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.

Installation

Download the latest release from this page: https://github.com/DanielOaks/oragono/releases/latest

Extract it into a folder, then run the following commands:

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 suitable for testing purposes. For real crets, look into Let’s Encrypt!

Configuration

The default config file oragono.yaml helps walk you through what each option means and changes. The configuration’s intended to be sparse, so if there are options missing it’s either because that feature isn’t written/configurable yet or because we don’t think it should be configurable.

Logs

By default, logs are stored in the file ircd.log. The configuration format of logs is designed to be easily pluggable, and is inspired by the logging config provided by InspIRCd.

Passwords

Passwords (for both PASS and oper logins) are stored using bcrypt. To generate encrypted strings for use in the config, use the genpasswd subcommand as such:

oragono genpasswd

With this, you receive a blob of text which you can plug into your configuration file.

Running

After this, running the server is easy! Simply run the below command and you should see the relevant startup information pop up.

oragono run
