Now we need a certificate:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | 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:

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

The solution is: Jabber requires starttls:

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))
