- channels with most standard modes
- IRC operators (OPER command)
- haproxy PROXY protocol header for hostname setting
- passwords stored in bcrypt format
- channels that persist between restarts (+P)
Why?
I wanted to learn Go.
What’s with the name?
“Ergonomadic” is an anagram of “Go IRC Daemon”.
What about SSL/TLS support?
Go has a not-yet-verified-as-safe TLS 1.2 implementation. Sadly, many popular IRC clients will negotiate nothing newer than SSLv2. If you want to use SSL to protect traffic, I recommend using stunnel version 4.56 with haproxy’s PROXY protocol. This will allow the server to get the client’s original addresses for hostname lookups.
What about federation?
IRC federation solves a problem that was more likely to occur on the internet of 1991 than today. We are exploring alternatives to federation that avoid nickname and channel sync issues created during netsplits.
Installation
