ejabberd is a good implementation of this, suitable for a low-end system like Bubba. Do like this:
- ejabberd is available in the sarge-backports repo. Add this line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
Code: Select all
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports main
and do:
Code: Select all
apt-get update
Code: Select all
apt-get install ejabberd
Open port 5222 and 5223 in your firewall/router if you wan't it accessible from outside.
Then just download any PC client (list here). I have tried wippien and pidgin, both worked ok for me.
Connect to your server name, and choose "add this user on the server" the first time. The web administation interface (for statistics etc.) is available at
Code: Select all
bubba:5280/admin
That's it! Just let me know if I left anything out.
