bsdznc

Description

FreeBSD ZNC server.

Usage

Include either the bsdznc::default recipe, or use the LWRP directly, e.g.,

bsdznc 'default' do
  action :create
end

# Now make sure the SSL certificate exists, then start ZNC.

bsdznc 'default' do
  action :start
end

You must provide a valid SSL certificate. If you use the default recipe, this is handled by the certificate cookbook. You must have an encrypted data bag under certificates with id znc. See the certificate cookbook docs for how to create this.

Access the web admin at https://example.com/. The ZNC server will listen for IRC connections on port 194.

A minimal znc.conf will be created with user admin and password password. This should be changed immediately.

The znc.conf file is only created if it does not exist: it will not be touched otherwise. You should backup this file regularly as it contains all server and user settings configured through the web admin.
