In this article, we will show you how to install and configure an XMPP server on an Ubuntu 16.04 server. XMPP is a open standard communication protocol for message-oriented middleware based on XML. It enables the near-real-time exchange of structured yet extensible data between any two or more networked devices.
XMPP is a communication protocol for instant messaging and presence information. It is an open standard that is used by a number of instant messaging services. XMPP servers are available for a variety of platforms, including Ubuntu. Services that use XMPP are typically able to communicate with each other, provided that they are both using compatible servers.
Overall, setting up an XMPP server on Ubuntu is a fairly simple process that can be completed in just a few steps. Once your server is up and running, you can begin chatting with friends and colleagues using a variety of XMPP-compatible clients.
