# PyLink
|
|
|
|
PyLink is an extensible, plugin-based IRC services framework written in Python. It aims to be:
|
|
|
|
1) a replacement for the now-defunct Janus.
|
|
|
|
2) a versatile framework and gateway to IRC.
|
|
|
|
## Support
|
|
|
|
**First, MAKE SURE you've read the [FAQ](docs/faq.md)!**
|
|
|
|
Please report any bugs you find to the [issue tracker](https://github.com/GLolol/PyLink/issues). Pull requests are open if you'd like to contribute, though new stuff generally goes to the **devel** branch.
|
|
|
|
You can also find support via our IRC channels: `#PyLink @ irc.overdrivenetworks.com `([webchat](https://webchat.overdrivenetworks.com/?channels=PyLink,dev)) or `#PyLink @ chat.freenode.net`. Ask your questions and be patient for a response.
|

* Python 3.4+
|
|
* PyYAML (`pip install pyyaml`)
|
|
* *For the servprotect plugin*: [expiringdict](https://github.com/mailgun/expiringdict) (note: unfortunately, installation is broken in pip due to [mailgun/expiringdict#13](https://github.com/mailgun/expiringdict/issues/13))

## Supported IRCds
|
|
|
|
### Primary support
|
|
|
|
These IRCds are frequently tested and well supported. If any issues occur, please file a bug on the issue tracker.
|
|
|
|
* charybdis (3.5.x / git master) - module `ts6`
|
|
* InspIRCd 2.0.x - module `inspircd`
|
|
* UnrealIRCd 4.x - module `unreal`
|
|
- Note: Support for mixed UnrealIRCd 3.2/4.0 networks is experimental, and requires you to enable a `mixed_link` option in the configuration. This may in turn void your support.
|
|
|
|
### Extended support
|
|
|
|
Support for these IRCds exist, but are not tested as frequently and thoroughly. Bugs should be filed if there are any issues, though they may not always be fixed in a timely fashion.
|
|
|
|
* Elemental-IRCd (6.6.x / git master) - module `ts6`
|
|
* InspIRCd 2.2 (git master) - module `inspircd`
|
|
* IRCd-Hybrid (8.2.x / svn trunk) - module `hybrid`
|
|
- Note: for host changing support and optimal functionality, a `service{}` block / U-line should be added for PyLink on every IRCd across your network.
|
|
* Nefarious IRCu (2.0.0+) - module `nefarious`
|
|
- Note: Both account cloaks (user and oper) and hashed IP cloaks are optionally supported (HOST_HIDING_STYLE settings 0 to 3). Make sure you configure PyLink to match your IRCd settings.
|
|
- For optimal functionality (mode overrides in relay, etc.), a `UWorld{}` block / U-line should be added for every server that PyLink spawns.
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1) Install PyLink by using `python3 setup.py install` (global install) or `python3 setup.py install --user` (local install)
|
|
|
|
2) Rename `example-conf.yml` to `pylink.yml` and configure your instance there. Note that the configuration format isn't finalized yet - this means that your configuration may break in an update!
|
|
|
|
3) Run `pylink` from the command line.
|
|
|
|
4) Profit???
