Migrating to Wildfire

Published by Mikael Hallendal on June 11, 2006 03:06 pm under Software

Took the plunge today and migrated imendio.com jabber server from Jabberd2 to Wildfire. Due to Wildfires import plugin it was pretty little job to migrate the accounts and rosters. However the plugin doesn’t support importing vCard or offline messages.

I found a script by Daniel Henninger that migrated from Jabberd2 to Jabberd1. Hacked it a bit and ended up with a script that generates the XML needed for the plugin:

You can get it here (not supported, beautified or otherwise recommended if you care for your brains): j2toWildfire.pl.

Let me know if you notice any problems communicating with me or one of the other imendians.

    Howdy! Glad you found my script useful! Would you mind if your script was made available on ScriptRepo? (http://scriptrepo.blathersource.org/)

    Just out of curiosity — why not ejabberd?

    Tried out ejabberd but liked the configuration/administration of Wildfire more. They both seem rather capable and the extra resources Wildfire seems to take is not a problem. We currently have eight accounts in the installation.
