Hey Niki,

I saw your post on LQ asking for XMPP server suggestions but didn't
get a chance to respond. I would have recommended Prosody as well
since that's what I run on jabber.com.mx (public server, no landing
page yet).

I have the packages listed in the .info file from SlackBuilds as well
as luasec (SSL/TLS support) and luadbi (SQL support). Those two are
listed here: https://prosody.im/doc/depends

Client registration with Pidgin 2.10.11 is working fine here, but I am
not using a self-signed certificate. The Prosody docs state you can
create a self-signed one with their own tool, which may be a good idea
for testing. You can also try verifying the proper intermediate
certificate is added to the end of your existing certificate file.
Note the certificates need to be in PEM format:
