Installing Jabber Messaging Service on Ubuntu 16.04

sudo apt install ejabberd
ufw allow to any port 5280 proto tcp
ufw allow to any port 5222 proto tcp
ufw allow to any port 5269 proto tcp
ufw allow to any port 7777 proto tcp
sudo nano /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.yml

## hosts: Domains served by ejabberd.
## You can define one or several, for example:
## hosts:
##   - "example.net"
##   - "example.com"
##   - "example.org"
##
hosts:
  - "developernote.com"

...

###.   ====================
###'   ACCESS CONTROL LISTS
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:
