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. 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 useoverchan.
Set paths to external programs
NNTPChan needs to know the paths to the listed programs on your system.
- convert path - Path to the
convertprogram. - ffmpeg path - Path to the
ffmpegprogram. - sox path - Path to the
soxprogram.
Manual configuration (WIP)
