How to Create a Jabber Server: Difference between revisions

[[Category:Jabber]]

Sugar collaboration ~~uses~~ a Jabber server (with a few extra modules and patches) ~~to connect users who aren't connecting with other Sugar users on a wireless mesh range~~.

Sugar collaboration is built on top of [[wikipedia:Jabber|XMPP (Jabber)]], an open and extensible [[wikipedia:instant messaging|instant messaging]] protocol. Collaboration via a server is more scalable than over link local connections. This server is a Jabber server (with a few extra modules and patches) and is usually included in the XS schoolserver for school deployments.

Community members such as G1G1 XO users, and developers, can use a Jabber server for collaboration without needing the rest of the schoolserver functionality. In this way, "mesh view" can be extended over the Internet for regional or global communities.

== Running your own server ==

Currently we only ~~recommend running~~ ejabberd with ~~OLPC~~-specific patches.

Currently the only Jabber server that works for Sugar collaboration is [[wikipedia:ejabberd|ejabberd]] with Sugar-specific patches. See [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Installing_ejabberd Installing ejabberd] for instructions on installing and configuring it.

~~:Please clarify~~ in ~~plain English what this means...~~

For those interested in the details, more details on the ejabberd configuration are here: [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ejabberd_Configuration Ejabberd Configuration]

~~See [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Installing_ejabberd Installing ejabberd] for instructions on installing and configuring it.~~

~~For developers~~, more details on the ejabberd configuration are here: [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Ejabberd_Configuration Ejabberd Configuration]

If you get a community server up, consider adding it to [[A list of Jabber networks around the world]].
