A XMPP server written in Go.

Jackal is a modern XMPP communication server. It aims to be easy to set up and configure, and efficient with system resources. Additionally, for developers it aims to be easy to extend and give a flexible system on which to rapidly develop added functionality, or prototype new protocols.

To start using jackal, install Go and run go get:

$ go get github.com/ortuman/jackal

This will retrieve the code and install the jackal server application into your $GOBIN path.

By default the application will try to read server configuration from /etc/jackal/jackal.yaml file, but alternatively you can specify a custom configuration path from command line.

$ jackal --config=$GOPATH/src/github.com/ortuman/jackal/example.jackal.yaml
