Shout

What is it?
Shout is a web IRC client that you host on your own server.

What features does it have?

Multiple user support
Stays connected even when you close the browser
Connect from multiple devices at once
Responsive layout — works well on your smartphone
.. and more!

Ok, you caught my attention. I want to try it!
Here's a Shout server running in public mode, which allows for anonymous connections:

Try the Demo

Install

sudo npm install -g shout

Or you could try: (experimental)

Usage

When the install is complete, go ahead and start the server:

shout

For more information:

shout --help

Screenshot

Configuration

Open the config.json file by running:

shout config

The settings:

port
The default port to be used.
You can override this by running shout --port 80

public
Set to either true|false.
When set to false, a login will be required for connecting users.

User Management

Go ahead and run shout --help:

$ shout --help

  Usage: shout [options] [command]

  Commands:

    start
       Start the server

    config
       Edit config: '/usr/lib/node_modules/shout/config.json'

    list
       List all existing users

    add <name>
       Add a new user

    remove <name>
       Remove an existing user

    reset <name>
       Reset user password

    edit <name>
       Edit user: '/home/erming/.shout/users/<name>/user.json'


  Options:

    -h, --help         output usage information
    -h, --host <ip>    host
    -p, --port <port>  port

Pretty simple, huh?

If you want to edit users manually, see users/example/user.json.

Custom paths

You can define Shout's file storage path via the following options:

Add an entry called home to the config.json file.
Set the environment variable SHOUT_HOME before calling the shout executable.
Use the default of $HOME/.shout.
