New page

Since we got a lot of people using ZNC, we installed it on the server so you no longer have to compile it yourself.
To get started using your own ZNC client pick a open port you can use (see [[shells_ports]] for more info on this).

Next we tell ZNC to make a new config file for us:
<pre>znc --makeconf</pre>

It will ask you a few configuration questions:

[ ?? ] What port would you like ZNC to listen on? (1 to 65535): '''<port you picked>'''
[ ?? ] Would you like ZNC to listen using SSL? (yes/no) [no]: '''yes''' (You can pick no, but SSL is better security wise)
[ ?? ] Would you like ZNC to listen using ipv6? (yes/no) [no]: '''no'''
[ ?? ] Listen Host (Blank for all ips): '''<leave blank>'''

Then it will ask you if you want to load any global modules, normally you won't have to:

[ ?? ] Do you want to load any global modules? (yes/no): '''no'''

Now it will ask you for your user configuration:

[ ?? ] Username (AlphaNumeric): '''yournick'''
[ ?? ] Enter Password: '''<enter a password to connect to your znc here>'''
[ ?? ] Confirm Password: '''<and again>'''
[ ?? ] Would you like this user to be an admin? (yes/no) [yes]: '''yes'''
[ ?? ] Nick [yournick]: '''<press enter>'''
[ ?? ] Alt Nick [yournick_]: '''<press enter>'''
[ ?? ] Ident [yournick: '''<press enter>'''
[ ?? ] Real Name [Got ZNC?]: '''<press enter or set something you want'''
[ ?? ] VHost (optional): '''<press enter>'''
[ ?? ] Would you like ZNC to keep trying for your primary nick? (yes/no) [no]: '''<press enter>'''
[ ?? ] Number of lines to buffer per channel [50]: '''<press enter>'''
[ ?? ] Would you like to keep buffers after replay? (yes/no) [no]: '''<press enter>'''
[ ?? ] Default channel modes [+stn]: '''<press enter>'''

Now it will ask you if you want to load any user modules, again, this is normally not needed.

[ ?? ] Do you want to automatically load any user modules for this user? (yes/no): '''no'''

Now it's time to add IRC servers and channels it will connect to for you.

[ ?? ] IRC server (host only): '''irc.insomnia247.nl'''
[ ?? ] [irc.insomnia247.nl] Port (1 to 65535) [6667]: '''6669'''
[ ?? ] [irc.insomnia247.nl] Password (probably empty): ''',leave empty unless you need a password to connect to the server'''
[ ?? ] Does this server use SSL? (probably no) (yes/no) [no]: '''yes'''
[ ?? ] Would you like to add another server? (yes/no) [no]: '''no'''

[ ?? ] Would you like to add a channel for ZNC to automatically join? (yes/no) [yes]: '''yes'''
[ ?? ] Channel name: '''#shells'''
[ ?? ] Would you like to add another channel? (yes/no) [no]: '''no'''

Now finally you get the chance to set up another user for ZNC, this is also normally not needed as it's only you that uses it.

[ ?? ] Would you like to setup another user? (yes/no) [no]: '''no'''

Finally it will ask you if you want to start ZNC now, you can pick '''yes''' here, but it will usually fail with "[No such file or directory]"

If you have configured your ZNC with SSL, it will need to create a .pem file (SSL certificate) when you run ZNC

[ ?? ] Would you like to create a new pem file? (yes/no) [yes]: '''yes'''
[ ?? ] hostname of your shell (including the '.com' portion): '''insomnia247.nl'''

Your ZNC should now be up and running, you can connect to it from your normal IRC client with the command

/server insomnia247.nl '''port''' '''yournick''':'''yourpassword'''

Don't forget to include the '''-ssl''' option if you configured it to use SSL.
