# WeeChat {#module-services-weechat}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[WeeChat](https://weechat.org/) is a fast and
|
||
|
|
extensible IRC client.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Basic Usage {#module-services-weechat-basic-usage}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, the module creates a
|
||
|
|
[`systemd`](https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/)
|
||
|
|
unit which runs the chat client in a detached
|
||
|
|
[`screen`](https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/)
|
||
|
|
session.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This can be done by enabling the `weechat` service:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
{ ... }:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
services.weechat.enable = true;
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The service is managed by a dedicated user named `weechat`
|
||
|
|
in the state directory `/var/lib/weechat`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Re-attaching to WeeChat {#module-services-weechat-reattach}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
WeeChat runs in a screen session owned by a dedicated user. To explicitly
|
||
|
|
allow your another user to attach to this session, the
|
||
|
|
`screenrc` needs to be tweaked by adding
|
||
|
|
[multiuser](https://www.gnu.org/software/screen/manual/html_node/Multiuser.html#Multiuser)
|
||
|
|
support:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
programs.screen.screenrc = ''
|
||
|
|
multiuser on
|
||
|
|
acladd normal_user
|
||
|
|
'';
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
Now, the session can be re-attached like this:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
screen -x weechat/weechat-screen
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*The session name can be changed using [services.weechat.sessionName.](options.html#opt-services.weechat.sessionName)*
