Oh no! We cannot connect!

Configuring the relay

To start using, please enable relay in your WeeChat client:
/set relay.network.password yourpassword
/relay add weechat 9001
WeeChat version 0.4.2 or higher is required.
The communication goes directly between your browser and your weechat in clear text. Connection settings are saved between sessions, including password, in your own browser.

Shortcuts

Glowing Bear has a few shortcuts:
  • ALT+n: Toggle nicklist
  • ALT+l: Focus on input bar
  • ALT-[0-9]: Focus on buffer
  • ALT-a: Focus on next buffer with activity
If you check the encryption box, communication between browser and WeeChat will be encrypted.
Note: Due to a bug encryption will not work in Firefox. You must also first visit the URL https://weechathost:relayport/ to accept the certificate

If you want to use encrypted session you first have to set up the relay using SSL like this:
$ mkdir -p ~/.weechat/ssl
$ cd ~/.weechat/ssl
$ openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout relay.pem -x509 -days 365 -out relay.pem
If WeeChat is already running, you can reload the certificate and private key with command:
/relay sslcertkey
/relay add ssl.weechat 8000

If you have a very new Firefox you can install the frontend as an app. Click the button to install.
