mod_admin_telnet Admin Console

It is possible to reload the configuration, enable or disable a module, and take a look at Prosody's internals using mod_admin_telnet.

Details

mod_admin_telnet allows a telnet connection to be made to the Prosody server. More detailed information is available.

By default the telnet console can only be accessed from the same machine as Prosody. Because there is no authentication, it should not be enabled on servers that may be accessed by untrusted users.

Usage

    modules_enabled = {
        -- Other modules
        "admin_telnet"; -- Enable mod_admin_telnet
    }

Configuration

Option	Default	Notes
console_ports	{ 5582 }	Which ports to listen on for telnet connections

Example

    modules_enabled = {
        -- Other modules
        "admin_telnet"; -- Enable mod_admin_telnet
    }
 
    console_ports = { 5582, 5583 }
