Planned Pubsub/PEP migration to MySQL

Monday, May 31st, 2010, 22:38 by Roi

We are planning to migrate Pubsub/PEP (Publish-Subscribe / Personal Eventing Protocol) from Mnesia to MySQL in the very near future, which means the next two days.

Unfortunally there is no export/import script, so all data will be lost. It is also impossible to export own data from a client, at least I was told so.

Migration should fix some problems with PEP, also MySQL allows more administration and has less resource overhead.

Moods now also work on secondary domains

Saturday, May 29th, 2010, 14:32 by Roi

We stumbled upon this by accident – moods (or to be precise: everything which Pubsub/PEP offer) did not work on secondary domains.

It works now, it was just a little configuration change. The Pubsub service subdomain (e.g. pubsub.jabber.hot-chilli.eu) has to be the same domain as the Jabber service (e.g. jabber.hot-chilli.eu), not a subdomain of the Jabber server’s primary domain (e.g. jabber.hot-chilli.net).

Server Specifications

Monday, April 26th, 2010, 00:09 by Roi

The Hot-Chilli Instant Messaging service is a node on the open Jabber network, based on XMPP, the open standard for instant messaging. The IM service is registered on the xmpp.org website and thus fulfills the requirements to be listed.

The usage of our IM services is completely free of charge (exept if you like to run your own domains on our server).

Server hardware and server location

  • Intel Core i7-920
  • 8 GB DDR3 RAM
  • 2 x 750 GB SATA-II HDD (Software-RAID 1)
  • 100 Mbit Internet connection
  • Debian amd64

Location: Germany
Latitude/longitude: 49.09 N, 12.48 E

Domains

The following public XMPP domains are hosted here:

  • jabber.hot-chilli.net
    (all transports and services which we offer run on this domain)
  • jabber.hot-chilli.eu
    (full access to the transports and services of jabber.hot-chilli.net)
  • im.hot-chilli.net
    (full access to the transports and services of jabber.hot-chilli.net)
  • im.hot-chilli.eu
    (full access to the transports and services of jabber.hot-chilli.net)
  • hot-chilli.net
    (full access to the transports and services of jabber.hot-chilli.net)
  • hot-chilli.eu
    (full access to the transports and services of jabber.hot-chilli.net)
  • jabber-hosting.de
    (full access to the transports and services of jabber.hot-chilli.net)
  • xmpp-hosting.de
    (full access to the transports and services of jabber.hot-chilli.net)

Own Jabber domains

You can host your own domain (with admin access and full access to the transports and services of jabber.hot-chilli.net) on our Jabber server. This is even possible without moving your domain from your current provider to us, you just need to setup three DNS entries to point Jabber services for your domain to our server. See here for more information.

Connections

“normal” client connections (STARTTLS/TLS):

  • jabber.hot-chilli.net:5222
  • server.jabber.hot-chilli.net:80 (for users behind restrictive firewalls, IPv4 connections only)

SSL client connections:

  • jabber.hot-chilli.net:5223
  • server.jabber.hot-chilli.net:443 (for users behind restrictive firewalls, IPv4 connections only)

unsecured client connections (PLAIN):

  • jabber.hot-chilli.net:5224

(Not recommended, because password is transfered in plain text. Unfortunally there are some clients like phpBB3 which still do not support the 4 year old XMPP1.0 connection protocol to port 5222.)
