WMF BNC edit

As a WMF Staffer
I want to use an IRC bouncer to connect to freenode
So I can stay in touch with community and co-workers.

Status edit

Stalled Indefinitely: Ryan pointed out 2013-08-30 via IRC that something like this violates Terms of Use for Labs in several ways.; We discussed several possible changes to the proposed implementation but were unable to come up with something that would be assuredly secure.; Major issues were based on the need to keep freenode authentication information for each user on the host.

Plan edit

Establish a multi-user capable on a labs host.
Document use of BNC
Profit!!!!

Wish List edit

offline logging
ping notification
???

Software edit

ZNC looks promising to this n00b. See also:

Ubuntu 12.04 edit

    znc-python/precise-backports znc-tcl/precise-backports

Things to watch out for edit

YuviPanda says:
- don't bother trying to manage conf with puppet. Just let people use the web interface and the irc commands
- need to control access to logs as they contain sensitive info
