Weechat Relay

Using weechat as a relay turns weechat into a server for clients to connect and control weechat. This can be an android or web interface.

Don’t assume these passwords are safe, you should really use /secure.

SSH Relay

Add public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on server. This allows only connections to be opened to the localhost on port 9000 for this SSH key.

no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,permitopen="localhost:9000",command="echo 'This account can only be used for weechat relays'" ssh-rsa ...KEY DATA HERE...

Copy private key over to phone, enter key location

/relay add weechat 9000
/set relay.network.password *************

SSL Relay

Generate the needed files. If you want a non-self signed cert you can use letsencrypt. guide

mkdir -p ~/.weechat/ssl
cd ~/.weechat/ssl
openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout relay.pem -x509 -days 365 -out relay.pem

And in weechat run:

/relay add ssl.weechat 8080
/relay sslcertkey
/set relay.network.password *************
