9. daidoji

    Do I need a domain to operate an XMPP server? It seems like that's a requirement but I just wanted to play around with it on my local network

  10. stpeter

    daidoji: You can definitely run an XMPP server on your own machine and connect via localhost.

  11. daidoji

    well lets say I have two laptops and want to communicate over a local network

  12. daidoji

    do I have to run a whole domain for that?

  13. tom

    Use .lan

  14. daidoji

    what do you mean?

  15. daidoji

    just use that for my domain everywhere?

  17. daidoji

    Ellenor Malik ahh thanks

  18. Ellenor Malik

    so, run a dns server in the lan?

  19. daidoji

    I suppose. I have hosts files on both machines (my local network is small) but they're not identical

  20. pep.

    https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6122#section-2 says that ip4/6 are allowed as domainpart. So it should be possible to do without a domain. I don't know if implementations allow that though

  21. daidoji

    hmm, ejabberd isn't liking the ip address

  22. daidoji

    but I am running it from a docker container, maybe I messed something up there
