# 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](https://prosody.im) 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.
## Prerequisite
You have to install [Prosody](https://prosody.im) on your server:
```bash
sudo apt-get install prosody
```
If you are not using prosody for anything else on your server, you can then disabled it:
```bash
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.
## Settings
### Common settings
First you have to configure [common settings](./common.md).
Then, left settings related to the [builtin converseJS](./conversejs.md) blank, and fill following settings according to this page.

#### Builtin prosody: Prosody port
