# IRC Quickstart
|
||||
|
||||
The following instructions show you how to register with two web based IRC
|
||||
tools. Use one illustrated here or find another. While these instructions are
|
||||
only for two IRC web clients there are many IRC Clients available on most
|
||||
platforms.
|
||||
|
||||
## Webchat
|
||||
|
||||
Using Webchat from Freenode.net is a quick and easy way to get chatting. To
|
||||
register:
|
||||
|
||||
1. In your browser open
|
||||
[https://webchat.freenode.net](https://webchat.freenode.net){: target="_blank" class="_" }.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. Fill out the form.
|
||||
|
||||
| Field | Value |
|
||||
|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
|
||||
| Nickname | The short name you want to be known as on IRC chat channels. |
|
||||
| Channels | The list of channels to join. Start with `#docker`. |
|
||||
| reCAPTCHA | A field to protect against spammers. Enter the value shown. |
|
||||
|
||||
3. Click on the "Connect" button.
|
||||
|
||||
The browser connects you to Webchat. You'll see a lot of text. At the bottom of
|
||||
the Webchat web page is a command line bar. Just above the command line bar
|
||||
a message is shown asking you to register.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
4. Register your nickname by entering the following command in the
|
||||
command line bar:
|
||||
|
||||
```none
|
||||
/msg NickServ REGISTER yourpassword youremail@example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
This command line bar is also the entry field that you will use for entering
|
||||
chat messages into IRC chat channels after you have registered and joined a
|
||||
chat channel.
|
||||
|
||||
After entering the `REGISTER` command, an email is sent to the email address
|
||||
that you provided. This email will contain instructions for completing
|
||||
your registration.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Open your email client and look for the email.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
6. Back in the browser, complete the registration according to the email by entering
|
||||
the following command into the webchat command line bar:
|
||||
|
||||
```none
|
||||
/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER yournickname somecode
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Your nickname is now registered to chat on freenode.net.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## IRCCloud
|
||||
|
||||
IRCCloud is a web-based IRC client service that is hosted in the cloud. This is
|
||||
a Freemium product, meaning the free version is limited and you can pay for more
|
||||
features. To use IRCCloud:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Click
|
||||
[here](https://www.irccloud.com/invite?channel=%23docker&hostname=chat.freenode.net&port=6697){: target="_blank" class="_" }
|
||||
to join the `#docker` channel on chat.freenode.net.
|
||||
|
||||
The following web page is displayed in your browser:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
2. If this is your first time using IRCCloud, enter a valid email address in the
|
||||
form.
|
||||
|
||||
If you already registered with IRCCloud, select the **sign in here** link.
|
||||
|
||||
You may have a cookie stored on your web browser that enables a quick
|
||||
start **let's go** link instead of the above form. In this case, select the
|
||||
**let's go** link and [jump ahead to start chatting](get-help.md#start-chatting).
|
||||
|
||||
3. After entering your email address in the form, check your email for an invite
|
||||
from IRCCloud and follow the instructions provided in the email.
|
||||
|
||||
4. The instructions in the invite email take you to an IRCCloud Client web page in
|
||||
your browser:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The message shown above indicates that you need to register your
|
||||
nickname.
|
||||
|
||||
5. To register your nickname, enter the following command into the command line bar
|
||||
at the bottom of the IRCCloud client:
|
||||
|
||||
```none
|
||||
/msg NickServ REGISTER yourpassword youremail@example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This command line bar is for chatting and entering in IRC commands.
|
||||
|
||||
6. Check your email for an invite to `freenode.net`:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
7. Complete the registration according to the email.
|
||||
|
||||
```none
|
||||
/msg NickServ VERIFY REGISTER yournickname somecode
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips
|
||||
|
||||
The procedures in this section apply to both IRC clients.
|
||||
|
||||
### Set a nickname
|
||||
|
||||
Next time you return to log into chat, you may need to re-enter your password
|
||||
on the command line using this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```none
|
||||
/msg NickServ identify <password>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With Webchat if you forget or lose your password you'll need to join the
|
||||
`#freenode` channel and request them to reset it for you.
|
||||
|
||||
### Join a Docker Channel
|
||||
|
||||
Join the `#docker` group using the following command in the command line bar of
|
||||
your IRC Client:
|
||||
|
||||
```none
|
||||
/j #docker
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can also join the `#docker-dev` group.
|
||||
|
||||
### Start chatting
|
||||
|
||||
To ask questions to the group, type messages in the command line bar:
|
||||
|
||||

||||

## Learn more about IRC
|
||||
|
||||
This quickstart gets started with IRC. If you find
|
||||
IRC useful, there is more to learn. Drupal, another open source project,
|
||||
has
|
||||
[a great IRC guide](https://www.drupal.org/irc/setting-up){: target="_blank" class="_" }.
|
||||
(thanks Drupal!).
