XMPP Service Operators - 2021-12-02

y'all recommended distro? I love Fedora, but ejabberd is a year behind and has numerous issues out of box on f35. biboumi was also recently dropped from repos

For a server? I always use FreeBSD, but no real reason other than the package ecosystem tends to be nice.

is it reasonably easy to confine services on freebsd? fedora confines ejabberd by defualt with selinux, I also sandbox ejabberd and biboumi using the systemd sandboxing features

Sapotaceae, fwiw, be careful with that -- selinux may by default only allow outbound 5269 on fedora, which is too limiting given that you can run XMPP on any port thanks to SRV records

been running it like that for a while with no issue

I should move search.jabber.network to a non-standard port again to detect such issues ;)

Sapotaceae: I run Arch Linux on all my servers

If you want selinux without setting up everything yourself I wouldn't recommend Arch though

I'm running Ubuntu 🙃 because Docker anyway

Gentoo. I publish my tooling, reuse welcome: https://github.com/decent-im
