Irssi
First, add the Xinutec network to your configuration with the following command:
/network add xinutec
If you want to just connect to the network, enter the following command:
/server add -ssl_verify -auto -network xinutec irc.xinutec.net 6697
This will add the server and connect to it automatically whenever irssi is
started (because of
-auto
). In order to add the changes to your config file, you need to use
/save
As the last step, you probably want to connect to the network:
/connect xinutec
All done!
Here's an example of what the default configuration of irssi looks like:
Using a client certificate
This is only required if you want to register your channels because you're a channel operator.
SSL client certificates are our official way of registering channels and handling channel access control. Please read this article along with the article on channel modes before continuing with the irssi specific instructions below.
Assuming you followed the instructions linked above, you now have a client
certificate with associated private key, so save them both in
~/.irssi/client.pem
by concatenating them with the following shell-command:
cat key.pem cert.pem > ~/.irssi/client.pem
and use the following irssi command, all on one line:
/server add -ssl_cert ~/.irssi/client.pem -ssl_verify -auto -network xinutec irc.xinutec.net 6697
If you aren't sure what these flags do, take a look at
/help server
In case you already registered the network and server in your client, you can
either remove the server with
/server remove irc.xinutec.net
and re-add it
as above, or manually edit the configuration file
~/.irssi/config
using your
favourite text editor, so that it contains a section like this in the servers
list:
{ address = "irc.xinutec.net"; chatnet = "xinutec"; port = "6697"; ssl_cert = "~/.irssi/client.pem"; autoconnect = "yes"; },
If you later decide that you don't want to use a client certificate, simply
remove the line that starts with
ssl_cert
.
