node-xmpp-campfire

XMPP gateway for Campfire (beta)

Requires an XMPP (Jabber) client and hosted account. Google accounts will work with many third-party clients like Pidgin or Adium (Google apps accounts require DNS SRV records to be set for the apps domain - see below).

Running the gateway

• Make sure there is a DNS SRV record for your gateway host (see below)

• Clone repository:

    git clone https://github.com/causes/node-xmpp-campfire.git
    git submodule update --init
  

• Install dependencies:

    npm install node-stringprep node-xmpp step
  

• Start the server with the gateway's domain:

    node xmpp-campfire.js campfire.example.com
  

Using the gateway

"Join Group Chat" (wording may vary by client):

• Room: <Campfire account>+<Campfire room> (e.g. "mycompany+myroom")
• Server: <Gateway domain>
• Password: <Campfire username>:<Password> OR <Campfire API authentication token (recommended)>

DNS SRV records

node-xmpp-campfire requires xmpp-server DNS SRV records for both your XMPP host and the gateway host.

Examples:

// Gateway record
_xmpp-server._tcp.campfire.example.com. 7200 IN SRV 0 0 5269 server.example.com.

// Google apps
_xmpp-server._tcp.appsdomain.com. 7200 IN SRV 0 0 5269 talk.google.com.

TODO

• XMPP s2s encryption
• Support for Gmail web client
• Better error/disconnect handling
