- ape4 8y agoWhich is the best XMPP server? For the server mentioned here... OpenFire = written in Java Prosody = Lua Ejabberd = Erlang
- jcbrand 8y agoI can't say which is best, I can only say I use Prosody and am very happy with it. Here's a howto on setting it up: https://homebrewserver.club/configuring-a-modern-xmpp-server.html https://homebrewserver.club/configuring-a-modern-xmpp-server...
- Whatitat90 8y agoProsody is small and works for most people. Ejabberd is what powers production servers of bigger operators, it's also used in MMORPGs.
- funkaster 8y agoNot sure if it's the best, but I tried openfire, worked great for my use case, it was easy to deploy on k8s.
- petre 8y agoI love Prosody. It took five minutes to set up and it's been flawlessly running ever since. We use it for internal company talk, pasting code, sending files. If you don't need 1M+ clients it's great. I also set up an ejabberd instance for a client years ago when Prosody was not a thing but it's more complicated to set up. They changed the config file from Erlang to YAML a while ago but it's still complex. But it's nice it has a web interface to create users and easier to not get bothered about it once it's up and running. Ejabberd can handle a massive number of clients.

- ppjet6 8y agoI cannot agree with this enough. So many resources wasted trying to replicate what's already been done, but this is not an issue with XMPP only. There are still lots of fun challenges in many clients and servers if that is what you're looking for.
