# 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:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
