10:10:44 <Steven_M> Hi All, I'm setting up a node on a VPS. I've got it working with a plain connection, but I want the connection between my wallet and my node to be over SSL. How do I set that up?
10:12:07 <moneromooo> Add --daemon-ssl enabled to the wallet command line.
10:12:46 <moneromooo> You'll then want to make a cert (IIRC there's a moenro program for that), take its fingerprint (which it should print), and then use:
10:13:38 <moneromooo> - for the wallet: --daemon-ssl-certificate /path/to/the/cert
10:13:47 <moneromooo> er, sorry, the other way around
10:14:26 <moneromooo> - for the daemon: --rpc-ssl-certificate /path/to/cert
10:14:57 <moneromooo> - for the wallet: --daemon-ssl-allowed-fingerprints FP  (and replace FP with the cert's fingerprint)
10:15:21 <moneromooo> If that's not enough, see --help for both, might need another arg somewhere.
10:16:21 <moneromooo> Ah, probably --daemon-ssl-private-key /path/to/pricate/key for the daemon as well. That shoild also genrated by the tool.
10:19:22 <moneromooo> And once it's working, you could write up the steps in a new docs/SSL.md file if you don't mind ^_^
10:20:02 <Steven_M> moneromooo: "(IIRC there's a moenro program for that)" Did you mean Monero?
10:20:14 <moneromooo> Indeed I did.
10:21:16 <moneromooo> The above forces SSL, and ensures the wallet connects to the right daemon. You can also add the mirrored options to ensure the daemon only accepts your wallet, if you wish to.
10:21:39 <moneromooo> I think both having the same cert should be no problem.
10:21:46 <moneromooo> (easier)
10:22:19 <moneromooo> But if the daemon is considered at greater privacy risk (on a VPS), you may want to have two separate key/cert pairs.
10:22:43 <Steven_M> Thought so, thanks :)
10:22:45 <moneromooo> Though if the pairs are used just for that, it's not a huge diffrence really.
10:26:22 <Steven_M> moneromooo: okay, hopefully I'll manage all this. I'm a server newbie ;)
10:27:20 <moneromooo> Maybe also check monero.stackexchange.com, maybe the detailed steps are already there.
10:30:49 <Steven_M> Good point, if not, I'll try your instructions :-)
14:22:49 <ag4536> Hello, all!
14:23:38 <moneromooo> Hello.
14:26:39 <ag4536> My first time on IRC in a long time, so figured I'd stop by.
14:28:55 <moneromooo> wb then :)
14:29:16 <ag4536> Thanks!
14:29:40 <ag4536> I'd been hanging around on Telegram and discord and whatnot, but rn I'm on a Pentium with 1 gig of ram
14:29:57 <moneromooo> Yes, that's been a loooong time I see...
14:30:15 <ag4536> rediscovering the joys of waiting for your machine to draw anything that requires a GUI
14:30:30 <moneromooo> I didn't even think Pentiums hould even have 1 GB RAM.
14:30:47 <ag4536> yeah, this is some later clone they used to put in netbooks
14:30:52 <ag4536> "Intel Atom"
14:31:21 <moneromooo> Oh, so not actual pentium, like the gen after 80486 ?
14:31:43 <ag4536> Yeah, they came out around the same time as Win7
14:31:48 <ag4536> But were pitifully underpowered for it
14:32:02 <ag4536> so they ended up in a bunch of really crappy Japanese netbooks, like the one I'm rehabbing now
14:32:40 <ag4536> This one runs Debian 11 fine enough, as long as you only run one program at a time
14:33:07 * moneromooo pass ag4536 the MSDOS floppy
14:33:42 * ag4536 tries to open firefox
14:33:50 * ag4536 is hit by a blast of fan air
14:35:23 <moneromooo> Wait till you run monerod, you'll have to hang on to the desk to avoid being pushed away.
14:36:00 <ag4536> Yeah, I was considering librebooting and using this thing as a paranoid activities computer
14:36:17 <ag4536> but sort of hard to do when the most intensive thing you can do with it is generate an SSH key and send an email
14:36:37 <moneromooo> lynx ?
14:36:58 <moneromooo> Alright, what happens when you change a core header file happened, so I'm out for a bit while it builds.
14:40:20 <ag4536> all right good luck!
14:40:39 <ag4536> as for lynx, so much of the modern web requires JS that I want to scream
14:45:44 <ag4536> all right, gotta run! bye!
14:45:48 <ag4536> see you soon!
15:33:21 <zoom0ut> The current block height is 2,683,787. Fork height is 2,688,888. 5,101 blocks to go, happening in approximately 170.03 hours
15:34:28 <selsta> ok, we really have to put out v0.18.1.0 soon lol
15:37:47 <hyc> I seem to recall there was a fork of either lynx or w3m with JS support. still didn't work all that well because so much of the graphical DOM was missing
15:39:50 <hyc> One of my would-love-to-do items is write a web browser for MGR
