What type of hardware are you using: VPS bought online
What YunoHost version are you running: 12.0.x
What app is this about: Prosody testing
Describe your issue
Attempted to install prosody from testing branch via yunohost app install https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/prosody_ynh/tree/testing --debug. Install appears to have completed successfully, however there is no /etc/prosody/prosody.cfg.lua file so the service can’t actually start. There were also no certs generated. I opted “no” to importing the previous metronome config, if that matters.
Here’s the log of the install: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/leguvupibi
I’m going to see about finding and using that sample config file to see if that sorts things out but a basic config file seems like the kind of thing the install script should provide, no? Are there other steps I should be taking here?
