Quick Start

First Launch

flume

You’ll see Flume’s interface with a message suggesting you add a network.

Add a Network

The simplest way — everything in one command:

/server add libera irc.libera.chat 6697 -tls -autoconnect

With Credentials

Store your password in the encrypted vault, then reference it with ${name}:

/secure init
/secure set libera_pass your-password
/server add libera irc.libera.chat 6697 -tls -autoconnect -username mynick -password ${libera_pass}

SASL Authentication

For networks that require SASL (like Libera Chat):

/server set libera auth_method sasl
/server set libera sasl_username mynick
/server set libera sasl_password ${libera_pass}

NickServ Authentication

/server set libera auth_method nickserv
/server set libera nickserv_password ${libera_pass}

The ${libera_pass} syntax references the vault secret — your password is never stored in plain text.
