Quickly create multiple Openfire servers with associated PostgreSQL DBs in Docker containers for local testing.
Data and config snapshots have been taken of each DB and Openfire server so that a known desired state is configured on start. See the "How it's built" section below if you want to understand how this was done or need to add more nodes.
-
Docker Compose - https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
docker build -t openfire:latest .
- Make sure you have docker and docker-compose installed
- Create a local Openfire docker image, tagged
openfire:latest
that contains the version of Openfire that you want to run- run
docker build --tag openfire:latest .
in the root of the Openfire repository (https://github.com/igniterealtime/Openfire)
- run
- Launch the environment
- use
./start.sh
if you want two federated Openfire instances, or - use
./start.sh -c
if you want three clustered Openfire instances. - use
./start.sh -co
if you want a combination: a cluster, with an additional federated Instance.
- use
Running ./start.sh
will perform some cleanup then start the containers in a federated configuration.
When running, the system looks like this:

Openfire is configured with the following hostnames/XMPP domain names:
xmpp1.localhost.example
xmpp2.localhost.example
XMPP 1 has the following users:
user1
password
user2
password
XMPP 1 hosts the following MUC rooms:
muc1
muc2
XMPP 2 has the following users:
user3
password
user4
password
XMPP 2 hosts the following MUC rooms:
muc3
muc4
Running ./start.sh -c
will perform some cleanup then start the containers in a clustered configuration.
When running, the system looks like this:

Note that the load balancer is intentionally configured to be "flappy" to simulate simple round-robin DNS load balancing, but that ports from individual servers are exposed and can be hit directly.
Openfire is configured with the following XMPP domain:
xmpp.localhost.example
Openfire is configured with the following hostnames:
xmpp1.localhost.example
xmpp2.localhost.example
xmpp3.localhost.example
The following users are configured:
user1
password
user2
password
The following MUC rooms are configured:
muc1
muc2
Running ./start.sh -co
(instead of ./start.sh -c
) will, apart from the cluster described above, also instantiate a second XMPP domain that consists of one Openfire server. This will result in the following components to be added to the system as described above:
+------------------------+
| 172.60.0.110 |

(XMPP-C2S) 5229 -| | | |
(XMPP-S2S) 5269 -|------| OTHER XMPP | |

The additional Openfire is configured with the following XMPP domain:
otherxmpp.localhost.example
Openfire is configured with the following hostname:
otherxmpp.localhost.example
The following users are configured:
user1
password
user2
password
The following MUC rooms are configured:
muc1
muc2
Note that users and MUC rooms on the additional Openfire domain have a similar name to those on the cluster. This does not lead to collisions, as the domain-part of their JIDs will differ.
The Docker compose file defines a custom bridge network with a single subnet (172.50.0.0/24
for the federated
configuration and 172.60.0.0/24
for the clustered).
To remove a node from the network run the following command:
docker network disconnect NETWORK-NAME CONTAINER-NAME
For example:
docker network disconnect openfire-testing_openfire-federated-net openfire-testing_xmpp1_1
To add a node to the network fun the following command:
docker network connect NETWORK-NAME CONTAINER-NAME
For example:
docker network connect openfire-testing_openfire-federated-net openfire-testing_xmpp1_1
To recreate the known good state for the system we first create base Openfire and Postgres containers. We then perform the manual setup and any other configuration that we require, such as adding users and MUC rooms. Once the setup is complete we dump the database from the container to the Docker host and copy the Openfire config files from the container to the Docker host. These are then used with Docker volumes for creating the same state in subsequent Openfire and Postgres containers.
Configure a docker-compose file to stand up:
- a base Openfire container (named
xmpp3
) - a base Postgres Docker container (named
db3
)
We will use these containers to configure our third node before exporting the DB and Openfire configuration. Be sure to set the correct IP addresses and increment the host port numbers so they don't clash with existing exposed ports. The convention I have followed is to increment the IP addresses by 10 and the port numbers by 1:
For xmpp1
- Openfire IP:
172.50.0.10
- DB IP:
172.50.0.11
- XMPP port:
5221
- Admin port:
9091
For xmpp2
- Openfire IP:
172.50.0.20
- DB IP:
172.50.0.21
- XMPP port:
5222
- Admin port:
9092
Example docker-compose file for our third node:
db3:
image: library/postgres:9.6.17-alpine
environment:
- "POSTGRES_DB=openfire"
- "POSTGRES_USER=openfire"
- "POSTGRES_PASSWORD=hunter2"
networks:
openfire-federated-net:
ipv4_address: 172.50.0.31
xmpp3:
image: openfire:latest
ports:
- "5223:5222"
- "9093:9090"
depends_on:
- "db3"
networks:
openfire-federated-net:
ipv4_address: 172.50.0.30
networks:
openfire-federated-net:
driver: bridge
ipam:
driver: default
config:
- subnet: 172.50.0.0/24
Run this with docker-compose up
. Once running navigate to http://localhost:9093
and manually configure the Openfire server.
The database hostname should be the name of the DB node in the compose file (so db3
in this case).
You should also get the database name, username, and password, from the compose file.
Create any configuration you require (e.g. adding users).
Create directories for the exported DB and config:
mkdir -p ./sql/3
mkdir -p ./xmpp/3
Export the database:
docker exec -t openfire-testing_db3_1 pg_dump -U openfire openfire > ./sql/3/openfire.sql
Export the Openfire configuration:
docker cp openfire-testing_xmpp3_1:/var/lib/openfire/conf ./xmpp/3/
Add the new node to the main docker-compose-federated.yml
including the volume definitions to pull in your exported base
configuration data:
...
db3:
image: library/postgres:9.6.17-alpine
environment:
- "POSTGRES_DB=openfire"
- "POSTGRES_USER=openfire"
- "POSTGRES_PASSWORD=hunter2"
volumes:
- ./sql/3:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d
networks:
openfire-federated-net:
ipv4_address: 172.50.0.31
xmpp3:
image: openfire:latest
ports:
- "5223:5222"
- "9093:9090"
depends_on:
- "db3"
volumes:
- ./_data/xmpp/3/conf:/var/lib/openfire/conf
networks:
