## hosts: Domains served by ejabberd.
## You can define one or several, for example:
## hosts:

acl:

## The 'admin' ACL grants administrative privileges to XMPP accounts.
## You can put here as many accounts as you want.

admin:
user:
- "admin": "developernote.com"
telnet developernote.com 5280
Now we need a certificate:
port: 5280
ip: "::"
module: ejabberd_http
request_handlers:
"/websocket": ejabberd_http_ws
## "/pub/archive": mod_http_fileserver
web_admin: true
http_bind: true
## register: true
captcha: true
tls: true
certfile: "/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem"
openssl -req -days 1825 -nodes -new -x509 -keyout server.key -out server.cert
cat server.key > ejabberd.pem
cat server.cert >> ejabberd.pem
sudo cp ejabberd.pem /etc/ejabberd/
sudo ejabberdctl change_password admin developernote.com <password>
sudo service ejabberd restart
And then open https://developernote.com:5280/admin/ in a browser:
Adding regular users:
sudo ejabberdctl register <user name> developernote.com <password>
Configuring Miranda on Windows 10
Setting up file transfer
I was able to send text messages, but file transfer did not work. I set up UFW logging:
sudo ufw status verbose
sudo ufw logging on
sudo ls /var/log/ufw*
sudo service rsyslog status
grep -i ufw /var/log/syslog
but did not find some blocked connections. Then I set up the logging to C:\Users\D-Ef\AppData\Roaming\Miranda NG\home\Logs\netlog.txt in Miranda client:
And when I accepted incoming file I got the following in the log:
===OUT: 332(15) bytes

So Miranda tries to connect to sender’s local IP address that is terribly annoying of course.
Also when I enabled the sounds they did not play:
Other clients
Gajim client determined that the file transfer is disabled:
Does the file transfer require UPnP?
It has ‘Discover services…” page:
Checking UPnP
Downloaded some utility that checks if UPnP enabled:
Probably Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service should be running:

The solution is: Jabber requires starttls:
openssl s_client -connect my.jabber.server.net:5222

What is wrong with simple RUN command? It works for me and the self-signed certificate is created successfully.

What is PID 1 and why does it matter?
In the context of Unix and Unix-like systems, including Docker containers, PID 1 refers to the first process started during system boot. All other processes are then started by PID 1, which in the process tree model is the parent of every process in the system.

Edit YAML file with Bash
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63581308/edit-yaml-file-with-bash
Since you don’t want to install yq you could use python that you most probably already have installed.
Here are the fundamentals:
#!/usr/bin/python
import yaml
with open(“config.yml”) as f:
y = yaml.safe_load(f)
y[‘db’][‘admin’][‘password’] = ‘new_admin_pass’
print(yaml.dump(y, default_flow_style=False, sort_keys=False))
