ZNC Modules

Suppose you want to install clientbuffer, a 3rd party module. Download the source code:

$ cd
$ ftp https://github.com/CyberShadow/znc-clientbuffer/archive/master.zip
$ unzip master.zip
$ mv znc-clientbuffer-master/{Makefile,clientbuffer.cpp} znc-1.8.2/modules/
$ cd znc-1.8.2/modules/
$ gmake
$ doas su mkdir /home/znc/home/znc/.znc/modules
$ doas cp clientbuffer.so /home/znc/home/znc/.znc/modules/
$ doas chown -R znc:daemon /home/znc/home/znc/.znc/modules/

Tips

Please don't use fail2ban for znc; one team tried to do it and immediately broke their web panel because fail2ban banned 127.0.0.1 (which relayd uses):

20:37 <*fail2ban> No bans

I had to unload the module to restore web panel access.
