It requires\nSASL over TLS for the upstream server and for the connecting clients. It\naccepts only a single client (me!) and forwards them to a single upstream\nserver. If you want to connect to multiple IRC networks then run multiple\ninstances of picobounce, each on a different port.\n\n### Building\n\nBuilds on OpenBSD with no dependencies. All other platforms require POSIX and\n[LibreSSL](https://www.libressl.org/).\n\nThe configure script will detect whatever dependencies are necessary on your\nsystem and create config.mk with the customizations.\n\n```sh\n./configure\nmake\n```\n\n### Usage\n\nThe binary is currently hard-coded to look for the certificate files my.key and\nmy.crt in the working directory. You can make those files with the openssl\ncommand line tool:\n\n```sh\nopenssl req -nodes -new -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout my.key -out my.crt\n```\n\nCreate a configuration file, e.g. pico.conf:\n\n```ini\nlocal_port=6697\nlocal_user=foo\nlocal_pass=bar\nhost=chat.freenode.net\nport=6697\nnick=your_freenode_nick\npass=your_freenode_pass\n```\n\nNow run the bouncer:\n\n```sh\n./picobounce pico.conf\n```\n\nConnect to the bouncer with your IRC client, using the local_user and\nlocal_pass as SASL parameters. Some clients like weechat might not like your\nself-signed cert. You may need to run the bouncer on a real server with certs\nfrom a CA like letsencrypt.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbegriffs%2Fpicobounce","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fbegriffs%2Fpicobounce","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fbegriffs%2Fpicobounce/lists"}
