Configuring weechat's irc relay plugin turns out to be pretty simple |
|
and straightforward. The great advantage over irssi's proxy plugin |
|
for sdf/sdf-eu users is that in weechat you only need one port for |
|
all your servers whereas in irssi you need a different port for |
|
each server. |
|
|
|
sdf/sdf-eu users have one available port which is their id number. |
|
To find out your port type 'id' at the terminal. You will see |
|
something similar to this: |
|
|
|
odin:~$ id |
|
uid=007(bond) gid=500(arpa) groups=500(arpa),600(MetaARPA),700(dba),90 |
|
|
|
Which means: '007' is the port and 'bond' is the username. Let's |
|
assume now that user 'bond' wants to use the password 'james_bond'. |
|
This way, you will understand the examples better. |
|
|
|
To begin with, start weechat-curses, connect to your networks and |
|
join your favourite channels. |
|
|
|
1.- Inside weechat: |
|
|
|
|
|
/plugin |
|
|
|
The relay plugin should be loaded by default. If, for any reasons, it |
|
is not, you can load it with: /plugin load relay |
|
|
|
Then, start the configuration as follows: |
|
|
|
|
|
/relay add irc port #Remember that your port is your id number |
|
|
|
Example: /relay add irc 007 |
|
|
|
|
|
/set relay.network.password "password" |
|
|
|
Example: /set relay.network.password "james_bond" |
|
|
|
2.- Now on the client side: |
|
|
|
Configure your client to connect to sdf.org or sdf-eu.org through |
|
your port. |
|
|
|
Example: sdfeu.org/007 |
|
|
|
One important consideration here is to remember that since you are |
|
going to use the same port for all your servers, you have to make |
|
sure that your client sends the password in the form server:password. |
|
You can use the PASS command for that (PASS server:password) You have |
|
to repeat the process for each server. |
|
|
|
Examples of adding the servers with the password and connect to them: |
|
|
|
/server add freenode sdfeu.org/007 -password=freenode:james_bond |
|
|
|
and then: |
|
|
|
/connect freenode |
|
|
|
/server add oftc sdfeu.org/007 -password=oftc:james_bond |
|
|
|
and then: |
|
|
|
/connect oftc |
|
|
|
/server add sdf sdfeu.org/007 -password=sdf:james_bond |
|
|
|
and then: |
|
|
|
/connect sdf |
|
|
|
Enjoy! |
