Migration to Prosody and Spectrum 2

Thursday, June 21st, 2012, 17:35 by Roi

Mainly because of performance issues we will migrate the server from ejabberd to Prosody in the next days or weeks. Also the Spectrum 1 transports will be migrated to Spectrum 2. To create the less disturbance possible we migrate everything to a new server machine.

Anyway there will be downtimes, because sometime we have to migrate the user data and switch the DNS records.

As you can imagine some things will change in the future, which is perfectly normal when using a complete different software. We will try to keep as many feature we offer today plus adding the benefits and features of the new software to the server.

We will keep you posted, this was just intended to be a first basic information.

Ideas, suggestions, questions? Write us! icon smile Migration to Prosody and Spectrum 2

Upgrade to ejabberd 2.1.10

Sunday, February 12th, 2012, 12:23 by Roi

We just upgraded ejabberd to 2.1.10. Therefore the service was down for some minutes. Everything should be up and running again.

Clearing up inactive users

Wednesday, September 14th, 2011, 08:29 by Roi

In the next days we will implement script to delete inactive users from our databases (Jabber server and Transport services). Most users in our databases are inactive so we want to get rid of them. This reduces the overhead and leads to better usage statistics. Also it is freeing up usernames which can be registered again by new users.

There will be an exclude list. If you think your username should be on the exclude list, please get in touch with us and tell us why. icon wink Clearing up inactive users

As soon as the deletion jobs are ready to run the first time we will announce this about a day in advance.

Upgrade to ejabberd 2.1.6

Thursday, March 24th, 2011, 22:51 by Roi

Finally the Debian package for ejabberd 2.1.6 is available. Therefore we will perform an upgrade to ejabberd 2.1.6 in the next minutes. There will be a short service outage.

IPv6 reconfiguration

Friday, September 24th, 2010, 12:27 by Roi

Since our provider now supports native IPv6 (including reverse DNS) we changed our IPv6 configuration and now no longer use an IPv6 Tunnel Broker. Therefore we had two short service outages today to reboot the machine and activate the new settings.

If you are using IPv6 you might have to flush your DNS (or wait up to 24 hours from now) to get the correct IPs back from DNS.

Upgrade to ejabberd 2.1.5

During this night (CEST) we upgraded the Jabber server to ejabberd 2.1.5 – this time the Debian package came available very soon. icon smile Upgrade to ejabberd 2.1.5

Thursday, July 29th, 2010, 20:39 by Roi

At about noon CEST today I just upgraded the server to ejabberd 2.1.4, which is a bugfixing release. Finally the Debian package is available. Sorry for the less than five minute short service downtime. icon wink Upgrade to ejabberd 2.1.4
