#IRC Reference

Not intended as a guide for newbies, more like a "cheat sheet" for the somewhat experienced IRC user, especially one who wields some power over a channel.

##The Basics

/join #channel
- Joins the specified channel.
/part #channel
- Leaves the specified channel.

Client-side SSL

For excessively paranoid client authentication.

Using self-signed certificate.

Create a Certificate Authority root (which represents this server)

Organization & Common Name: Some human identifier for this server CA.

openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt

	# Thin serving Rails.
	upstream app_server {
	server 127.0.0.1:3050 fail_timeout=0;
	}

	# SSL/TLS certificates - the key should be 4096 bit generated with: 'openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 4096'
	ssl_certificate_key /var/app/deploy/www.thisisatest.com.key;
	ssl_certificate /var/app/deploy/www.thisisatest.com.chained.crt;

	# Ideally we'd have only TLSv1.2, but that compromises client support significantly
