Managing Chat

config on host stored in /etc/ergo.yaml. should pull from github

/server add ocf irc.ocf.io /connect ocf

IRC¶

account creation¶

https://github.com/ergochat/ergo/blob/stable/docs/USERGUIDE.md#account-registration connect to ocf, have the nickname you want /msg NickServ register mySecretPassword validEmailAddress@example.com

SASL¶

this section of libera.chat SASL:

/set irc.server.ocf.sasl_mechanism plain
/set irc.server.ocf.sasl_username USERNAME
/set irc.server.ocf.sasl_password PASSWORD

(NEEDS ROOT) connect to irc.ocf.io as your normal user

this oper named "admin" is defined in ergo.yaml. the only op on the server, with the password only accessible to root users. /oper admin ADMINPASSWORD

IRC Channel OP¶

connect to irc.ocf.io channel already exists

/msg ChanServ OP #channelname

Channel creation¶

/join #channelname /msg ChanServ REGISTER #channelname

NOTE: need to find way to declaratively create and register channels when server starts

If you restart anything, you better set aside time to debug the bridges.....

Matrix¶

to create a new channel, you must be a Matrix admin TODO document how to do this with SQL to your user. it is not set with nix

also, don't forget postgres needs to be manually updated between postgres versions lol

I'm not in one of the rooms on matrix! How do I join?¶

go to matrix, add a room, remove the 'public room' or other search filter, #_discord_735620315111096391_1288710167633985536:ocf.io
