Glowing Bear + Weechat relay

install.rst

Here's how to have a similar setup to irccloud, using any ssh-enabled host (this works with people.mozilla.com)

Running weechat on the server side

$ tmux
$ weechat

In weechat, enable to relay:

/set relay.network.password yourpassword
/relay add weechat 9001

Then disconnect your tmux session (ctrl + b + d)

On your client

You can use any ssh enabled host as a VPN (no need to have ssh-agent enabled on the host)

$ sudo apt-get install sshuttle
$ sshuttle -r user@people.mozilla.com 0/0

And then, connect with glowing-bear, on http://www.glowing-bear.org/. Enter the following options:

• host: people.mozilla.com
• port: 9001
• password: yourpassword

And that should be it!

Another way to do it:

1/ add the relay as explained above (pick another number than 9001 for the port, one that's not already in use!), say 54321
2/ on your computer, start a ssh tunnel: ssh -L54321:localhost:54321 magopian@people.mozilla.org
3/ open http://www.glowing-bear.org/ with the following options:

• host: localhost
• port: 54321
• password: yourpassword
