Today, we are happy to announce our official Linux packages repository: a source of .deb and .rpm packages for ejabberd Community Server. This repository provides a new way for the community to install and upgrade ejabberd.

All details on how to set this up are described on the dedicated website:
https://repo.process-one.net

What packages are available?

Currently, the latest DEB and RPM packages are available for the open-source ejabberd version (eCS 22.05). New versions will be published as they’re released to https://repo.process-one.net.

Which platforms are currently supported?

The DEB and RPM packages currently target popular amd64 and arm64 systems. So if you are using Debian or centOS you should be fine. If your platform is not in this list, you can open an issue on Github describing which platform you would like to be added.

We aim to expand the support to other widely adopted architectures and platforms in the future.

What is next?

In addition to providing packages for ejabberd for upcoming releases, as well as expanding distribution and architecture support, we will make improvements to this official repository. Away from prying eyes, we’ve been studying the possibility to make ejabberd’s installers (.deb, .rpm, .run) directly on Github below each Release and that’s now the case! You can check them here now.

We’re looking forward to the community feedback on these packages to provide the best possible experience. Feel free to get in touch if needed!
