Very short intro to prosody

Prosody is a jabber server. For the configuration, see here. In short it boils down to 1) add a host (and its certificates) and 2) add users.

Add a host

For testing you can use the commands that are provided by prosodyctl:

prosodyctl cert generate example.com

Add users

Per default there are two users added to the docker container (see folder accounts where you find alice.dat and bob.dat) both with the password abc. If you want additional users you can for example run

prosodyctl adduser john@example.com

and add the password twice.

Production use

For production use you probably want to use a volume for the user accounts and set the container to read-only.

docker volume create --name prosody-data
docker run -d \
     --name prosody \
     -p 5222:5222 \
     -p 5269:5269 \
     -p 5281:5281 \
     --read-only \
     --tmpfs=/var/run/prosody:rw,size=787448k,mode=1777,uid=100 \
     -v prosody-data:/var/lib/prosody/ \
     swerter/prosody
