DJabberd Bookmarks

Fri 28 Dec 2007

Just started some serious playing with djabberd, Danga's pluggable XMPP/Jabber server.

At this stage it's almost more a toolkit than an out-of-the-box jabber server, but it's pretty fun. I'm running the subversion trunk version, running than the older version on CPAN.

Documentation is pretty sparse though, so thought I'd collate the resources I've found useful so far:

Brad's Fitzpatrick's initial DJabberd post
a later Brad post
a Martin Jansen blog post on djabberd
an Erik Osterman blog post on djabberd
a djabberd list archive

So far I've got an RPM for CentOS 5 of the svn trunk code, and am running it in test mode at a couple of places. I've got LDAP auth, rosters, and vcards working well, and am still working on offline storage, multi-user chat, and bot integration. I'll post the RPM and some example configs when I'm a little further along.
