Configuring NNTPChan
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
This document provides a step-by-step guide to configurin your NNTPChan node.
|
|
|
|
## Configuring via web-interface (WIP)
|
|
|
|
You can configure NNTPChan via the web-interface by navigating your browser to http://127.0.0.1:18000.

|
|
|
### Selecting your data-storage system
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First your will be asked what data-storage system you would like to use. We support Redis and Postgres. Below we have configuration information for both Redis and Postgres.

|
|
|
|
|
#### Postgres configuration
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**First** [Install and Configure Postgres database](database/postgres/configure-postgres.md).
|
|
**Then** fill in the fields below:
|
|
|
|
* **Hostname or IP Address** - This is the hostname or IP address of your Postres server (I would run it locally on 127.0.0.1 to be safe).
|
|
* **Port number** - This is the port that your Postgres server is running on.
|
|
* **Username** - The username for Postgres.
|
|
* **Password** - The password for Postgres.
|
|

|
### Configuring the NNTP server
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fill in the fields required for the NNTP server.
|
|
|
|
* **Name of NNTP instance** - What is the significamce of this name.
|
|
* **Allow attachements** - Check the box if you want people to be able to add attachements to posts.
|
|
* **Allow anonymous posters** - Check the box if you want to allow anonymous posters.
|
|
* **Allow attachments from anonymous posters** - Check the box if you want to allow anonymous posters to add attachments to their posts.
|
|
* **Require TLS for incoming connections** - Check the box if NNTP connections must be encrypted and authenticated with TLS (highly recommended).
|
|
|
|
### Configuring TLS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fill in the fields required for the TLS security system.
|
|
|
|
* **Hostname or IP address** - Represents the `Common Name (CN)` in the TLS certificate
|
|
* **TLS keyname** - Represents the `Organization (O)` in the TLS certificate. Most nodes use `overchan`.
|
|
|
|
### Set paths to external programs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NNTPChan needs to know the paths to the listed programs on your system.
|
|
|
|
* **convert path** - Path to the `convert` program.
|
|
* **ffmpeg path** - Path to the `ffmpeg` program.
|
|
* **sox path** - Path to the `sox` program.
