JabMUD

An experiment with eJabberd as a scalable communication backbone. I wanted to learn more about eJabberd / XMPP and toy around with it, creating the basis for a text mud seemed like a good way to go at the time.

JabMUD runs as an external component hosted through XEP-0114, allowing me to write this in Go instead of Erlang. I might end up regretting that...

eJabberd Docker Container

Instead of installing ejabber + services locally you can run it through a docker container, see docker\docker-build.sh

ejabberd.yml configuration

ejabberd needs to be told to open a listener for our component:

listen:
  -
    port: 5275
    module: ejabberd_service
    access: all
    shaper_rule: fast
    hosts:
      "jabmud.localhost":
        password: "secret"

Opening Ports

These are the ports that the docker-run script opens up.

-p 4560:4560 \
-p 5222:5222 \
-p 5269:5269 \
-p 5275:5275 \
-p 5280:5280 \
-p 5443:5443 \
