Ergo is a modern IRC server written in Go. Its core design principles are:
* Being simple to set up and use
* Combining the features of an ircd, a services framework, and a bouncer:
* Integrated account management
* History storage
* Bouncer functionality
* Bleeding-edge IRCv3 support
* Highly customizable via a rehashable (runtime-reloadable) YAML config

=== Installing ===
Copy the example config file to ircd.yaml with a command like:
$ cp default.yaml ircd.yaml
Modify the config file as needed (the recommendations at the top may be helpful).
To generate passwords for opers and connect passwords, you can use this command:
$ ergo genpasswd
If you need to generate self-signed TLS certificates, use this command:
$ ergo mkcerts
You are now ready to start Ergo!
$ ergo run
For further instructions, consult the manual. A copy of the manual should be
included in your release under `docs/MANUAL.md`. Or you can view it on the
Web: https://ergo.chat/manual.html
