Lets say you have an IRC channel for your band, group, club & etc. The problem is you are going for a summer break at a near island and you are not sure if the local internet cafe has an mirc client installed on their computers and you are in dire need to monitor the latest conversations going on.
Your solution is to create web-based logs of IRC chat using a Log Bot. For this guide we are going to use jibble.org’s Logbot.
text from publisher’s site:
LogBot is an IRC bot that creates web-based logs in XHTML format. It uses the PircBot API to connect to an IRC server and create public logs for a channel. This is useful for disseminating online conferences and discussions of interest groups to those who do not use IRC.
You need these requirements to start logging:
1. Always online computer at home with a broadband connection
2. Personal web server (How-to make one)
3. download LogBot-0.1.0.zip
PART 1: Assuming you’re finish setting up your home server.
1. create a folder on your desktop
2. extact the LogBot-0.1.0.zip file to that folder
3. open the config file inside the folder then edit the following settings according to your liking.
Your bots nickname
Nick = LogBot
The server wherein your channel is created
Server = irc.freenode.net
Your channel name
Channel = #channel
Optional
JoinMessage = This channel is logged - http://www.somewhere...
This should be your web servers root directory
OutputDir = c:/temp/logbot/
4. save the config file
PART 2: Start your web server
PART 3: Start your LogBot
1. open the folder you created in part 1
2. double-click the MS-DOS file named run
3. wait until the bot joins your channel
PART5: Open your browser and visit your web server using your dynamic ip
e.g. http://121.12.12.12
and your DONE!
You can now monitor your irc channel even you’re away from home.
