irssi-notifier

Desktop notifications with irssi and fnotify, over unauthenticated HTTPS. Client in Python, server in Go

When to use it

If you run irssi in tmux/screen on some remote server, connect to it via ssh/mosh, and want to have client-side notifications. WARNING: there is no authentication. Anybody can connect to the server and see what fnotify says. If you want authentication please send a PR.

How to use it

• Install fnotify for irssi on the server (the machine running irssi)
• check out the server code on the server host, build it (go build) and run it (./server -h to see the available options)
• run the client code on the client (./irssi-notifier.py). It requires Python 3 and requests, and the server certificate.

By default the client uses notify-send. If you need another terminal notifier feel free to open an issue or send a PR.
