Prosody IM
Feature-rich and easy to configure XMPP server.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is Prosody IM actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Prosody IM is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at hg.prosody.im — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Prosody IM actually does
Prosody IM is an XMPP server written in Lua that handles instant messaging and chat protocols. It provides a lightweight backend for hosting private or public communication services based on open standards. Administrators can configure its modular architecture to manage user accounts and message routing.
Best fit: It is well-suited for system administrators looking to deploy a lightweight, standards-compliant XMPP messaging service using minimal resources.
Worth knowing: The community activity metrics are unavailable or low, meaning you may need to rely primarily on documentation and self-support for troubleshooting. XMPP deployments also require client-side configuration across all user devices to function effectively.
Deployment notes
As a Lua application, it typically requires Lua dependencies and modules installed on the host system or container. You will usually need to configure persistent storage for user data and set up a reverse proxy to handle secure TLS connections.
