## ejabberd Community Edition - Base
|
|
|
|
This ejabberd Docker image allows you to run a single node ejabberd instance in a Docker container.
|
|
|
|
## Running ejabberd
|
|
|
|
### Default configuration for domain localhost
|
|
|
|
You can run ejabberd in a new container with the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run --name ejabberd -d -p 5222:5222 ejabberd/ecs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will run Docker image as a daemon, using ejabberd default configuration file and XMPP domain "localhost".
|
|
|
|
To stop the running container, you can run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker stop ejabberd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If needed you can restart the stopped ejabberd container with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker restart ejabberd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Creating admin user
|
|
|
|
When the container is running (and thus ejabberd), you can exec commands inside the container. The ejabberd-api command-line tool can be used to exercise the API directly from the container, even if the API is not exposed to the outside world.
|
|
|
|
To create an admin user (or any other user), you can use the following command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker exec -it ejabberd /home/p1/ejabberd-api register --endpoint=http://127.0.0.1:5280/ --jid=admin@localhost --password=passw0rd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running ejabberd with Erlang console attached
|
|
|
|
If you would like to run it with console attached you can use the `console` command:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -it -p 5222:5222 ejabberd/ecs console
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This command will use default configuration file and XMPP domain "localhost".
|
|
|
|
### Running ejabberd with your config file and database host directory
|
|
|
|
The following command will pass config file using Docker volume feature and share local directory to store database:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir db
|
|
docker run -d --name ejabberd -v $(pwd)/ejabberd.yml:/home/p1/cfg/ejabberd.yml -v $(pwd)/db:/home/p1/db -p 5222:5222 ejabberd/ecs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Checking ejabberd log file
|
|
|
|
You can execute a Docker command to check the content of the log file from inside to container, even if you do not put it on a shared persistent drive:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker exec -it ejabberd /usr/bin/tail -f /home/p1/log/ejabberd.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Docker image advanced configuration
|
|
|
|
### Files
|
|
|
|
Here are the important files you can replace by mounting persistent disk or local directory:
|
|
|
|
- /home/p1/cfg/ejabberd.yml: ejabberd configuration file.
|
|
|
|
### Ports
|
|
|
|
ejabberd base Docker image exposes the following port:
|
|
|
|
- 5222: This is the default XMPP port for clients.
|
|
- 5280: This is the port for admin interface, API, Websockets and XMPP BOSH.
|
|
- 5269: Optional. This is the port for XMPP federation. Only needed if you want to communicate with users on other servers.
|
|
|
|
### Volumes
|
|
|
|
ejabberd produces two type of data: log files and database (Mnesia).
|
|
This is the kind of data you probably want to store on a persistent or local drive (at least the database).
|
|
|
|
Here are the volume you may want to map:
|
|
|
|
- /home/p1/log/: Directory containing log files
|
|
- /home/p1/db/: Directory containing Mnesia database. You should backup or export the content of the directory to persistent storage (host storage, local storage, any storage plugin)
|
|
|
|
## Generating ejabberd release
|
|
|
|
### Configuration
|
|
|
|
Image is build by embedding an ejabberd Erlang/OTP standalone release in the image.
|
|
|
|
The configuration of ejabberd Erlang/OTP release is customized with:
|
|
|
|
- rel/config.exs: Customize ejabberd release
|
|
- rel/dev.exs: ejabberd environment configuration for development release
|
|
- rel/docker.exs: ejabberd environment configuration for production Docker release
|
|
- ejabberd.yml: ejabberd default config file
|
|
|
|
Run the build script to generate ejabberd Community Server base image from ejabberd master on Github:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### TODO
|
|
|
|
- Embed command-line tool for ejabberd API to be able to create admin user for ejabberd.
|
|
- Rebuild last version of ejabberd-api tool when creating container.
|
|
- Manually build Erlang and Elixir in ejabberd-mix image so that we can rely on Alpine stable.
