Connecting to IRCNow XMPP via Profanity

Profanity is CLI XMPP client written in C with user interface alike weechat and irssi. it's a decent client, supporting variety of modern XEPs and features, such as MAM, OMEMO, HTTP file upload, message correction and etc.

To connect to IRCNow XMPP network, first add an account. Replace username@ircnow.org with your own username:

/account add username@ircnow.org

afterwards you may connect with the following command, it will ask for you password upon connection:

/connect username@ircnow.org

You may save your password now, but it's optional. Replace <yourpasswordhere> with your password:

/account set username@ircnow.org password <yourpasswordhere>

While profanity does not connect once you have started the program (because it can only connect to one account at the time), you can define a default account to connect to once /connect is called.

/autoconnect set username@ircnow.org
