How to connect from xmpp client on docker host? #170

Closed joustava closed 6 years ago

Hi thanks for this repo. I'm trying out some different xmpp servers (playing around as I'm new to it) and this one seemed the easiest to get up and running. The server runs with the default docker-compose example, and I can telnet to it with telnet localhost 5222. Only use case for now is just to run it locally.

But how would I connect to this from a xmpp client profanity running on the docker host?

Hi, you have to set the servername (xmpp host) to localhost in the client config. Never used profanity but there should be a config option to do this.

Arg, I didn't realize jid domain part and server domain do not need to match and yes, profanity supports supplying the server separately as per doc

Thanks again!
