== So... WTF is all this shit doing???? == | |||
BASICALLY. | |||
- Mumble waits for notifications from localhost... The problem is that weechat is running remotely on a redbrick server in DCU. | |||
- SSH -R is sending messages from the redbrick server back to our localhost. | |||
- Socat listens for message from redbrick (the SSH -R bit in step 2 there) to the port that Mumble is listening to on localhost. | |||
- On redbrick the weechat script is sending it's growl notifications to localhost | |||
- The socat instance on redbrick is listening for shit (growl notifications) on localhost and sending it to the port that SSH -R above is looking | |||
for.. Thus actually sending it backwards through our SSH connection to our localhost where mumble gets it and pops up a nice little notification box. | |||
This is what it looks like | |||
weechat ---> socat on redbrick ---> SSH -R ---> socat on localhost ---> mumble | |||
