Ok a new day, a new machine to configure for oftc certificate. Based on https://wiki.abuissa.net/wiki/Blog:_2024-01-08
Basing this on https://www.oftc.net/NickServ/CertFP/#weechat
$ mkdir-cd ~/.config/weechat/certs certs $ openssl req -batch -noenc -newkey ed25519 -keyout nick.key -x509 -days 3650 -out nick.cer ----- certs $ ls nick.cer nick.key certs $ chmod 400 nick.key certs $ cat nick.cer nick.key > nick.pem certs $ chmod 400 nick.pem
Back in weechat:
/server add oftc irc.oftc.net -tls -tls_verify -autoconnect
Weird, I'm getting an error with oftc
Option "irc.server.oftc.tls_cert" not found
but I see the same command in the weechat user guide: https://www.weechat.org/files/doc/stable/weechat_user.en.html#irc_connect_oftc_with_certfp
Ok looking in the weechat config I see
oftc.ssl_cert
and looking in the weechat git log I find the root cause:
git log -S ssl_cert
commit dec237b1048479b29e3386d5c8ce593803f2d81d Author: Sébastien Helleu <[email protected]> Date: 10 months ago irc: rename "ssl" options to "tls" (issue #1903)
Ok so my weechat version (3.8) is actually old so it is out of date with the docs on the website.
