Prosody is a flexible communications server for Jabber/XMPP written in
Lua. It aims to be easy to use, and light on resources. For developers
it aims to be easy to extend and give a flexible system on which to
rapidly develop added functionality, or prototype new protocols.

Using Prosody in an OpenBSD environment

1) Prosody documentation is available online at:

http://prosody.im/doc/configure

Use this information to edit:

${SYSCONFDIR}/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua

to your liking.

2) In order to allow for secured connections, SSL certificates need to
be generated. A Makefile is located in ${SYSCONFDIR}/prosody/certs/.
Please note that if you wish to use this file, the 'gmake' package
needs to be installed.

3) Prosody includes an rc script for starting and stopping. You can
start it by running:

# ${RCDIR}/prosody start

You can have it start automatically on boot by adding 'prosody' to your
pkg_scripts line in /etc/rc.conf.local

4) Prosody comes with prosodyctl script for controlling the daemon. Run
it without parameters to get list of commands:

# ${TRUEPREFIX}/sbin/prosodyctl

For example, to add users you would use something like:

# ${TRUEPREFIX}/sbin/prosodyctl adduser username@domain.tld

5) In case you decide to enable 'mod_storage_sql', the default SQLite3
driver has already been installed. If you like to use MySQL/MariaDB or
PostgreSQL for the database, please install luadbi-mysql or luadbi-pgsql
respectively.

For MySQL/MariaDB, also add the following to /etc/login.conf:
