Considered migrating to some other XMPP server software?

• makomk 12y ago
  Most of the XMPP server software out there is neither lightweight nor easy to configure and there's no real migration paths between them. I probably don't even have enough system resources on my personal server to run some of the more well-known servers anyway; they tend to be oriented towards deployment on large multi-user systems.

    http://prosody.im/ http://prosody.im/ is pretty light weight and easy to configure. (I'm one of the devs) I don't know how easy it is to move data out of djabberd but I'm sure we can help you with that if you can provide schemas or example data. :)

      Yeah, was looking at Prosody. It's probably relatively simple in my case since I'm using the standard SQLite backends for roster storage etc. (Large-scale djabberd deployments likely aren't so lucky - djabberd was designed to make it easy for people to write code hooking in to their existing systems and many did. The only example I can find took a couple of months[1]) [1] http://blog.fastmail.fm/2011/08/24/new-xmppjabber-server/ http://blog.fastmail.fm/2011/08/24/new-xmppjabber-server/

    I wouldn't worry about system resources; if anything, I'd say that a high-level dynamic language adds most to the overhead. I can recommend http://ejabberd.im http://ejabberd.im

      I've knocked up an ejabberd install within a half hour. Really simple, really lightweight, and in the debian repos (IIRC.)
