Server Compilation

Tigase XMPP Server Project uses Maven for compilation. For details on Maven and it’s use, please see the Maven Guide.

Distribution Packages

Once Compiled, Tigase creates two separate distribution archives:

  • -dist is a minimal version containing only tigase-server, tigase-xmltools and tigase-utils, MUC, Pubsub, and HTTP.
  • -dist-max is a version containing all additional tigase components as well as dependencies required by those components.

They will be available as both zip and tarball.

Building Server and Generating Packages

Server binary and it’s documentation

After cloning tigase-server repository:

git clone https://repository.tigase.org/git/tigase-server.git
cd tigase-server

You compile server with maven :

mvn clean install

This will: - Build Tigase XMPP tigase-server jar in tigase-server/target.

If you wish to include compilation of the documentation use distribution profile:

mvn -Pdist clean install

This will - compile server binaries. - generate javadoc and manual documentation tigase-server/target/_docs directory.

Server distribution packages

Distribution building is handled by separate project (Tigase Server Distribution)

In order to build distribution packages * clone tigase-server-distribution repository:

git clone https://git.tigase.tech/tigase-server-distribution
tigase-server-distribution

and compile it using maven with distribution profile:

mvn -Pdist clean install

This will:

  • compile all documentation sources (including dependencies) and place them in tigase-server-distribution/target/_docs directory
  • download all dependencies in defined versions and put them in tigase-server-distribution/target/dist/jars/ directory.
  • create both types of distribution packages (-dist and -dist-max) and place them in tigase-server-distribution/target/_dist/ directory.

Running Server

Afterwards you can run the server with the regular shell script from within server module:

cd server
./scripts/tigase.sh start etc/tigase.conf

Please bear in mind, that you need to provide correct setup in etc/config.tdsl configuration files for the server to work correctly.
