weechat's weechat relay plugin |

Weechat supports two different relay protocols: 'irc' and 'weechat'. |
|
I know that the names 'irc' and 'weechat' sound a bit confusing |
|
because they both refer to an internet protocol and an irc program |
|
and also to the names of two protocols which are specific to an irc |
|
program, weechat in this case. But I hope I can make it clear :) |
|
|
|
Last year I wrote a phlog post on how to use the 'irc' one (which can |
|
be used with almost any irc client). And today I will explain how to |
|
use weechat's weechat relay plugin (which is easier to setup but has |
|
the disadvantage that you can only connect to it with a client that |
|
supports it (for example weechat itself, QWeeChat or weechat-android). |
|
|
|
You can also read the full tutorial that I added to sdfeu's website: |
|
|
 |
Weechat tutorial |
|
|
|
Let us start from scratch. To begin with, start weechat-curses, |
|
connect to your networks/servers and join your favourite channels. |
|
|
|
In order to use the 'weechat' protocol on sdfeu you only need one |
|
single port which is your uid number. Type 'id' at the shell and you |
|
will see something similar to this: |
|
|
|
odin:~$ id |
|
uid=007(bond) gid=500(arpa) groups=500(arpa),600(MetaARPA),700(dba),90 |
|
|
|
Only the "uid" part is relevant here, "uid=007(bond)" which means |
|
that "007" is the "port" and "bond" is the "username". Let's now |
|
assume that user "bond" wants to use the password "james_bond" (This |
|
way, you will understand the examples better). |
|
|
|
- Inside weechat: |
|
|
|
* First add the relay |
|
|
|
/relay add weechat port |
|
|
|
Example: /relay add weechat 007 |
|
|
|
* Set the password |
|
|
|
/set relay.network.password "password" |
|
|
|
Example: /set relay.network.password "james_bond" |
|
|
|
- On the client side: |
|
|
|
Now, simply connect from your client to sdfeu.org using your port and |
|
your password. Your client will connect to the client running on sdfeu |
|
and connect to all the networks and channels and besides, it will |
|
retrieve the backlog. |
|
|
|
Nifty! |
