Ready to go prosody.cfg.lua

You can download the file from here. or copy the following code-box, If you didn't adjust your config file in the Configuration section of the guide. The changed lines are highlighted.

prosody.cfg.lua
-- Prosody Configuration  from Menel's guide
--
-- If it wasn't already obvious, -- starts a comment, and all 
-- text after it on a line is ignored by Prosody.
--
-- The config is split into sections, a global section, and one 
-- for each defined host that we serve. You can add as many host 
-- sections as you like.
--
-- Lists are written
_ = { "like", "this", "one" } 
-- Lists can also consist of { 1, 2, 3 } numbers, etc. 
-- Either commas or semicolons may be used
-- as separators.
--
-- A table is a list of values, except each value has a name. An 
-- example would be:
--
-- example_ssl = { key = "keyfile.key", certificate = "certificate.crt" }
--
-- Whitespace (i.e. tabs, spaces, line breaks) is mostly insignificant, so 
-- can 
-- be placed anywhere
-- that you deem appropriate.
--
-- Tip: You can check that the syntax of this file is correct
-- when you have finished by running this command:
--     prosodyctl check config
-- If there are any errors, it will let you know what and where
-- they are; otherwise, it will remain silent.

---------- Server-wide settings ----------
-- Settings in this section apply to the whole server and are the default settings
-- for any virtual hosts

-- This is a (by default, empty) list of accounts that are admins
-- for the server. Note that you must create the accounts separately
-- (see https://prosody.im/doc/creating_accounts for info)
-- Example: admins = { "user1@example.com", "user2@example.net" }

admins = { me@example.org } --######change this ############################

-- This option allows you to specify additional locations where Prosody
-- will search first for modules. For additional modules you can install, see
-- the community module repository at https://modules.prosody.im/

modules_disabled = {

}

--Additional config:
tls_profile = "modern" -- Enforce TLS1.3 

--Ports changed:
https_ports = { 443 } --https over 443 not 5281
c2s_direct_tls_ports = { 5223 } --enable direct_tls
s2s_direct_tls_ports = { 5270 } --enable direct_tls

-- Server-to-server authentication
-- Require valid certificates for server-to-server connections?
-- If false, other methods such as dialback (DNS) may be used instead.

s2s_secure_auth = true

-- Some servers have invalid or self-signed certificates. You can list
-- remote domains here that will not be required to authenticate using
-- certificates. They will be authenticated using other methods instead,
-- even when s2s_secure_auth is enabled.

--s2s_insecure_domains = { "insecure.example" }

-- Even if you disable s2s_secure_auth, you can still require valid
-- certificates for some domains by specifying a list here.

--s2s_secure_domains = { "jabber.org" }


-- Rate limits
-- Enable rate limits for incoming client and server connections. These help
-- protect against excessive resource consumption and denial-of-service attacks.

limits = {
    c2s = {
        rate = "10kb/s";
    };
    s2sin = {
        rate = "30kb/s";
    };
}

-- Authentication
-- Select the authentication backend to use. The 'internal' providers
-- use Prosody's configured data storage to store the authentication data.
-- For more information see https://prosody.im/doc/authentication

authentication = "internal_hashed"

-- Many authentication providers, including the default one, allow you to
-- create user accounts via Prosody's admin interfaces. For details, see the
-- documentation at https://prosody.im/doc/creating_accounts


-- Storage
-- Select the storage backend to use. By default, Prosody uses flat files
-- in its configured data directory, but it also supports additional backends
-- via modules. An "sql" backend is included by default, but requires
-- additional dependencies. See https://prosody.im/doc/storage for more information.

--storage = "sql" -- Default is "internal"

-- For the "sql" backend, you can uncomment *one* of the following to configure:
--sql = { driver = "SQLite3", database = "prosody.sqlite" } -- Default. 'database' is the filename.
--sql = { driver = "MySQL", database = "prosody", username = "prosody", password = "secret", host = "localhost" }
--sql = { driver = "PostgreSQL", database = "prosody", username = "prosody", password = "secret", host = "localhost" }


-- Archiving configuration
-- If mod_mam is enabled, Prosody will store a copy of every message. This
-- is used to synchronise conversations between multiple clients, even if
-- they are offline. This setting controls how long Prosody will keep
-- messages in the archive before removing them.

archive_expires_after = "3 weeks" -- Remove archived messages after 3 weeks
muc_log_expires_after = "3 weeks" --increase server-side archive from 1 week to 3 for rooms too

-- You can also configure messages to be stored in-memory only. For more
-- archiving options, see https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_mam


-- Audio/video call relay (STUN/TURN)
-- To ensure clients connected to the server can establish connections for
-- low-latency media streaming (such as audio and video calls), it is
-- recommended to run a STUN/TURN server for clients to use. If you do this,
-- specify the details here so clients can discover it.
-- Find more information at https://prosody.im/doc/turn

-- Specify the address of the TURN service (you may use the same domain as XMPP)
--turn_external_host = "turn.example.com"

-- This secret must be set to the same value in both Prosody and the TURN server
--turn_external_secret = "your-secret-turn-access-token"


-- Logging configuration
-- For advanced logging see https://prosody.im/doc/logging
log = {
    --info = "prosody.log"; -- Change 'info' to 'debug' for verbose logging
    --error = "prosody.err";
     "*syslog"; -- We log to syslog
    -- "*console"; -- Log to the console, useful for debugging when running in the foreground
}


-- Uncomment to enable statistics
-- For more info see https://prosody.im/doc/statistics
-- statistics = "internal"


-- Certificates
-- Every virtual host and component requires a certificate so that clients and
-- servers can securely verify its identity. Prosody will automatically load
-- certificates/keys from the directory specified here.
-- For more information, including how to use 'prosodyctl' to auto-import certificates
-- (from e.g. Let's Encrypt) see https://prosody.im/doc/certificates

-- Location of directory to find certificates in (relative to main config file):
certificates = "certs"

----------- Virtual hosts -----------
-- You need to add a VirtualHost entry for each domain you wish Prosody to serve.
-- Settings under each VirtualHost entry apply *only* to that host.

VirtualHost "example.com" --#### Change This Name to yours #########

Component "rooms.example.com" "muc" --#### Change This Name to yours #########
restrict_room_creation = "local" 

Component "share.example.com" "http_file_share" --#### Change This Name to yours #########
modules_disabled = { "s2s" } -- we don't need this module on this Component
http_file_share_size_limit = 1024 * 1024 * 100 -- 100MB max upload size
http_file_share_expires_after = "3 weeks"

http_paths = {
file_share = "/"; 
}
-- See https://prosody.im/doc/modules/mod_http_file_share




------ Components ------
---Set up an external component (default component port is 5347)
--
-- External components allow adding various services, such as gateways/
-- bridges to non-XMPP networks and services. For more info
-- see: https://prosody.im/doc/components#adding_an_external_component
--
--Component "gateway.example.com"
--  component_secret = "password"


---------- End of the Prosody Configuration file ----------
-- You usually **DO NOT** want to add settings here at the end, as they would
-- only apply to the last defined VirtualHost or Component.
--
-- Settings for the global section should go higher up, before the first
-- VirtualHost or Component line, whilst settings intended for specific hosts
-- should go under the corresponding VirtualHost or Component line.
--
-- For more information see https://prosody.im/doc/configure
