Oragono is an IRC daemon written in Go. It’s an early, experimental fork of the Ergonomadic IRC daemon.
Also see the mammon IRC daemon for a similar project written in Python instead.
This project adheres to Semantic Versioning. For the purposes of versioning, we consider the “public API” to refer to the configuration files, CLI interface and database format.
Features
- UTF-8 nick and channel names with rfc7700
- yaml configuration
- native TLS/SSL support
- server password (
PASS
command) - channels with most standard modes
- IRC operators
- ident lookups for usernames
- passwords stored in bcrypt format
- channels that persist between restarts (+P)
- client accounts and SASL
- IRCv3 support
What about TLS/SSL?
There is inbuilt TLS support using the Go TLS implementation. However, stunnel version 4.56 with haproxy’s PROXY protocol may also be used. This will allow the server to get the client’s original addresses for hostname lookups.
Installation
go get
go install
cp oragono.yaml ircd.yaml
vim ircd.yaml # modify the config file to your liking
oragono initdb
oragono mkcerts
Note: This installation will give you unsigned certificates only suitable for teting purposes. For real crets, look into Let’s Encrypt.
Configuration
See the example oragono.yaml
.
Passwords are stored using bcrypt. You can generate encrypted password
strings for use in the config with the genpasswd
subcommand.
oragono genpasswd
Running the server
oragono run
