* Description
|
|
|
|
This layer provide support for [[http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_mono/rcirc.html][rcirc]] with optional support for authinfo

|
and ZNC.
|
|
|
|
* Features
|
|
|
|
- Store channel logs into =~/.emacs.d/.cache/rcirc-logs/<channel>=
|
|
- Support for credentials stored in =~/.authinfo.gpg= (need to have gnutls)
|

|
|
- Colored nicknames

|
** Layer
|
|
|
|
To use this contribution add it to your =~/.spacemacs=
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(rcirc))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
** Configuration
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to configure rcirc supported by the layer:
|
|
- By storing your credentials in =rcirc-server-alist= in your dotfile (not
|
|
secured)
|
|
- By storing your credentials in =rcirc-server-alist= in your Dropbox (better
|
|
but still not secured)
|
|
- By storing your credentials in authinfo (secured)
|
|
- By using a ZNC bouncer _and_ storing your credentials (secured)
|
|
|
|
*** Storing the credentials in your dotfile
|
|
|
|
You can store your servers configuration along with your credentials in the
|
|
=dotspacemacs/config= of your dotfile.
|
|
|
|
*Important:* This method is the less secured and it is not recommended since
|
|
your dotfile is often stored in a public repository and is not crypted. This
|
|
is convenient but not recommended.
|
|
|
|
**** Example:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq rcirc-server-alist
|
|
'(("irc.freenode.net"
|
|
:user "spacemacs_user"
|
|
:port "1337"
|
|
:password "le_passwd"
|
|
:channels ("#emacs"))))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
*** Storing the credentials in your Dropbox
|
|
|
|
You can store your servers configuration along with your credentials in
|
|
your dropbox in the file =~/Dropbox/emacs/pinit-rcirc.el=.
|
|
|
|
*Important:* This method is more secured since your file is stored in
|
|
a private location but it is still not crypted on your drive. Moreover
|
|
since Dropbox automatically sync your files you may have a lot of copies
|
|
of the file containing your credentials. This is convenient but not
|
|
recommended.
|
|
|
|
**** Example:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq rcirc-server-alist
|
|
'(("irc.freenode.net"
|
|
:user "spacemacs_user"
|
|
:port "1337"
|
|
:password "le_passwd"
|
|
:channels ("#emacs"))))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
*** Storing the credentials in authinfo
|
|
|
|
This method is considered secured and is the recommended way to configure
|
|
rcirc.
|
|
|
|
1) If you want to use =authinfo.gpg= you have to enable the support for it by
|
|
setting =rcirc-enable-authinfo-support= to =t= in your dotfile:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
|
|
(rcirc :variables rcirc-enable-authinfo-support t)))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
2) In your =~/.authinfo.gpg= file store your credentials like this:
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC
|
|
machine irc.freenode.net port nickserv user <user> password <passwd>
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
3) At last you need to provide your servers configuration in the
|
|
=dotspacemacs/config= function of your dotfile:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq rcirc-server-alist
|
|
'(("irc.freenode.net"
|
|
:user "spacemacs_user"
|
|
:port "1337"
|
|
:channels ("#emacs"))))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
*** Connecting behind a ZNC bouncer and storing the credentials in authinfo
|
|
|
|
This methods is also secured since it uses authinfo _but_ you must secure your
|
|
ZNC server configuration as well!
|
|
|
|
ZNC is a popular bouncer which is easy to setup. A bouncer is a proxy that
|
|
connects to your IRC channels on your behalf, instead of connecting to the IRC
|
|
server you connect to your ZNC server. The ZNC server can store the discussions
|
|
in a buffer while you are not connected.
|
|
|
|
**** Disclaimer
|
|
This assumes that you are familiar with ZNC and you have a ZNC server properly
|
|
setup. If it is not the case then it is recommended to read about ZNC
|
|
[[http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC][here]]. There is also an installation guide for Ubuntu [[https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-znc-an-irc-bouncer-on-an-ubuntu-vps][here]].
|
|
|
|
**** Note
|
|
For now authinfo is mandatory to use the ZNC configuration.
|
|
|
|
1) To enable ZNC support set the variable =rcirc-enable-znc-support= to =t= in
|
|
your dotfile:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(
|
|
(rcirc :variables rcirc-enable-authinfo-support t)))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
2) In your =~/.authinfo.gpg= file store your credentials like this:
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC
|
|
machine freenode.spacemacsserver.me port irc user spacemacs_user/freenode password ZNC_PASSWORD
|
|
machine geekshed.spacemacsserver.me port irc user spacemacs_user/geekshed password ZNC_PASSWORD
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
|
|
*Important* =port= must be set to =irc=. This is a convention of the layer to
|
|
retrieve the credentials for the ZNC configuration.
|
|
|
|
3) Then setup your servers configuration using subdomains in the
|
|
=dotspacemacs/config= function of your dotfile. The =:auth= keyword arguments
|
|
will be replaced by the credentials stored in your =~/.authinfo.gpg=.
|
|
|
|
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
|
|
(setq rcirc-server-alist
|
|
;; This will replace :auth with the correct thing, see the doc for that function
|
|
'(("freenode"
|
|
:host "freenode.spacemacsserver.me"
|
|
:port "1337"
|
|
:auth "spacemacs_user/freenode"
|
|
:channels ("#emacs"))
|
|
("geekshed"
|
|
:host "geekshed.spacemacsserver.me"
|
|
:port "1337"
|
|
:auth "spacemacs_user/geekshed"
|
|
:channels ("#jupiterbroadcasting"))))
|
|
#+END_SRC
|
|
