Re: Future of jabberd
i see Phoenix rise from the ashes ... ;) +1 for all 2) libuv is used by node.js - good choice 4) i'm coming from telco side - https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/ARI+Push+Configuration 6) important is easy integration with ELK stack 7) i hope its better than unixODBC Dne 30.5.2016 v 10:31 Tomasz Sterna napsal(a): There are some things we already talked about on Gitter channel [1], but I would like to raise them on the ML for peer review. As you can see from late activity, jabberd2 project is far from dead. With the inclusion of new features like WebSocket support, C99 code compatibility, IPv6 improvements, modern TLS handling, SASL Anonymous, password hashing, CRAM-MD5 and more... it is not a stale codebase anymore. But it is far from modern too... There are some changes I would like to introduce in the near future and I would like to hear your thoughts about: 1. Merging separate daemons to one. Current design of jabberd2 with separate router, sm, c2s, s2s processes is designed to allow nice separation of concerns and distribution of processing. Separate processes are proved to be better approach than threads too. But most installations of jabberd are not distributed, with one instance of each component. Especially when c2s and sm got vhost support and are able to handle more than one domain. Also, modern OS architectures are tuned for event processing rather than multithreading, so event based architecture is better suited for them. Even jabberd2 process internally is event based on MIO. So, it makes sense to allow for running all component instances in one process, especially on amateur, low load servers. Merging processes will allow for having one main loop only, so maintaining bugfixes in it will be easier (main.c of all processes is a copy-paste, with all the bugs, so bugs are also multiplied). 2. Phasing out MIO. This is closely related to above. MIO used by jabberd2 does not have clerar main loop support, which is implemented separately in each component main.c and is hardly pluggable. Also, the way MIO is implemented (in .h file, with platform specific bits in .c) makes it a maintanance nightmare. I would really like to replace it with a modern, upstream maintained event library. The nicest one I know is libuv, which also gives us nice platform independence layer. I already have a working c2s port to libuv as a PoC. 3. Phasing out router. router component is the one binding all the others. In current design it is the single point of failure. Other components already support multiple instances, but router proved to be difficult to multiply. The most radical, yet compelling solution to this problem is getting rid of the router at all. There are many cooked solutions for local packet distribution, which Local Message Bus [2] looks like most promising solution. I would see either Mbus [3] or NN_BUS [4] taking role of router component. The added advantage of using a Message Bus is the ability to connect to the bus with alternative implementations to perform own actions. i.e. having the ability to use CLI tools to eavesdrop and send messages to the bus proved to be priceless when I implemented a PoC of the Bus in experimental jabberd branch. Bus also solves the problem of distribution - it is up to the deployment administrator whether one sets up local, one-machine only bus or a network distributed one. 4. Configuration interface. A the moment jabberd is configured with static XML files loaded at daemon startup. It is close to impossible to change the values in runtime, as random places of the process are using copies of values or direct pointers to values from config structure. This heavily impedes implementation of features such as XEP-0133 Service Administration or Web interface. From my experience, the best handling of such requirements is to provide write-only/change-subscribe interface similar to GConf/dconf. This interface does not allow reading on-demand of random values, but allows only subscription to change and write-value + publish change. This approach forces programmer to write value-change handlers in application code, which allows changing the value by anyone at any moment. Do you know any standalone library that implements such approach, or do I need to implement custom solution in jabberd codebase? 5. JavaScript support. Let's face it - JavaScript is all the hype today :-) It also is a very good language for data processing. I think it would be a good solution for implementation of modern XEP logic in sm component. sm is implemented in C with all RFC required logic, and all XEPs are loadable modules to sm and these add JEP/XEP functionality. Having an option to implement XEP logic in JS instead of plain C, should speed up recent and experimental XEP adoption in jabberd. This gives concerns to jabberd2 as an embedded server though - current jabberd2 is perfectly able to work fine on low resource machines such as DD-WRT router. Introducing heavy JS JIT machine

I've run into a couple of urgent IT issues (as is ALWAYS the case) and had to set it aside last week. Anyhow, I was thinking of using something like this for the config: storage ldapvcard vcard-map map attr=[ldapAttribute] property=[vcardProperty] / map attr=[ldapAttribute] property=[vcardProperty] / /vcard-map /ldapvcard /storage Ifvcard-map doesn't exist, it will use the existing hard-coded map. This seems to be following the pattern, but I didn't see a DTD for the config, so I'm just guessing. Feel free to change the above idea around I'm still reading the config API to see if I can enumerate like that, but it should be pretty easy to make it work. In the meantime, I hacked up the mapping for Active Directory to produce a mostly usable vCard, but it still isn't pulling everything correctly. I think it's more of a client issue, though. Secondly, I pulled the init scripts from the Debian/sid package and modified them a little (I pasted them into the HOWTO I sent off). They might like to have those upstream.

Is that feasible with jabberd2.x? Stephen I second that request. Specifically the ability to support new domains without having to launch instances of 'sm' for each one. Not to mention creating a new config file, and updating the 'c2s' config file. (I think it was 'c2s'.) It should be possible to support a new domain with a single line in the XML config... and down the road, perhaps the ability to control support for alternate/alias/child domains via the database?
