<p>To start using Glowing Bear, follow the instructions below to set up an encrypted relay.

<p>When using encryption, all communication between <spanng-hide="utils.isCordova()">your browser</span><spanng-hide="!utils.isCordova()">the app</span> and WeeChat will be securely encrypted with TLS. This means that you have to set up a certificate. While it's possible to use a self-signed cert, we recommend against it, because it's handled poorly in browsers, and may not work at all on mobile devices. If you don't already have a certificate for your domain (or you don't have a domain), we strongly encourage you to get a certificate from <ahref="https://letsencrypt.org/">Let's Encrypt</a>—it's free and easy. We'll walk you through it.</p>
<p><strong>If you don't have a domain</strong> you can get a free subdomain from providers such as <ahref="https://freedns.afraid.org/">afraid</a>. You'll want to set up an 'A' record to your server's IP address, and quite possibly an AAAA record to its IPv6 address. These might take a few hours to propagate, if the steps below don't work right away, try again in a few hours.</p>
<p><strong>Getting a certificate</strong> is easy. You'll need certbot—just follow the encryptions at <ahref="https://certbot.eff.org/">https://certbot.eff.org</a>. If you're not serving webpages on the same server or are unsure, select "none of the above" (if you are, you can probably use that webserver to proxy your relay, and skip this—check out the <ahref="https://github.com/glowing-bear/glowing-bear/wiki/Proxying-WeeChat-relay-with-a-web-server">instructions in our Wiki</a>). Next, get the certificate with <code>certbot certonly --standalone -d {{ settings.host || your.domain.com }}</code> and follow the instructions.</p>
<p>Nearly done! Now you just need to copy the files into place. To do that, use the following commands, replacing the <strong>username</strong> placeholder with your actual username:</p>
<p>Once you've got the certificate and moved it in place, you can set up an encrypted relay on port {{ settings.port || 9001 }} with these WeeChat commands:</p>
<p>Your certificate needs to be renewed every couple of months. Either follow the instructions for automatic renewal at <ahref="https://certbot.eff.org/">https://certbot.eff.org</a>, or run <code>certbot renew</code> manually when renewal is due. <strong>Important:</strong> You'll need to follow the instructions for copying the certificate to the right place again, and re-run <code>/relay sslcertkey</code> in WeeChat.</p>

The option "Only show buffers with unread messages" is useful when you have a lot of buffers and can't meaningfully look at all of them at the same time. However, often you have a select few buffers that you use more frequently and would like to have displayed permanently.
To pin a buffer, type <code>/buffer set localvar_set_pinned true</code>. <strong>Note</strong>: Local variables on buffers are not persisted across WeeChat restarts, so either use script <code>buffer_autoset.py</code> to automatically apply that upon buffer creation or use a trigger if you want automatic repinning when buffers get recreated. To unpin, you can use the same command and set anything other than <code>true</code>.
Helpful trigger to automatically repin a buffer (in this instance, <var>irc.freenode.#weechat</var>): <pre><code>/trigger add autopin signal "buffer_opened" "${buffer[${tg_signal_data}].full_name} =~ <var>irc.freenode.#weechat</var>" "" "/command -buffer ${buffer[${tg_signal_data}].full_name} * /buffer set localvar_set_pinned true"</code></pre>
<p>You don't need to install anything to use Glowing Bear, it works with any modern browser. Start using it <adata-toggle="collapse"data-parent="#accordion"href="#collapseOne">right now</a> at the top of the page! However, there are a few ways to improve integration with your operating system.</p>
<p>If you're running Android 4.4 or later, you can install our app from the Google Play Store! We can't distribute on iOS unfortunately, but if you're a developer, you can <ahref="https://github.com/glowing-bear/glowing-bear-cordova">follow the sideloading instructions</a>.</p>
<p><ahref="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glowing_bear"><imgalt="Android app on Google Play"src="assets/img/badge_playstore.png"/></a></p>
<h3>Electron</h3>
<p>Glowing Bear supports the electron shell. You'll have to build it yourself, though. Run the following commands, choosing your platform from the list in the last command: <pre>git clone https://github.com/glowing-bear/glowing-bear
cd glowing-bear
npm install
npm install electron-packager
npm run build-electron-{windows, darwin, linux}</pre>
<p>To install Glowing Bear as an app in Chrome for Android, select <kbd>Menu - Add to home screen</kbd>. In the desktop version of Chrome, click <kbd>Menu - More tools - Create application shortcuts</kbd>.</p>
<p>Glowing bear is built by a small group of developers in their free time. As we're always trying to improve it, we would love getting your feedback and help. If that sounds like something you might enjoy, check out our <ahref="https://github.com/glowing-bear/glowing-bear">main project page</a><spanng-hide="!utils.isCordova()">and its <ahref="https://github.com/glowing-bear/glowing-bear-cordova">mobile app spin-off</a></span> on GitHub!</p>
<p>If you're interested in contributing or simply want to say hello, head over to <strong>#glowing-bear</strong> on <strong>freenode!</strong> We won't bite, promise :)</p>
