Once you get ejabberd running you can start changing configuration options to meet your requirements. Instead it is better to start from "default" configuration file available at. It is not recommended to write ejabberd.yml from scratch. It is a configuration mistake to put global options under host_config or append_host_config section - ejabberd will refuse to load such configuration. Examples are loglevel, certfiles and listen.
The options that cannot be defined per virtual host are called global. Examples are modules, auth_method and default_db. Some options can be specified for particular virtual host(s) only using host_config or append_host_config options. Configuration reload is atomic: either all options are accepted and applied simultaneously or the new configuration is refused without any impact on currently running configuration. So, the contents of ejabberd.yml will typically look like this: hosts:Īny configuration error (such as syntax error, unknown option or invalid option value) is fatal in the sense that ejabberd will refuse to load the whole configuration file and will not start or will abort configuration reload.Īll options can be changed in runtime by running ejabberdctl reload-config command. Thus this document is splitted into 3 main chapters describing each category separately. Logically, configuration options are splitted into 3 main categories: Modules, Listeners and everything else called Top Level options.
YAML is indentation sensitive, so make sure you respect indentation, or otherwise you will get pretty cryptic configuration errors. The configuration file is written in YAML language. We would need an auth token to avoid bogus messages from being forwarded, and a url where the messages should be forwarded.Main configuration file for ejabberd. To retrieve certain options from ejabberd.cfg, so it seemed reasonable to use a similar approach to retrieve a url and access token for our purposes.īased on the applications requirements, I came up with a minimal piece of configuration that we could use to set the details per environment. When an interesting event happens the modules that are subscribed to that event get run. The basic idea behind ejabberd modules is that there are lifecylce events that occur, such as a user coming online, a user going offline, or receiving a message, and a module can subscribe to a particular event.
#EJABBERD PUSH NOTIFICATION OFFLINE#
That was originally intended to forward offline messages from ejabberd toĪfter digging into the mod_offline_prowl code, I saw that it could be adapted to do what I needed. In my research, I came across a module for ejabberd called We decided to see if we could get ejabberd to forward the messages for offline users. To handle the communication with Apple's push notification service. Hypothesisīecause we were concurrently developing a rails app to provide theįor the iOS app, we decided the easiest solution would be to forward the offline messages from ejabberd to the rails app and integrate The solution we came up with requires a some integration, but only between 60-70 lines of code. At the time, it didn't seem like there was a great solution to get messages to offline users directly from ejabberd, so we started doing a bit of research.
One of the challenges we had to overcome was sending push notifications to offline users when they received an incoming chat message. The decision was made to use ejabberd as the backend for the chat, with a native, I recently had the fortune to work on an iOS application that included a feature to allow users to chat with each other.
