I would like to make it easier for those considering news.nk.ca
just to look at our website instead.

How can I do that using INN?

That's laudable.

I don't know what changes you can make to INN. Maybe support additional protocols (TLS / UUCP / Tor / Yggdrasil / I2P) / ports.

I've been considering writing a web form that I can point perspective
peers at that will hopefully streamline some of the process. The form
would allow them to fill things in, which could then re-format things
the way that I want them to be sent to me as well as dynamically
creating the per-peer information that I send to peers.

My main hold up has been wanting something like an email confirmation
loop to avoid spam. E.g. you enter your email address and click "Send
me the code / link" then you use the code / link to continue filling out
the form and it gets sent to me.

Hi The Doctor,

I would like to make it easier for those considering news.nk.ca
just to look at our website instead.

How can I do that using INN?

I do not understand well what you have in mind.
Is it a message you would like to pop up to your news readers or make
available to peers already connected, to say to look at your website?
Then it would mean the news reader (or the news admin for a remote peer)
knows how to deal with the "LIST MOTD" command; you could put a "message
of the day" in <pathetc>/motd.nnrpd or motd.innd that would just say to
look at a URL.

Or is it a message for people not already using or peering with your
news server ("considering news.nk.ca"), and then I do not really have
any suggestion with INN directly...

I have tried generating a stats report in the past,
but it hung. No reason given.

How are you attempting to generate the report? If "htmlstatus" is set to true in <pathetc>/inn.conf, the status will be written to
<pathhttp>/inn_status.html at the interval defined by the "status" value in <pathetc>/inn.conf.

If you wish to generate daily statistics in HTML on incoming/outgoing feeds, article rates, etc. you should set "html" to true in <pathetc>/innreport.conf.
This will generate HTML reports when news.daily runs and place them in <pathhttp>. It will generate or update the index.html page within <pathhttp>, as seen here:
http://usenet.blueworldhosting.com/feedstats.

To accomplish this on FreeBSD (I believe you're a fellow FreeBSD user):

- Set "htmlstatus" to true in <pathetc>/inn.conf.
- Set <pathhttp> to /usr/local/www/apache24/data/feedstats.
- Set "html" to true in <pathetc>/innreport.conf.
- pkg install apache24
- Add apache24_enable="yes" to /etc/rc.conf to set Apache to start at boot.
- "service apache24 start" to start Apache.
- Create /usr/local/www/apache24/data/feedstats and make sure the "news" user can write to the directory.
- Create /usr/local/www/apache24/data/index.html with the content you wish to display.
- Run "<pathbin>/scanlogs norotate" to scan logs and generate a report, or
wait for the next news.daily cron job to execute.
- Success.

What you see when you visit http://usenet.blueworldhostig.com is /usr/local/www/apache24/data/index.html. On that page I have a link to the /feedstats URI, which maps back to /usr/local/www/apache24/data/feedstats on the filesystem (which is my <pathhttp> value from <pathetc>/inn.conf). Hopefully that helps, unless I misunderstood what you are trying too generate.

Cheers,
Jesse

What needs to be fixed in the configuration files?

And https://www.nk.ca/ is working

The "news" user probably doesn't have write access to /usr/local/www/nginx-dist. Check the permissions/ownership and adjust as nececssary.

Hi The Doctor,

Parameters c 731

Do you also have 2 years of article retention in your expire.ctl file?

Usually, this "c" param is set to 10 and should not match article
retention (setting it to 731 means that if you receive an article posted
in 2021, last year, you'll accept it and propagate it instead of
rejecting it because it is older than 10 days).

No nnrpd, innd, innfeed, etc. Only "inn" log entries? It seems that
all of your programs write logs as "inn".

What needs to be fixed in the configuration files?

And https://www.nk.ca/ is working

The "news" user probably doesn't have write access to >/usr/local/www/nginx-dist. Check the permissions/ownership and adjust as >nececssary.

I am using https://ns2.nk.ca for news.

Will check for those anomolies.

Hi The Doctor,

Parameters c 731

Do you also have 2 years of article retention in your expire.ctl file?

Usually, this "c" param is set to 10 and should not match article
retention (setting it to 731 means that if you receive an article posted
in 2021, last year, you'll accept it and propagate it instead of
rejecting it because it is older than 10 days).

Yes, that is the setup up, and I adjuested expire accordingly.
