superfeedr / xmpp-server

A full blown XMPP server based on https://github.com/node-xmpp/node-xmpp with modules

xmpp-server

A full XMPP server using node-xmpp, with some modules. Feel free to fork this and configure all the modules you need in server.js This server uses Redis as its datastore.

Unfortunately, the lack of time is slowly killing this project. If you feel like saving it, please, go ahead, message us and we'll set you up as the owner!

Installation

Beware : this project is really early stage... There are a lot of things to fix :) Install it for fun or for help... but probably not for profit just yet!

1. First, you need nodejs installed. Pre-compiled packages exist for Unix (Linux, BSD, Mac OS X) as explained in these instructions. Skip to 2. if you already have a working Node.JS environment.

2. Then, you need npm installed. As in step 1, follow these instructions or skip to 3.

3. Install redis (used to store the data). apt-get install redis-server should work just fine on most Ubuntus and Debians. On MacOS X redis can be installed e.g. with Homebrew: brew install redis

4. Install xmpp-server, finally. With package manager npm:

npm install -g xmpp-server

Running

TODO : automate this with a script that asks the right questions to the user when starting.

First, create a config file and place it at /etc/xmpp-server/config.js that includes the following (tls support is optional. You can follow the instructions there to create the key and certificate, and then uncomment the tls lines.):

    
    exports.config = {
        port: 5222, 
        domain: 'localhost',
        //tls: {
        //    keyPath: '/etc/xmpp-server/tls/localhost-key.pem',
        //    certPath: '/etc/xmpp-server/tls/localhost-cert.pem'
        //}
    }
    

Then, run the server:

xmpp-server /etc/xmpp-server/config.js

Trying

There is a server running at ouvre-boite.com. You can certainly create an account there, but don't leave any valuable belongings as they will be trashed every couple hours :)

xmpp-server's Issues

xmpp-server exit when a client connection

i used Adium / Psi a client for testing.
when connect to the server, i got error and xmpp-server just exit.
how can i fix that?

here's the log:

Testing with Adium not Okay

Hi guys,

I've just came across xmpp-server and hitten my first try with it. I wanted to test it against a simple jabber client, Adium, and I get some difficulties..

That's what I did :

First of all, in server.js, I've disactivated the authenticate part (i call cb() without any verification) and logged any try of authentication. I don't care about auth for my use..

I've launched my adium client and try to connect as, for instance, foo@localhost with password bar. Adium warns me about the fact that my connection is not encrypted, my auth log is hitten and I'm sure that the authenticate callback is called.

But Adium remains in state connecting.

has someone any hints about it ?

EDIT : I forgot to mention that I also disactivated the Roster and Presence modules.

Error with pidgin

Adium appears to connect to the server without problem. Pidgin however fails

The following is a log from pidgin of a connection request failure.

Issue with cb() on authenticate

in server.js

    // On Connect event. When a client connects.
    server.on("connect", function(client) {
        // Allows the developer to authenticate users against anything they want.
        client.on("authenticate", function(opts, cb) {
            User.find(opts.jid, function(user) {
                if (user && user.attrs.password === opts.password)
                    cb();
                else
                    cb(new Error("Authentication failure"));
            });
        });

Using a simple local redis server the authentication would constantly fail until I changed the cb call to

                if (user && user.attrs.password === opts.password)
                    cb(null, user);

Now some clients succeed, others (pidgin) appear to not receive or properly parse the success response.

clustering

What about clustering?

Debug Help

After patching node-xmpp from :

xmppjs/xmpp.js#87

I can get xmpp-server to authenticate against a test mysql table, however after authentication, I get :

I must admit, I'm a newcomer to node so any light on this would be greatly appreciated. I've tried the native debugger and with node-inspector, but I cant say thats helped me much.

Thanks

actialize node-xmpp version

As I known in node 0.8 node-xmpp replace c2s.domain -> c2s.serverdomain, etc. and more minor diff

Do you plan to actialize project to last version nodejs and node-xmpp?

Thanks.

Question: debugging?

Perhaps this is n00b question but how would I debug the server? I would like to see client connection attempts. At the moment registration succeeds but connections fail.

Thanks
