How to Install Tigase XMPP Server on Void Linux

Tigase is a free, high-performance XMPP server that provides instant messaging and real-time communication capabilities. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the installation process of Tigase XMPP server on Void Linux.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you will need the following:

Step 1 - System Update

It is always wise to start by updating your system packages to the latest versions. To do this, run the following commands:

xbps-install -S
xbps-install -u

Step 2 - Install Java

Tigase requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to be installed on your system. You can install the OpenJDK JRE by running the following command:

xbps-install -S openjdk8-jre

Step 3 - Download Tigase

You can download the latest version of Tigase from their official website at https://tigase.net/xmpp-server. Alternatively, you can use the following command to download and extract the latest version:

wget https://build.tigase.net/tigase-server/snapshot/latest/tigase-server-dist-max.tar.gz
tar -xzf tigase-server-dist-max.tar.gz

Step 4 - Configure Tigase

The configuration file for Tigase is located at tigase-server/etc/init.properties. You can edit this file to configure Tigase according to your needs. However, for a basic setup, you can use the following configuration:

--virt-hosts=example.com
--admins=admin@example.com
--debug=server,xmpp.impl,xmpp.processor
--comp-name-1=http
--comp-class-1=tigase.http.HttpMessageReceiver
--comp-name-2=pubsub
--comp-class-2=tigase.pubsub.PubSubMessageReceiver
--comp-name-3=muc
--comp-class-3=tigase.muc.MUCMessageReceiver

This configuration sets up Tigase to serve the domain example.com with an administrator account admin@example.com. It also enables debugging and sets up three components: http, pubsub, and muc.

Step 5 - Start Tigase

You can start Tigase by running the following command from the directory where you extracted Tigase:

./scripts/tigase.sh start etc/init.properties

This will start Tigase in the background. You can stop Tigase by running:

./scripts/tigase.sh stop etc/init.properties

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tigase XMPP server on Void Linux. You can now customize the configuration to suit your needs and start enjoying instant messaging and real-time communication with your colleagues and friends.
