To run znc as a user, run 'znc --makeconf' to create a configuration file.



If znc was compiled with the 'daemon' use flag, you may run

    emerge --config znc

to configure it.



To generate a new SSL certificate, run:

    znc --system-wide-config-as znc --makepem -d /var/lib/znc

as root.



If migrating from a user-based install, you can copy the existing

configuration files:

     mkdir /var/lib/znc

     mv /home/$USER/.znc/* /var/lib/znc

     rm -rf /home/$USER/.znc

     chown -R znc:znc /var/lib/znc

You may also adjust the location of the files and the user running znc

in /etc/conf.d/znc instead.



To run as a daemon, please make sure that your configuration contains

    PidFile = /run/znc/znc.pid

or that the PidFile value matches the one in /etc/conf.d/znc.
