Hang out in #meta the tilde general channel. =)

note you must register with nickserv to talk in #meta:

weechat relays

weechat introduced unix socket relays in version 2.5 which is a much easier way to offer per-user relay access.

username.envs.net/weechat is configured to proxy to the default unix relay socket location (~/.weechat/relay_socket). to get started using it, follow these steps:

in weechat:
- /relay add unix.weechat %h/relay_socket
- /set relay.network.password mysupersecretpassword
at your shell:
- chmod o+rw ~/.weechat/relay_socket - this allows nginx to connect to your socket on your behalf
in your relay client:
- weechat-android:
  - connection type: websocket (ssl)
  - websocket path: weechat
  - relay host: username.envs.net
  - relay port: 443
  - your relay supersecretpassword
