#Weechat best irc client install

Many users prefer WeeChat over other graphical and terminal-based clients because of its many features and its customizability. Weechat is intended to be flexible and extensible, and thus has all sorts of plugins written in different languages including Python, Perl, and Ruby. You can still build it for yourself, see the app repository for instructions. WeeChat is a multi-platform, terminal-based Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client written in C. We used to have an Android app, but discontinued it for lack of maintainers. In the desktop version of Chrome, click Menu - More tools - Create application shortcuts.

Next, get the certificate with certbot certonly -standalone -d Chrome If you're not serving webpages on the same server or are unsure, select 'none of the above' (if you are, you can probably use that webserver to proxy your relay, and skip this-check out the instructions in our Wiki). You'll need certbot-just follow the encryptions at. These might take a few hours to propagate, if the steps below don't work right away, try again in a few hours. You'll want to set up an 'A' record to your server's IP address, and quite possibly an AAAA record to its IPv6 address. If you don't have a domain you can get a free subdomain from providers such as afraid. If you don't already have a certificate for your domain (or you don't have a domain), we strongly encourage you to get a certificate from Let's Encrypt-it's free and easy. While it's possible to use a self-signed cert, we recommend against it, because it's handled poorly in browsers, and may not work at all on mobile devices. This means that you have to set up a certificate. When using encryption, all communication between your browser and WeeChat will be securely encrypted with TLS. You can still follow the instructions below to set up an encrypted relay, though. You're using Glowing Bear over an unencrypted connection ( This is not recommended! We recommend using our secure hosted version at, or for the latest and greatest development version.
