Prosody Admin Docs

See also our user facing docs.

Our XMPP server runs prosody on mcchesney.mayfirst.org.

Our custom configuration is in /etc/prosody/conf.d/im.mayfirst.org.cg.lua - please do not edit /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua.

We using an external auth script to authenticate people (/etc/prosody/mf-auth.py) that uses our login service so everyone can login with the user/pass that they already have.

Modules

We have the prosody-modules package installed via debian and from that package we have enabled the carbons (copy messages to all clients) and smacks (stream management) modules.

DNS

We have srv records:

0 jamie@turkey:~$ dig +short @a.ns.mayfirst.org -t srv _xmpp-client._tcp.mayfirst.org
0 0 5222 im.mayfirst.org.
0 jamie@turkey:~$ dig +short @a.ns.mayfirst.org -t srv _xmpp-server._tcp.mayfirst.org
0 0 5269 im.mayfirst.org.
0 jamie@turkey:~$ 

In theory you should be able to use <username>@mayfirst.org rather than <username>@im.mayfirst.org.
