summary: Serve Candy from prosody
...
Introduction
============
This is a very simple demo module showing how to serve a BOSH-using web
app from prosody.
Installation
============
[Install][doc:installing\_modules] and [enable][doc:modules\_enabled]
the module just like any other. Note the included HTML file in the
www\_files directory, this directory needs to be in the same place as
the module.
mod\_candy will automatically configure Candy for username and password
or anonymous login depending on the `authentication` option on the
current VirtualHost.
You then need to download Candy and unpack it into the www\_files
directory, for example with curl:
cd www_files
curl -OL https://github.com/candy-chat/candy/releases/download/v2.2.0/candy-2.2.0.zip
unzip candy-2.2.0.zip
After the module has been loaded, Candy will by default be reachable
from `http://example.com:5280/candy/`
It may be helpful to also enable [mod\_default\_bookmarks] so that Candy
users always have some room(s) to join, or it will show an empty screen.
