Comments on: IM Integration With XMPP4r http://www.rubyfleebie.com/im-integration-with-xmpp4r/ Because programming should be fun Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:28:55 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: jro http://www.rubyfleebie.com/im-integration-with-xmpp4r/#comment-470 jro Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:04:02 +0000 http://www.rubyfleebie.com/im-integration-with-xmpp4r/#comment-470 This is a great intro to XMPP. I'll be looking forward to seeing more about talking XMPP via ruby! I've setup jabber servers at a couple companies I've worked at, and I really dig modding apps to pester me via IM.

It's a good one. I wasn't even sure of how it worked even if I worked with you with TimmyOnTime. Shame on me. Thanks Frank! It’s a good one.

It will get more concrete. I didn't installed any XMPP server yet and I was wondering if it was complicated to setup... that's what I heard about it. I'd like to hear you on that. @Dan, Yeah, shame on me too because when I started trying out xmpp4r for TimmyOnTime, i had a rather unclear understanding of XMPP. I guess I was too excited to see Timmy replies to our commands to take the time learning the basics! @jro,

Jabberd 1.x wasn't so bad to setup, but maintenance wasn't super easy. Jabberd 2.x was just very awkward when I evaluated it. Ejabberd was really nifty from a scalability perspective, but there was no way I could get our IT staff (at the old co) to learn erlang to maintain it. Eventually, I settled on what became Openfire. It's very easy to administer, but it's a bit heavy on memory as far as what you'd expect a chat server to use. But as long as you have the RAM, it's great; very easy and very full-featured. @Frank,

I just started IM functionality that I promised my customer (foolishly, before I knew I could do it). It appears that the reliability of such a system depends entirely on the Jabber (OpenFilre, Ejabberd, etc.) server. For TOT id you run your own server, or use a public one?

So I guess my best bet would be to go with OpenFire? I don't think that the high memory usage issue is so bad compared to the complexity of the other servers. @Karl, For ToT, we are currently using the Google chat servers (we use the "Google for your domain" service). We then asked our hoster to change our SRV records to have them point on Google servers. We are really happy with this setup so far... even if it makes us "depend" of Google (who doesn't? :) ). However, we might want to setup our own jabber server in the future. @jro,

I really want to continue to write on a consistant basis but as of late it has been very difficult to do. And yes, XMPP is the topic that I want to discuss the most. I plan to start writing about our XMPP integration in TimmyOnTime (company project). Again, thanks for your support. I've been a very dead blogger since a while, But there is absolutely zero possibility of pulling the plug on RubyFleebie for the moment. @Kirill,
