Platform Team/Prosody
Purpose
The reasons to use Prosody Jabber/XMPP server:
- be humble for consuming memory and CPU resources, especially for Sugar Server Kit usecase (up to 1K users),
- jabber server should be simply initially configured and work in unmaintained mode as long as possible.
Plugins
These plugins are tested against Prosody 0.8.2 version.
mod_sugar_roster
Provides global roster when every user sees all registered accounts.
mod_sugar_muc
The only difference in comparing with original mod_muc plugin is a workaround for
telepathy-gabble/Prosody issue.
This plugin should be used instead of mod_muc until issue will be fixed in telepathy-gabble or in Prosody.
mod_sugar_saslauth
Original mod_saslauth plugin with preventing multiple auth from the same jid. See sm_make_authenticated() function in its sources.
This plugin should be used instead of mod_saslauth until more lightweight implementation is found.
Installation
To reuse sugar plugins, copy them to the directory with Prosody plugins. Or, install prosody-sugar package from Sugar Server Kit repository.
Configuration
See sugar-server-templates sources for configuration example.
Getting involved
Please, read the HACKING file.
TODO
- Dynamically remove users from the sugar roster if they are offline for some reasonable time (for now, there is a patch to kick offline users from sugar roster asap to workaround buggy sugar-0.9x collab code).
- Compare Prosody resources consumption with existed ejabberd.
