ZNC is a an advanced IRC bouncer that is designed to run in a shell box and keep you online 24/7.
This page summarizes the Communi way of configuring ZNC for ultimate IRC experience:
- no repetitive buffer playback
- persistent queries
For the time being, the latest development version of ZNC is needed. Clone the repository on GitHub:
git clone git://github.com/znc/znc.git
In a nutshell:
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix $HOME/znc
make
make install
See also wiki.znc.in/Installation.
Create a configuration file:
$ ~/znc/bin/znc --makeconf

ZNC automatically clears playback buffers by default. Disable that for channels and queries:
/msg *controlpanel set AutoClearChanBuffer $me false
/msg *controlpanel set AutoClearQueryBuffer $me false
See also wiki.znc.in/Query_buffers.
An external playback module provides non-repetitive playback buffer and lets Communi clear appropriate buffers when queries are closed:
git clone git://github.com/jpnurmi/znc-playback.git
~/znc/bin/znc-buildmod playback.cpp
mv playback.so ~/.znc/modules/
/msg *status loadmod playback
The built-in buffextras module stores channel events such as joins and parts to the playback buffer so that you can see full channel history. The buffextras module stores these messages as PRIVMSGs, but Communi parses and visualizes them as appropriate:
/msg *status loadmod buffextras
