Installs Prosody (XMPP/Jabber server written in Lua) via package and configures core settings, VirtualHosts and some modules.
Include recipe[prosody::default]
in your run_list
and do further configuration via node attributes.
If you want a more recent version of Prosody (Debian Squeeze has 0.7.0 but 0.8.2 is available from here) you might use recipe[prosody::use_community_repos]
to enable APT repositories maintained by the Prosody community (needs the apt cookbook).
- no support for managing the user database (cause
prosodyctl
is interactive and limited) - no logrotate support for non-default log file location
It should work on all OSes that provide a (recent, versions around 0.7.0 or better) prosody package.
Installs Prosody package, downloads specified additional modules and auxillary files by URL (node["prosody"]["plugins"]
), creates all necessary VirtualHost definitions in /etc/prosody/conf.avail
, links the enabled ones into /etc/prosody/conf.d
(directory automatically included in core config) and generates the core configuration. Finally restarts the service.
A working Prosody (with one VirtualHost for localhost) is configured by the default attributes.
Your minimal modifications to customize your Prosody should include specifying an admin account JID (node["prosody"]["admins"]
, it's a list), a VirtualHost for your domain (in node["prosody"]["hosts"]
) and to enable this VirtualHost (via node["prosody"]["conf_enabled"]
).
If you're on Debian Squeeze (or Lenny) this will enable the Prosody community APT repository providing newer versions - include this in your run_list
before recipe[apt]
.
