I want to to use Pidgin as a instant messaging client. Then I want to make peer-to-peer connection using XMPP protocol. I do not want to use a solution including a server.
I have try and inspect those things below:
- XMPP protocol says it is a decentralized solution for im and it needs 'servers',
- Official XMPP web site also states that there is an extention for serverless messaging, but i do not get it and how to implement it in pidgin?
- The official XMPP states there is something called Jingle, and through jingle anyone can send media/files peer-to-peer. But if I didn't understand wrong as a client I still connected to a server?,
- 11 years ago this question had been asked:Is XMPP peer to peer connection without server possible? Unfortunately who asked the question was looking for something like WebRTC. Check the answers. This is not what i am looking for.
- Also there's 'ejabberd'. If you use ejabberd you still make connection to ejabberd daemon and you are not instant messaging peer-to-peer. Host Unknown - XMPP Pidgin
So my question is simple: By using "pidgin" as a client and "xmpp" as protocol; is it possible to make peer-to-peer instant messaging? And if it is possible, how can I make it?
Thank you.
