3 public-inbox-nntpd - NNTP server for sharing public-inbox
7 public-inbox-nntpd [OPTIONS]
11 public-inbox-nntpd provides a read-only NNTP daemon for
12 public-inbox. It uses options and environment variables common
13 to all L<public-inbox-daemon(8)> implementations.
15 The default configuration will never require write access
16 to the directory where the public-inbox is stored, so it
17 may be run as a different user than the user running
18 L<public-inbox-watch(1)>, L<public-inbox-mda(1)>, or
23 See common options in L<public-inbox-daemon(8)/OPTIONS>.
24 Additionally, NNTP-specific behavior for certain options
25 are supported and documented below.
29 =item -l PROTO://ADDRESS/?cert=/path/to/cert,key=/path/to/key
31 =item --listen PROTO://ADDRESS/?cert=/path/to/cert,key=/path/to/key
33 In addition to the normal C<-l>/C<--listen> switch described in
34 L<public-inbox-daemon(8)>, the protocol prefix (e.g. C<nntp://> or
35 C<nntps://>) may be specified to force a given protocol.
37 For STARTTLS and NNTPS support, the C<cert> and C<key> may be specified
38 on a per-listener basis after a C<?> character and separated by C<,>.
39 These directives are per-directive, and it's possible to use a different
40 cert for every listener.
42 =item --cert /path/to/cert
44 The default TLS certificate for optional STARTTLS and NNTPS support
45 if the C<cert> option is not given with C<--listen>.
47 If using systemd-compatible socket activation and a TCP listener on port
48 563 is inherited, it is automatically NNTPS when this option is given.
49 When a listener on port 119 is inherited and this option is given, it
50 automatically gets STARTTLS support.
52 =item --key /path/to/key
54 The default private TLS certificate key for optional STARTTLS and NNTPS
55 support if the C<key> option is not given with C<--listen>. The private
56 key may concatenated into the path used by C<--cert>, in which case this
