I am looking for an XMPP server to install on my ubuntu server, but so far couldn't find any comparisons of the pros and cons of different implementations. Is there an implementation that is a defacto-standard (like, say, apache for http)?

The features the server should have are:

  • to play nicely with ubuntu (preferably to already be in the package sources)
  • to support encryption
  • to be easily configurable over the console

Basically you only have one option: ejabberd

The other three available in Ubuntu repo (11.04+) is:

  1. jabberd14/jabberd2 not support most of the new XEP, not sure if still actively maintained.
  2. prosody is small lua xmpp server, good for test/development but not for production.

You can look http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_XMPP_server_software for some features comparison

There is a LAMP stack that is in the repo. Just use aptitude (open console and type "aptitude" & enter ) and you will see it under the 'Tasks' tree as 'lamp-server'.
