openfire-install.md

Installing Openfire from sources

1. Setup maven repo

sudo curl https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/dchen/apache-maven/epel-apache-maven.repo \
    -o /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo
sudo sed -i s/\$releasever/6/g /etc/yum.repos.d/epel-apache-maven.repo

As seen on https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/iam-auth-connect-prerq.html

2. Install packages

sudo yum install -y apache-maven java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel patch

3. Get the source

curl -L -O https://github.com/igniterealtime/Openfire/releases/download/v4.5.3/openfire_src_4_5_3.tar.gz

4. Uncompress it in a proper folder

mkdir openfire-src
tar -C openfire-src --strip-components=1 -zxf openfire_src_4_5_3.tar.gz
cd openfire-src

5. Apply LDAP patch on Openfire source

curl -L https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/igniterealtime/Openfire/pull/1624.diff \
    | patch -p1

6. Build the app

mvn verify

7. Copy openfire binaries

sudo mv distribution/target/distribution-base /opt/openfire

8. Create Openfire user and home

sudo useradd -m -d /var/lib/openfire -u 990 -r openfire

9. Copy base files to Openfire home

sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/openfire/resources
sudo cp -an /opt/openfire/plugins            /var/lib/openfire
sudo cp -an /opt/openfire/conf               /var/lib/openfire
sudo cp -an /opt/openfire/resources/security /var/lib/openfire/resources
sudo chown -R openfire: /var/lib/openfire

10. Remove base files and set links

sudo rm -Rf /opt/openfire/plugins
sudo rm -Rf /opt/openfire/conf
sudo rm -Rf /opt/openfire/resources/security

sudo ln -sfT /var/lib/openfire/plugins             /opt/openfire/plugins
sudo ln -sfT /var/lib/openfire/conf                /opt/openfire/conf
sudo ln -sfT /var/lib/openfire/resources/security  /opt/openfire/resources/security

11. Create Openfire systemd unit
