So, yesterday I heard about prosody, a jabber server implemented in Lua. After some ground testing, I connected to the room of prosody and found a nice small community with friendly people, who answered all my question very nicely.
After that and the result of my testing, I decided to give prosody a try. Cause of the migrate script from ejabberd2 to prosody, it was easy as hell to migrate everything to prosody. I think it took me less than an hour to migrate the jabber stuff.
Later the day I migrated my transports. This took most of the time, but only caused by me, doing it not how the docu says to do it.
Now I’ll see if it is as nice as I think it is. One argument for me to migrate was the thing, that I’m able to develop modules with a script language (remember, it is build totally in Lua) and that I’m able to re/load the currently developed module on the fly while the server is online. Thats really nice, so I can learn Lua without any problems e.g. need to restart the server or so.
If you want to migrate or setup a jabber server with prosody too, I think I can say don’t hesitate to ask your questions at prosody@conference.prosody.im or ask me at ephraim@0×10.de.
Ciao Ephraim
