This tutorial will guide you through the installation of Ejabberd on Kali Linux Latest. Ejabberd is a free, open-source XMPP server designed for high-performance communication systems. The server is highly scalable, and can support hundreds of thousands of simultaneous connections.
Before you start the installation process, ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to ensure that the system is up-to-date. Run the following command to update and upgrade the system:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
Ejabberd requires certain dependencies to be installed on the system. Execute the following command to install the required dependencies:
sudo apt install erlang openssl
Now that the dependencies have been installed, it's time to download and install Ejabberd. Perform the following steps:
Download the latest version of Ejabberd from the official website:
wget https://www.process-one.net/downloads/ejabberd/22.03/ejabberd-22.03-linux-x64-installer.run
Change the permission of the downloaded file to make it executable:
chmod +x ejabberd-22.03-linux-x64-installer.run
Run the installer to begin the installation process:
sudo ./ejabberd-22.03-linux-x64-installer.run
Follow the prompts to complete the installation. Ensure that you select the appropriate options based on your requirements.
The final step is to start Ejabberd. Execute the following command to start the server:
sudo systemctl start ejabberd
To ensure that Ejabberd starts automatically at boot time, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable ejabberd
Ejabberd has now been successfully installed on Kali Linux Latest. You can now configure the server and start using it to achieve high-performance communication.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
