How to configure or connect ejabberd 18 xmpp server to App server for push notifications ( XEP-0060 XEP-0357 )?

Question

I am using ejabberd 18 as xmpp server, to use push notification implementing mod_push, we need to connect ejabberd server to App server extending ejabberd 18, Is there any plugins or extensions available ? any other way to enable push notifications.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Answer 1

It looks like it's not possible to use some functionality like this out of the box in Ejabberd Community Edition

Check this page https://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/protocols/ and you will see that all mobile P1-Spec extensions are available only at Business Edition

However, I believe you can do what you want with Community Edition following these steps:

• Implement new plugin for Ejabberd which will listen for messages and understand whether you opponent(s) is offline.
• If someone is offline - this plugin can make a request (HTTP) to you App Server API to initiate a push delivery

I did this flow for Tigase XMPP Server and it works great for me, so I'm sure the same can be replicated for Ejabberd

I do not know any, but will need it in future as well, so would be great to know as well – Collision

Answer 3

I figured it out,

Ejabberd Community edition does not support push notification directly, one needs to write a custom module in erlang for that, But Ejabberd Saas and Business edition supports push notification directly, you'll just have to configure the settings.
