goircd -- minimalistic simple Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server
|
||
|
|
==============================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
goircd is very simple IRC server, written on Go.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is heavily inspired by miniircd daemon written on Python.
|
||
|
|
It is not aimed to replace full featured mass scalable IRC networks:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* It can not connect to other servers. Just standalone installation
|
||
|
|
* It has few basic IRC commands
|
||
|
|
* There is not support for channel operators, modes, votes, invites
|
||
|
|
and so on
|
||
|
|
* No ident lookups, reverse DNS queries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But it has some convincing features:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Only standard Go libraries, no external requirements
|
||
|
|
* Single executable binary
|
||
|
|
* No configuration file, just few command line arguments
|
||
|
|
* IPv6 out-of-box support
|
||
|
|
* Optional channel logging to plain text files
|
||
|
|
* Optional permanent channel's state saving in plain text files
|
||
|
|
(so you can reload daemon and all channels topics and keys won't
|
||
|
|
disappear)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some remarks and recommendations related to it's simplicity:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Use either nohup or similar tools to daemonize it
|
||
|
|
* Use either crywrap or similar tools for TLS-capable connections
|
||
|
|
* Just plain logging on stderr, without syslog support
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
SUPPORTED IRC COMMANDS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* NICK/USER during registration workflow
|
||
|
|
* PING/PONGs
|
||
|
|
* NOTICE/PRIVMSG
|
||
|
|
* MOTD, LUSERS, WHO, WHOIS, QUIT
|
||
|
|
* LIST, JOIN, TOPIC, +k/-k channel MODE
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
