NOTE: Please practice first on coconut.ircnow.org before attempting any of these major changes on the stable server.
Tasks:
astroanax: eggdrop script
[NPS]: can setup https://wiki.ircnow.org/index.php?n=Openbsd.Bitlbee if that is not installed yet
Nav|C: can maybe try to do https://wiki.ircnow.org/index.php?n=Openbsd.Iked, but im not sure, lets discuss about this first
Thor_Of_Angels: can check https://wiki.ircnow.org/index.php?n=Third.Third
Cesur: can try the Marketing and get us listed at https://search.mibbit.com/ and https://netsplit.de/ and mIRC and androIRC
Todo:
- set up the bot ircforever on every network you want to provide bouncers for: rizon, oftc, efnet, freenode, liberachat, quake, undernet, dalnet, ircnet, ircnow
- Register #ircforever on each network
- Be personally present on #ircforever in each network to help with user support
- test the bot on a few networks to make sure it actually works
- check and answer support@ircforever.org emails
- update web page with terms of service and privacy policy
- make sure your http ssl cert works for bnc.ircforever.org, www.ircforever.org, ircforever.org, bnc.banana.ircnow.org, www.banana.ircnow.org, and banana.ircnow.org
Done:
- add a cronjob to hopm to make sure it's always running https://wiki.ircnow.org/index.php?n=Hopm.Install#toc-3 <-- see the section on cronjob
- change your hostname on the VPS: $ doas hostname ircforever.org
- update all rdns records to use username.ircforever.org at https://manage.buyvm.net -- there is a shortcut using the bot, message me on IRC to see how to automate this to avoid manual data entry. however, make 100% sure that you do *NOT* delete any records from banana.ircnow.org -- both ircforever.org and banana.ircnow.org must function simultaneously for users still using the old banana.ircnow.org subdomains
- make sure your ssl cert works for banana.ircnow.org, irc.banana.ircnow.org, irc6.banana.ircnow.org, ip6.banana.ircnow.org, ip6.banana.ircnow.org, irc.ircforever.org, ircforever.org, irc6.ircforever.org, ipv6.ircforever.org, ip6.ircforever.org -- please test!
- fix your mail server to get 10/10 on https://mail-tester.com and all green on http://multirbl.valli.org when you send a test email to both (don't do lookup, send a test email)
