This commit configures Hard Lounge as a dedicated webchat client for
SuperNETs IRC, requiring only a nickname to connect.
- Set `public: true` to enable public mode (no user accounts required)
- Set `lockNetwork: true` to lock connections to irc.supernets.org only
Users will automatically connect to irc.supernets.org:6697 (TLS) and
join #superbowl upon entering a nickname.
- Added simplified connect form for public + lockNetwork mode
- Form now shows only the nickname field when both settings are enabled
- Hidden fields: server, port, TLS, username, realname, channels,
leave message, authentication options
- Added CSS styling for proper spacing on simplified form
- Pinned to Node 20 Alpine (from lts-alpine) for compatibility
- Added py3-setuptools to fix distutils module error with Python 3.12
- Fixed file ownership with --chown=node:node on COPY commands
- Moved USER node directive after COPY to fix permission issues
- Pre-create /var/opt/hardlounge directory with correct ownership
Currently the realname is set to an advertisement if it isn't explicitly
set by the user.
Some clients started to show the realname as a display name in their
UI, which makes this tedious as you'll end up with gazillion "The Lounge
User" entries.
To avoid this, set the realname to the nick on first connect, so that
it is useful.
Note that this isn't done on nick changes, but only on the initial
connect step.
Fixes: https://github.com/thelounge/thelounge/issues/4527
This change adds a `prefetchTimeout` setting to the default configuration and sets it to 5000 milliseconds. Its description indicates the advantages and disadvantages of changing its default value.
This is a comments only change that fixes two problems:
1. The previous comment described it as limiting request size, but it
instead limits the response size.
2. Previously it was unclear _why_ this size was significant. It wasn't
obvious to me that the entire response would be stored in memory.
YouTube puts the opengraph tags needed for the preview after ~300KB in the body
instead of the beginning of the <head> tag.
Instead of hardcoding the value, allow the server admin to set the policy as
they prefer.
Also draft some kind of plugin system for auth, although it essentially consists in writing a function
and there is no mechanism to automatically fallback from one auth to another
- Mark the option as deprecated (cannot be removed from the help, unfortunately)
- Add details to `lounge config` regarding `LOUNGE_HOME`
- Remove mention of `--home` in default config file
