XMPP Service Operators - 2020-12-09

Which xmpp server do you recommend? I am still looking around... I am just a week or two into this, but looking for a decent server

ejabberd

^ This

:)

Seems possible. Thanks benharri and neox

.... and raucao

Openfire obviously. 😇

good luck :) if you're on debian i'd recommend using the packages in backports

also be sure to refer to the example config in the upstream repo

Nope, I use Mint, but planning to move NixOS.

Personally I favour ejabberd, but I gather Prosody is quite popular these days.

I'll second benharri's advice, though — don't rely on the distro's package.

the debian backports package is on the current release

Yes the Debian package is well-maintained.

Less sure about NixOS 🙂 (But yes Nix is the future! Or should be.)

Sorry — I meant the distro's default (main) package.

Another vote here for ejabberd for a new server, but there's nothing wrong with choosing prosody at all. I just find ejabberd is less work out of the box right now. I run the version from debian backports on a couple of live servers and it's perfectly solid.

I originally chose Prosody, rather than ejabberd because the existence of an ejabberd "Business Edition", as opposed to the "Community Server", made me nervous about the open-sourceness of future features.

The additional features of the Business Edition are mostly just interesting to commercial, closed services (built-in support for push notifications which is only useful if the server operator controls the clients, stuff like that).

Apart from those it's just an old (er, "stable") revision of the GPL code 😉

Stupid question : is it possible to configure an avatar for the ejabberd server contact (the one that send announce messages) ?
