![Oragono logo](docs/logo.png)
Oragono is a modern, experimental IRC server written in Go. It's designed to be simple to setup and use, and to provide the majority of features that IRC users expect today.
It includes features such as UTF-8 nicks and channel names, client accounts and SASL, and other assorted IRCv3 support.
Oragono is a fork of the [Ergonomadic](https://github.com/edmund-huber/ergonomadic) IRC daemon <3
Also see the [mammon](https://github.com/mammon-ircd/mammon) IRC daemon for a similar project written in Python instead.

# Oragono
## Features
* UTF-8 nick and channel names with rfc7613
* [yaml](http://yaml.org/) configuration
* native TLS/SSL support
* server password (`PASS` command)
* an extensible privilege system for IRC operators
* ident lookups for usernames
* automated client connection limits
* on-the-fly updating server config and TLS certificates (rehashing)
* client accounts and SASL
* passwords stored with [bcrypt](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/crypto) (client account passwords also salted)
* banning ips/nets and masks with `KLINE` and `DLINE`
* [IRCv3 support](http://ircv3.net/software/servers.html)
* a heavy focus on developing with [specifications](http://oragono.io/specs.html)
* integrated (alpha) REST API and web interface
## Installation
```sh
go build oragono.go
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 testing purposes.
For real crets, look into [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/).
## Configuration
See the example [`oragono.yaml`](oragono.yaml). Passwords are stored using bcrypt. You can generate encrypted password strings for use in the config with the `genpasswd` subcommand.
```sh
oragono genpasswd
```
## Running
```sh
oragono run
```
# Web interface
Oragono also includes a web interface, which works with the REST API to provide a way to manage user accounts and bans.
This interface is an early alpha, is in no way secure and will not be in a final release for a while. Requires the alpha REST API to be enabled (check your server config to enable that if you really want to).
## Installation
```sh
go build oragono-web.go
cp oragono-web.yaml web.yaml
vim web.yaml # modify the config file to your liking
oragono-web mkcerts
```
## Running
```sh
oragono-web run
```
