endmove/openfire repository overview

⁠openfire-docker

Openfire version: 4.6.4

openfire-docker is a docker image based on Ubuntu 18.04 that implements Openfire from Ignite Realtime⁠.

⁠Requirements

You only need a stable version of docker docker.

⁠Installing Docker

To begin updating the system if necessary:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Install Docker at the latest stable version:

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

⁠Installation

⁠Step One

To start download or build the "openfire-docker" image (the recommended method is to do a pull request to Dockerhub).

• Methode 1 : Pull from Dockerhub

docker pull endmove/openfire:latest

• Methode 2 : build from Github

docker build -t endmove/openfire:latest github.com/EndMove/openfire-docker

⁠Step Two

Create the Docker container, open the ports and connect the volumes.

docker create -i -t \
  --name=openfire \
  --publish 9090:9090 \
  --publish 5222:5222 \
  --publish 7777:7777 \
  --volume /home/openfire/data:/var/lib/openfire \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  endmove/openfire:latest

⁠Step Three

Command to start the container

docker start openfire

Command to stop the container

docker stop openfire

Command to remove openfire

docker rm -f openfire

⁠Utilities

This Openfire installation script provides two important volume locations to track and keep the installation up to date and in a safe place.

⁠Openfire - db, conf, plugins

# in container location:
/var/lib/openfire

# recommended docker volume:
--volume /home/openfire:/var/lib/openfire

⁠Openfire - log

# in container location:
/var/log/openfire

# recommended docker volume:
--volume /home/openfire/log:/var/log/openfire

⁠Openfire - SSL Certificate (Doesn't work)

Try to use the 'Certificate Manager Plugin', automatically installed during installation.⁠

# in container location:
/usr/share/openfire/ssl

# recommended docker volume:
--volume /home/certificate/cert:/usr/share/openfire/ssl:ro

This is an example of the contents of the file /home/certificate/cert

.
└── ssl.pem

⁠Update ?

When an update of Openfire is available and I updated the repository you just have to remove and install again the container to migrate to the new version.

WARNING: this requires that you store the Openfire data as recommended above.

⁠Available features

• Log file available out of container.
• Configuration file, security and embedded-database available out of the container.
• Makes available all the ports available in Openfire version 4.6.2.
• Includes certificate manager plugin with hotdeploy.
• Allows the import of SSL certificates that are external to the container (By using certificate manager).
