srnd.ini

srnd.ini is the configuration file for your NNTPChan node. Some configuration can be done initially through the web-interface (for now hopefully) but there is more that can be done by tweaking your srnd.ini file.

Below is the default state of the file. We will explain each section below.

##[nntp]

All NNTP server-related settings.

####instance_name

This is the name for your NNTP server. I don't really know what the point of it is, but hey its there (FIXME).

####bind

This is where you put the address and port that you would like the NNTP server to run on where x is the address and y is the port in bind=x:y.

####sync_on_start

• When this is set to 1 your NNTP server will sync articles with its peers on startup.
• When this is set to 0 then no syncing will take place on statup.

####allow_anon

• When this is set to 1 bluh.
• When this is set to 0 bluh.

####allow_anon_attachments

• When this is set to 1 bluh.
• When this is set to 0 bluh.

####allow_attachments

• When this is set to 1 posters my attach images to their posts.
• When this is set to 0 posters may not attach images to their posts.

####require_tls

• When this is set to 1 then any NNTP connection to this server will need to use TLS.
• When this is set to 0 then any NNTP connection to this server will not need to use TLS (but it could? - FIXME)

####anon_nntp

• When this is set to 1 bluh.
• When this is set to 0 bluh.

##[pprof]

All pprof-related settings.
