Chat

Right now this page is just a place holder. I am trying to get an XMPP/Jabber server and web based chat client to work under WordPress.

The idea is that you will either be able to originate a chat session on the web or using a XMPP/Jabber chat app on a mobile phone or XMPP/Jabber based chat application on your computer or the shell servers.

Because so many configurations are path dependent, and because this is a trial and error situation, mostly errors, it was easier to put the paths into the menu so I can easily test. Please be patient. A general announcement will be made when it is working.

Basically, I’m trying to do for instant messaging as we have done for mail. Just as mail is accessible via the web, imap or pop-3 clients, and the shell servers, I’m trying to do something similar with instant messaging where it will be available via the web, XMPP/Jabber clients, and the shell servers.

Recently, I changed NFS mounts from hardmounts to systemd.automount. I did this so that servers would recover NFS mounts automatically after reboot.

I did not realize the time that this functionality in systemd did not work in Ubuntu 20.04. We have this old server in place solely to server RoundCube mail because it is unmaintained software that will not function on newer installations.

Since this facility did not work, mounts were lost after a reboot and did not automatically recover. I have changed this one machine to use an older facility that serves a similar functionality but uses a dedicated daemon rather than systemd, autofs.

I have tested it and it is now working and in place so RoundCube is again functional.
