Setting up Weechat
Draft: Aug 16th, as I use it, I will add more, and try to add a description of the settings in the last block of text.
Let’s Encrypt
Following the instructions from README file, leads me to
https://certbot.eff.org/#ubuntutrusty-other
wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
chmod a+x certbot-autoThen,
./certbot-auto certonly --standalone -d <domain> -m <email>Make sure ports 80 and 443 are open.
The output should be something like the following.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at
/etc/letsencrypt/live/<domain>/fullchain.pem. Your cert will
expire on 2016-11-16. To obtain a new or tweaked version of this
certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto again. To
non-interactively renew *all* of your certificates, run
"certbot-auto renew"

sudo apt-get build-dep weechat
git clone <etc...>The following three lines setup a secure password database with a securing passphrase, and a password each for relay and freenode.
/secure passphrase <your passphrase>
/secure set relay-password <relay password>
/secure set freenode-sasl_password <freenode password>
/secure set slack_token <slack token[, slack token]>The rest you can copy paste directly into weechat as one block of text.
/set relay.network.password ${sec.data.relay-password}
/relay sslcertkey
/relay add ssl.weechat 9001
/set irc.server_default.nicks parsnip,parsnip0,parsnip1,parsnip2,parsnip3
/set irc.server_default.username parsnip
/set irc.server.freenode.sasl_username parsnip

/set irc.server_default.default_msg_part ""
/set irc.server_default.default_msg_quit ""
/set irc.look.display_join_message 329,332,333
/set irc.server.autojoinIssues with tmux
tmux may have problems displaying ncurses properly, so make sure that echo $TERM gives screen-256color. (For example, glitchy scrolling or bars that don’t fill screen.)
Global nicklist for a single channel
The only nick list I care for is Bitlbee’s, and I keep that at the bottom as a global bar with
/set weechat.bar.fbnl.items "@irc.<server>.<channel>:buffer_nicklist"For example.
/set weechat.bar.fbnl.items "@irc.bitlbee.&bitlbee:buffer_nicklist"Also described here: https://weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html#bar_items
fast buffer switching
This is described for instance here: https://github.com/weechat/weechat/issues/762
/trigger add numberjump modifier "2000|input_text_for_buffer" "${tg_string} =~ ^/[0-9]+$" "=/([0-9]+)=/buffer *${re:1}=" ""User punksweat on #weechat pointed out this script.
Now if you type for example /15, it is like doing /buffer 15.
filtering some of bitlbee’s join part messages.
/filter add bitlbee_filter irc.bitlbee.* irc_nick_back,irc_quit *layout
You’ll have a hard time modifying your weechat elements if you don’t know the name of things. Here’s a handy diagram from the user guide.
