## What is Prosody?
Prosody is a modern XMPP communication server. It aims to be easy to set up and configure, and efficient with system resources.
Additionally, 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.
### Example
```
# docker run -d \
--name prosody
-p 5222:5222 \
-p 5269:5269 \
-e LOCAL=romeo \
-e DOMAIN=shakespeare.lit \
-e PASSWORD=juliet4ever \
-v /data/prosody/vhosts:/etc/prosody/conf.d \
-v /data/prosody/modules:/usr/local/lib/prosody/modules \
joschi/prosody-alpine:0.10.0-1
```
## Configuration
The default [Prosody configuration file](prosody.cfg.lua) can be overwritten entirely (`/etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua`) or extended by adding configuration snippets into the `/etc/prosody/conf.d/` directory.
### Virtual hosts
New domains can be added by placing configuration snippets with the virtual host definitions to `/etc/prosody/conf.d/`.i
Minimal example:
```
# cat vhosts/example-org.cfg.lua
VirtualHost "example.org"
enable = true
# docker run -d \
--name prosody
-p 5222:5222 \
-p 5269:5269 \
-v /data/prosody/vhosts:/etc/prosody/conf.d \
joschi/prosody-alpine:0.10.0-1
```
### Creating a user
This Docker image supports creating a single user on startup by providing the following environment variables:
* `LOCAL`: local part of the JID
* `DOMAIN`: domain part of the JID
* `PASSWORD`: plaintext password of the user
For example, the environment variables `LOCAL=foobar`, `DOMAIN=example.com`, `PASSWORD=supersecret` would create a user named "foobar@example.com" with the password "supersecret".
Other than that, users can be created using [`prosodyctl`](https://prosody.im/doc/prosodyctl) in a running container:
```
# docker exec -it prosody prosodyctl register foobar example.com supersecret
```
## Prosody modules
Additional modules, e. g. from the [Prosody Community Modules](https://modules.prosody.im/), can be added by putting the Lua files into the `/usr/local/lib/prosody/modules/` directory.
## Persistent data
Prosody only writes data into two locations, which have to be persisted in Docker volumes to survive a container restart:
* `/var/lib/prosody/`: The Prosody [`data_path`](https://prosody.im/doc/configure#general_server_settings)
* `/var/run/prosody/prosody.pid`: The Prosody [`pidfile`](https://prosody.im/doc/configure#posix-only_options).
