NAME
       public-inbox-nntpd - NNTP server for sharing public-inbox

SYNOPSIS
         public-inbox-nntpd [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
       public-inbox-nntpd provides a read-only NNTP daemon for public-inbox.
       It uses options and environment variables common to all
       public-inbox-daemon(8) implementations.

       The default configuration will never require write access to the
       directory where the public-inbox is stored, so it may be run as a
       different user than the user running public-inbox-watch(1),
       public-inbox-mda(1), or git-fetch(1).

OPTIONS
       See common options in "OPTIONS" in public-inbox-daemon(8).
       Additionally, NNTP-specific behavior for certain options are supported
       and documented below.

       -l PROTOCOL://ADDRESS/?cert=/path/to/cert,key=/path/to/key
       --listen PROTOCOL://ADDRESS/?cert=/path/to/cert,key=/path/to/key
           In addition to the normal "-l"/"--listen" switch described in
           public-inbox-daemon(8), the protocol prefix (e.g. "nntp://" or
           "nntps://") may be specified to force a given protocol.

           For STARTTLS and NNTPS support, the "cert" and "key" may be
           specified on a per-listener basis after a "?" character and
           separated by ",".  These directives are per-directive, and it's
           possible to use a different cert for every listener.

       --cert /path/to/cert
           The default TLS certificate for optional STARTTLS and NNTPS support
           if the "cert" option is not given with "--listen".

           If using systemd-compatible socket activation and a TCP listener on
           port 563 is inherited, it is automatically NNTPS when this option
           is given.  When a listener on port 119 is inherited and this option
           is given, it automatically gets STARTTLS support.

       --key /path/to/key
           The default private TLS certificate key for optional STARTTLS and
           NNTPS support if the "key" option is not given with "--listen".
           The private key may be concatenated into the path used by "--cert",
           in which case this option is not needed.

CONFIGURATION
       These configuration knobs should be used in the public-inbox-config(5)

       publicinbox.<name>.newsgroup
       publicinbox.nntpserver

       See public-inbox-config(5) for documentation on them.
