Bitlbee on RedBrick

This is set up on Metharme.

bitlbee is run using the nixos bitlbee service, see here for config options.

We use the default bitlbee settings. Its settings can be found in nixos repo.

bitlbee.redbrick.dcu.ie is not exposed externally. It is available at bitlbee.internal. For legacy support bitlbee.redbrick.dcu.ie is added to the host files of all boxes to point to the internal address.

We add 2 plugins to bitlbee:
