aenigma provisions a fully functional and secure-out-of-the-box XMPP server you can get running today. It does for XMPP what <a href="https://github.com/mail-in-a-box/mailinabox">Mail-in-a-Box</a> has done for email, <a href="https://github.com/StreisandEffect/streisand">Streisand</a> for VPNs, and <a href="https://easyengine.io/">Easyengine</a> for wordpress / nginx sites hosting. The installation takes you on a 15 minute, clearly worded, step-by-step setup and takes care of everything automagically. Take a look at all of its features! <ul><li>state of the art configuration always updated with the latest functionalities and best practices for every ejabberd version</li><li>latest and most robust security by default in addition to a built-in first-boot system-wide hardening script</li><li>one touch deployment: just clone and run the setup script on one or multiple freshly installed machines</li><li>features a simple, clear, step-by-step installer that makes sure you get everything perfect on the first run</li><li>always based on the latest version of ejabberd, a modern, scalable, and robust XMPP server [thanks to the jabber.at APT repository that allows your system to keep ejabberd up to date independently of aenigma]</li><li>provisions 100% compliant servers by passing all of the <a href="https://compliance.conversations.im/about/">2018 XEP-0387 compliance checks</a> and therefore those performed by the Conversations client</li><li>natively supports [almost] signal-level encrypted conversations with all the required modules for OMEMO E2EE</li><li>allows you to and guides you through using your top level domain as the xmpp domain [@domain.xyz] while hosting the server on a subdomain [xmpp.domain.xyz] as its hostname by using SRV records [without any XMPP client UI/UX complications or TLS conflicts]</li><li>fully supports IPv6 out of the box meaning your client applications could hypothetically work on IPv6-only networks</li><li>listens for all of the required XMPP c2s [client to server], HTTP_uploads, and SSH connections also on port 443[thanks to SSLH] to allow XMPP clients and administrative workstations behind restrictive firewalls to connect without the need to circumvent the firewall with VPNs or Tor [and sets SRV records for XMPP over TLS (XEP-0368) so that clients can find this server capability autonomously and automatically]</li><li>validates all required IPv4 and IPv6 DNS settings including SRV records [even those for specific modules such as pubsub] and tells you exactly the correct values for each record [work in progress: automatic DNS provisioning via API]</li><li>sets up the system firewall and UFW rules for all configured services</li><li>installs nginx and makes the ejabberd web admin interface securely available at &lt;code&gt;<a href="https://[hostname]">https://[hostname]</a>&lt;/code&gt;</li><li>provisions and automatically renews free and fully valid LetsEncrypt wildcard TLS [SSL] certificates and correctly configures all deployed services [ejabberd, nginx, etc...] accordingly</li><li>creates ejabberd Shared Roster Groups to easily allow admins to see all users registered on their own rosters and all users online at any given time</li><li>automatically backups up all configuration, the ejabberd database, and XMPP data storage locally and [optionally] to S3 with strong encryption via duplicity and includes a script for a guided, consistent, and complete restore</li><li>allows you to easily run your aenigma instance on multiple servers [a cluster] for robustness, load distribution / balancing, and failover</li><li>idempotent and self-versioning to allow for easy re-installs, re-configurations, and upgrades</li></ul>aenigma takes a bunch of time to research, develop, maintain, and keep up to date with the latest features offered by everything in the XMPP world [ejabberd, OMEMO, and so on].
