💖 NAME 💖

prosody — the Prosody XMPP Server, bestie ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

prosody

That's it. That's the whole vibe. One word. No flags, no args, just presence. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, listen — Prosody is an XMPP server. That's the whole thing, that's what it is, no cap. 💅

But here's the part where I have to be the responsible one (ugh): you should start it using the startup script in /etc/init.d/prosody. Like, that's the move. That's how it's meant to be launched, fr fr.

Not me just raw-dogging prosody in a terminal when the startup script exists 😭 please use the script, babe. She's there for a reason.

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

  • prosodyctl(8) — her sister. Go say hi. She does the admin stuff and she's so helpful. 🫶

✨ FILES ✨

  • /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua — the config. This is where all her settings live, her little diary of options. 💖
