Guide to setup irc with tmux on a server as a pseudo bouncer.

persistent_irc.txt

initial setup:

1. ssh into your server and create a new tmux session called irc:
$> ssh -t $user@$server tmux new -A -s irc

2. Run an irc client of your choice like irssi or weechat:
$> weechat

3. Configure the client to your liking.


Use the shortcut  C-b d  to detach from the tmux session. The ssh
connection will close.

To attach to the irc tmux session, use:
$> ssh -t $user@$server tmux new -A -s irc

I've aliased the last command to "irc":
$> alias irc="ssh -t $user@$server tmux new -A -s irc"

Add it to the .bashrc if you like.
