Prosody on a Mac
Lightweight XMPP (Messages) server · Chat & Collaboration
Prosody is a small, modern XMPP server; the natural replacement for Apple Server's Messages (jabberd) service. Install with Homebrew (brew install prosody) or a Linux package, add your domain and users in prosody.cfg.lua, and any XMPP client (Messages.app, Gajim, Conversations) connects on 5222/5269. Enable mod_smacks + mod_carbons for a modern IM experience.
