# Prosody XMPP Server #

Prosody is a relatively simple and light-weight XMPP chat server written in Lua.
It's a good choice for an easy private chat server.

	# apt-get install prosody
	$  cat /etc/prosody/README
	Prosody configuration directory
	===============================

	The configuration file /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua should contain
	only global settings.

	Per-host configuration files should be placed in /etc/prosody/conf.avail/,
	and the active ones should be linked in /etc/prosody/conf.d/

The config files are well commented.
The default `prosody.cfg.lua` file has sane defaults.

	# cp /etc/prosody/conf.avail/example.com.cfg.lua /etc/prosody/conf.avail/host.example.com.cfg.lua
	# ln -s /etc/prosody/conf.avail/host.example.com.cfg.lua /etc/prosody/conf.d/host.example.com.cfg.lua

Open port 5222:

	# iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 5222 -j ACCEPT -m comment --comment "Server XMPP (prosody)."
