Spectrum

The recommended gateway software to use with Prosody is Spectrum. Spectrum is based on libpurple, the same code that the Pidgin IM client is built on. This means that its protocol support is very broad and actively developed.

Spectrum has its own configuration guide, so don't forget to read it after you have installed Spectrum. You can also refer to the general Prosody documentation for adding external components. Spectrum's 'jid' and 'password' options must match the component name and password that you specify in Prosody's configuration.

An example gateway, icq.example.com might look like this:

Prosody:

    Component "icq.example.com"
      component_secret  = "verysecret"

Spectrum:

[service]
jid = icq.example.com
password = verysecret
server = 127.0.0.1
port = 5347
