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)

Deploy

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.
