Event description

I wonder what is the longest running XMPP service without a restart.

I watch a few servers running Tigase but then I restart them from time to time for software update with new features or bug fixes.

One of them is im.flosoft.biz which runs on quite old Celeron 1.33GHz machine with 200MB memory. Serves approximately 800 online users and works well for 75 days already without a restart. This is a development version of the Tigase 5.1.0 branch but indeed, Florian pushes me to release it as another stable version.

I have found however an absolute winner in this 'competition'. The last time I checked it earlier today the Tigase uptime time was: 657 days, 6 hours, 53 mins, 21 secs. This is a service running on MS Windows machine for online gaming website and most of the user connections are web clients connecting via Bosh. It is still running and working well!

I have also received a few other reports from people successfully running Tigase, as they say for 2 years without restart. If you have any specific data, number of days, the software version, please add a comment to this article. I would like to hear about your experience with long-running Tigase server.

Tigase.im is a public XMPP service available to everybody. We have just added a new feature - you can now have own domain and register XMPP accounts within the domain.

If you want to experiment with XMPP server, setup own small service, you don't need now own server running somewhere. You can just use our public and free to all server.

Please note, this service runs on the development version of the Tigase XMPP Server. While we try to make it as reliable as possible you may experience periodic restarts. On the other hand all the most recent stuff are available there. All the experimental code and new features. If you want to test your client, library or other code, this might be a good place to do it.

All details on the front page.

I have added a Mini Shop on the Tigase.org website as an experimental feature.

Right now it is starting with two items - PDF versions of the administrator and developer guide available on the Tigase.org website. Yes, these are the exact copies of what you have for free online. Well, exact as to the content not to the form.

The PDF version are more convenient for offline reading or printing. They have two tables of contents, one with links pointing to the original articles on the website and the other one - PDF table of content helping you with navigation within the document.

I hope you find it useful and convenient. For a limited period of time you can use a coupon code: tigase-shop to get 50% discount on all e-book purchases.

If you have any comments, suggestions or ideas, or if there is something else you would like to see in the shop please let me know.

We have just started a new website and XMPP server: Tigase.im.

This is a mixture of the Drupal CMS and the Tigase XMPP Server features where we want to provide users with a very close integration between these services.

For now this is just online account management but soon we want to offer much more. Ideas are endless and probably we are unable to make them all real on our own. Therefore, we encourage you to join. Simply use the service and enjoy it. If you are happy to contribute or just trow ideas you are very welcomed too.

Check the website for all the details.
