Builtin Prosody XMPP Server

Althought this mode is still experimental and under heavy development, it is the recommanded setup mode.

Peertube will launch a Prosody process, with a custom configuration.

For Docker installations

This mode is not yet compatible with a Docker Peertube installation. If you are using Docker and want to help to make this work, please contact me.

You have to install Prosody on your server:

sudo apt-get install prosody

If you are not using prosody for anything else on your server, you can then disabled it:

sudo systemctl disable prosody && sudo systemctl stop prosody

NB: the plugin will create a directory in the /tmp/ folder. Please ensure that the peertube user has write access to this directory.

And that's it!

The Prosody process launched by the plugin will listen on a specific port, and only on the localhost interface.

First you have to configure common settings.

Then, left settings related to the builtin converseJS blank, and fill following settings according to this page.

Check this checkbox to activate this mode.

This is the port that the Prosody server will use. By default it is set to 52800. If you want to use another port, just change the value here.
