title: NNTP Server
|
||||
---
|
||||
## The NNTP Content Server
|
||||
The NNTP *content server* provides access to publicly exposed message conferences and areas over either **secure** NNTPS (NNTP over TLS or nttps://) and/or non-secure NNTP (nntp://).
|
||||
|
||||
## Configuration
|
||||
| Item | Required | Description |
|
||||
|------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `nntp` | :-1: | Configuration block for non-secure NNTP. See Non-Secure NNTP Configuration below. |
|
||||
| `nntps` | :-1: | Configuration block for secure NNTP. See Secure NNTPS Configuration below. |
|
||||
| `publicMessageConferences` | :+1: | A map of *conference tags* to *area tags* that are publicly exposed over NNTP. Anonymous users will get read-only access to these areas. |
|
||||
|
||||
### See Non-Secure NNTP Configuration
|
||||
Under `contentServers.nntp.nntp` the following configuration is allowed:
|
||||
|
||||
| Item | Required | Description |
|
||||
|------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `enabled` | :+1: | Set to `true` to enable non-secure NNTP access. |
|
||||
| `port` | :-1: | Override the default port of `8119`. |
|
||||
|
||||
### Secure NNTPS Configuration
|
||||
Under `contentServers.nntp.nntps` the following configuration is allowed:
|
||||
|
||||
| Item | Required | Description |
|
||||
|------|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| `enabled` | :+1: | Set to `true` to enable secure NNTPS access. |
|
||||
| `port` | :-1: | Override the default port of `8565`. |
|
||||
| `certPem` | :-1: | Override the default certificate file path of `./config/nntps_cert.pem` |
|
||||
| `keyPem` | :-1: | Override the default certificate key file path of `./config/nntps_key.pem` |
|
||||
|
||||
#### Certificates and Keys
|
||||
In order to use secure NNTPS, a TLS certificate and key pair must be provided. You may generate your own but most clients **will not trust** them. A certificate and key from a trusted Certificate Authority is recommended. [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) provides free TLS certificates. Certificates and private keys must be in [PEM format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy-Enhanced_Mail).
|
||||
|
||||
##### Generating Your Own
|
||||
An example of generating your own cert/key pair:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout ./config/nntps_key.pem -x509 -days 3050 -out ./config/nntps_cert.pem
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Example Configuration
|
||||
```hjson
|
||||
contentServers: {
|
||||
nntp: {
|
||||
publicMessageConferences: {
|
||||
fsxnet: [
|
||||
// Expose these areas of fsxNet
|
||||
"fsx_gen", "fsx_bbs"
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
nntp: {
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
nntps: {
|
||||
enabled: true
|
||||
|
||||
// These could point to Let's Encrypt provided pairs for example:
|
||||
certPem: /path/to/some/tls_cert.pem
|
||||
keyPem: /path/to/some/tls_private_key.pem
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
