Similar to how exim4-config package configures exim with debconf or like
gitlab, diaspora-installer packages, I think there should be a way for
automatic configuration of prosody with recommended defaults (like http
upload, coturn, admin contacts, virtual hosts, muc, lets encrypt
certificates etc configured using debconf).

If the idea is appealing, I can help (I have done the debconf based
configs for gitlab/diaspora and manually setup prosody server).

Hi Praveen,

IMHO, that's a good idea!

Esp. I like to have a config that is as similar as possible to Snikket,
for those, who like to selfhost, but want to avoid docker.

I'm not sure, if that package should be part of prosody itself or if it
should be a separate source package with a binary package, that depends
on both prosody and prosody-modules.

Using debconf sounds good to me, too.

What do other people (in the XMPP team or outside) think about it?

Cheers

Hi

Yes, sounds nice.

another source package sounds too much. It can be included in prosody source.

Cheers
