How to run a ZNC server + NGINX using a reverse proxy pointing to subdomain
Run only this command as root. It will install ZNC, the NGINX web server and the Certbot for web SSL encryption:
apk add znc nginx certbot-nginx
Add a user called 'irc' to the system:
adduser -D irc
Now log in as the new user "irc":
su irc
Create a ZNC configuration with this command:
znc --makeconf
You'll enter the following info:
Listen on port: 5000 Listen using SSL: yes Listen using both IPv4 and IPv6: yes Username: username Enter password: password Confirm password: password Nick: nick Alternate nick: alternate_nick Real name: optional Bind host: localhost Set up a network?: no Launch ZNC now? no
You're still logged into the user 'irc'. Now run ZNC:
znc
Now change to root:
su root
go to Template:Vim /home/irc/.znc/configs/znc.conf
.... work in progress!!! come back tomorrow
