MongooseIM is an open source instant messaging platform based on the XMPP protocol. It enables real-time messaging, voice and video calls, file sharing, and more. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install MongooseIM on Fedora Server Latest.
Follow the steps below to install MongooseIM on your Fedora Server Latest:
First, you need to install some dependencies required for installing MongooseIM. Open the terminal on your system and run the command below:
sudo dnf install gcc gcc-c++ make autoconf automake libtool openssl-devel expat-devel libyaml-devel
Next, download the MongooseIM package from the official website. You can use the wget command to download it directly:
wget https://packages.erlang-solutions.com/mongooseim/mongooseim-3.2.0.1.el7.x86_64.rpm
After downloading the MongooseIM package in the previous step, install it using the following command:
sudo dnf install mongooseim-3.2.0.1.el7.x86_64.rpm
To start MongooseIM service, use the following command:
sudo systemctl start mongooseim
To make sure that the service is running without any issues, run the command below:
sudo systemctl status mongooseim
If everything is working correctly, the output should show that the service is active and running.
By default, MongooseIM comes with a sample configuration file located at /etc/mongooseim/mongooseim.cfg.sample. You need to configure this file according to your requirements.
Here is an example of the configuration file:
{hosts, ["localhost"]}.
{auth_method, internal}.
{shaper, normal}.
{language, "en"}.
{loglevel, error}.
{mnesia, [{dump_log_write_threshold, 10000}, {dump_log_rotate_hours, 24}, {dump_log_max_size, 10000000}]}.
{tls, [{certfile, "/path/to/cert.pem"}, {keyfile, "/path/to/key.pem"}]}.
MongooseIM also provides a web admin console for managing and monitoring XMPP domains. You can access the web admin console using your web browser, entering the following URL:
https://localhost:5281/admin/
Enter your MongooseIM username and password to log in.
In this tutorial, we have explained how to install MongooseIM on Fedora Server Latest. You can now use MongooseIM to set up your own XMPP chat server and enable real-time communication in your organization.
