Tigase on Ubuntu hanging on install.

Okay so following this guide, I'm trying to install a testing version of Tigase.

First error I run into is:

glant0s@tigase:~/tigase-server-8.0.0-b10083$ scripts/tigase.sh start etc/tigase.conf
JAVA_HOME is not set.

So after a quick search, I run:

glant0s@tigase:~/tigase-server-8.0.0-b10083$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64

But after, when I run lsof -i -P, all I see is:

COMMAND  PID    USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java    1309 glant0s  119u  IPv6  21650      0t0  TCP *:8080 (LISTEN)

Whereas the tutorial tells me I'm supposed to be seeing:

COMMAND   PID   USER   FD   TYPE   DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
java    18387 tigase  141u  IPv6 22185825      0t0  TCP *:8080 (LISTEN)

java    18387 tigase  152u  IPv6 22185838      0t0  TCP *:5269 (LISTEN)

My system is:

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS
Release:        18.04
Codename:       bionic
glant0s@tigase:~/tigase-

If anyone can help a newbie out on the best practices of running an XMPP server? That'd be awesome.

Also, do you know a good rum? As I type this I'm sipping Flor de Caña 10 year, and for all you dark rum lovers I need to say this stuff is delicious!

Generally I'd consider best it best practice to use the software shipped with your distro (especially if you're a newbie).
This way everything is likely to be configured to work straight out of the box. A quick search seems to indicate that prosody could be a good option for you.
Have a look at https://www.prosody.im/

Hi!

At this point you should connect to Web Installer from your browser: https://hostname:8080/ and complete setup procedure (most important providing database details). Afterwards you should restart the service.
