- No particular entity controls tilde.club. It's emerging as sort of an open, basically free mini-Internet for people who need some refuge from the regular Internet. It was founded with the rule, "no drama," a rule directly inspired by the Mary J. Blige song "No More Drama." So far there's only been a little drama. It's only been three weeks, though. If we're honest with ourselves there is going to be drama.
It's all moving very fast.

When we're ready to allow other tilde.club IRC servers to connect to us, these are we'll need bits of information from the remote server admin.
### Tildeverse IRC Network
1. remote IRC server IP address (this needs to be the externally-reachable IP address)
1. port the server is listening on (specifically the SSL port; we only support SSL connections)
1. the name of the remote IRC server (if it's a charybdis server, this is `name` in the `serverinfo` section of its `ircd.conf` file)
1. two passwords, one we will send to the remote server, and one we will receive from the remote server
Although we are not looking for more servers to connect to our network currently, We welcome all tildes to use our network and enjoy conversations with the rest of the tildeverse.
The remote server must choose an [SID](http://www.stack.nl/~jilles/irc/charybdis-oper-guide/configlines.htm) (one digit and two characters which can be digits or letters); these need to be unique across the peer network. (See the bottom of this page for the current list in our peer network.) This SID then goes into the `serverinfo` block of the remote server's `ircd.conf` file.
## How to connect
IRC is highly DNS-dependent; the remote IRC server must be using a DNS server which can resolve hostnames for its clients' IP addresses. So that means that if the IRC server is running on the shell server box, and clients will be connecting to `localhost`, then the DNS server needs to be able to resolve `127.0.0.1` to its valid tilde hostname; if it can't, then clients will appear as *username@127.0.0.1* rather than *username@tildehost.tld*. We're running `dnsmasq`, which is super-lightweight and uses `/etc/hosts` for its configuration -- so we were able to just add a line such as `127.0.0.1 tildehost.tld localhost` in our `/etc/hosts` and everything worked as it shoudl.
You can connect to irc.tilde.chat on port 6697 with ssl
Finally, the remote shell server should be running an identd daemon (a la `oidentd`). This is because IRC is the one service out there that really, really tries to use identd to determine the non-spoofed username of the user connecting to it.
irc.tilde.chat is a round-robin host that will return any of the available servers
Then, these are the configurations changes that we'll need to make at our end to enable the connections.
if you're getting a higher ping than you'd like, try one of the geo-round-robins: na.tilde.chat, eu.tilde.chat, and au.tilde.chat on port 6697 with ssl.
### Firewall or EC2 security group
or localhost 6667 from a shell on any of the member tildes :) (port 7766 on ~town)
The main tilde.club IRC server needs to allow traffic from the remote server; this means that we need to allow traffic from the specific IP address to port `6697` (SSL connections).
## Current linked tilde's
### charybdis ircd.conf file
There needs to be [a `connect` section](https://github.com/tildeclub/tilde.club/blob/master/docs/ircserver.md#connect-section) in the `ircd.conf` file for each remote server. See [the documentation for our server setup](https://github.com/tildeclub/tilde.club/blob/master/docs/ircserver.md#connect-section) for full information about how this is configured.
## Debugging the connections
You should have the `/var/log/charybdis/serverinfo` log file enabled, and it's this file that will contain the pertinent information about the success or failure of server connections.
## Current peered hosts and server SIDs
* tilde.club (us): `01A`
* yester.host: `42y`
* tilde.red: `42X`
* tilde.works: `42Z`
* irc.club6.nl: `6NL`

This is a literate shell program written. The formatting is pretty
straightforward. You can have documentation and code mixed up and make
nice PDFs but also spit out code. It's good for public projects. It
looks okay on Github. I'll set it up so that it automatically exports
a companion shell script in time.

kind of things they get when they log in.

## Running the server
There are some scripts in the `contrib` which will help you get started, namely
`sample.init.script`. I think it goes into `/etc/init.d`, though I might be
mistaken. Another option is a long-running tmux session. Either way, the
following runs the server:
This can be accomplished via systemd.
news $ bin/rc.news start
Here is how to enable it to start automatically:
root $ systemctl enable innd
The following runs the server:
root $ systemctl start innd
And the following stops it:
news $ bin/rc.news stop
root $ systemctl stop innd
All errors are logged to `~/log/`. `~/log/errlog` is a good resource for finding
All errors are logged to `/var/log/news`. `/var/log/errlog` is a good resource for finding
out why your news server isn't running.
## Troubleshooting the server
If you know there are articles on the server and for some reason they do not show when you connect with a client, you can rebuild your history and index's.
root $ systemctl stop innd
root $ sudo -u news bash
news $ cd /var/lib/news/
news $ time /usr/libexec/news/makehistory -b -O -f history.n
news $ awk 'NF == 2 { print }' < history >> history.n
