Oragono is a modern, experimental IRC server written in Go. It's designed to be simple to setup and use, and it includes features such as UTF-8 nicks / channel names, client accounts with SASL, and other assorted IRCv3 support.
|
|
|
|
Oragono is a fork of the [Ergonomadic](https://github.com/edmund-huber/ergonomadic) IRC daemon <3

## Installation
|
|
|
|
To go through the standard installation, download the latest release from this page: https://github.com/oragono/oragono/releases/latest
|
|
|
|
Extract it into a folder, then run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cp oragono.yaml ircd.yaml
|
|
vim ircd.yaml # modify the config file to your liking
|
|
oragono mkcerts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** For setting up proper Let's Encrypt certificates, we've got [this manual entry](https://github.com/oragono/oragono/blob/master/docs/MANUAL.md#how-do-i-use-lets-encrypt-certificates).
|
|
|
|
### Platform Packages
|
|
|
|
Some platforms/distros also have Oragono packages maintained for them:
|
|
|
|
* Arch Linux [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/oragono/) - Maintained by [Sean Enck (@enckse)](https://github.com/enckse).
|
|
|
|
### Using Docker (BETA)
|
|
|
|
A Dockerfile and docker-compose recipe are available in the [oragono-docker](https://github.com/oragono/oragono-docker) repository.
|
|
|
|
### From Source
|
|
|
|
You can also install this repo and use that instead! However, keep some things in mind if you go that way:
|
|
|
|
`devel` branches are intentionally unstable, containing fixes that may not work, and they may be rebased or reworked extensively.
|
|
|
|
The `master` branch _should_ usually be stable, but may contain database changes that either have not been finalised or not had database upgrade code written yet. Don't run `master` on a live production network.
|
|
|
|
The `stable` branch contains the latest release. You can run this for a production version without any trouble.
|
|
|
|
#### Building
|
|
|
|
You'll need an [up-to-date distribution of the Go language for your OS and architecture](https://golang.org/dl/). You'll also need to set up a [Go workspace](https://golang.org/doc/code.html). Typically, this is just a directory `~/go`, with the `GOPATH` environment variable exported to its path with `export GOPATH=~/go`.
|
|
|
|
Clone the repository where `go` expects it to be and then run `make`, i.e.,
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/oragono
|
|
cd ${GOPATH}/src/github.com/oragono
|
|
git clone https://github.com/oragono/oragono
|
|
cd oragono
|
|
# check out the appropriate branch if necessary
|
|
# now, this will install a development copy of oragono at ${GOPATH}/bin/oragono:
|
|
make
|
|
````
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
The default config file [`oragono.yaml`](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.
|
|
|
|
You can use the `--conf` parameter when launching Oragono to control where it looks for the config file. For instance: `oragono run --conf /path/to/ircd.yaml`. The configuration file also stores where the log, database, certificate, and other files are opened. Normally, all these files use relative paths, but you can change them to be absolute (such as `/var/log/ircd.log`) when running Oragono as a service.
|
|
|
|
### Logs
|
|
|
|
By default, logs go to stderr only. They can be configured to go to a file, or you can use systemd to direct the stderr to the system journal (see the manual for details). 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:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
oragono run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### How to register a channel
|
|
|
|
1. Register your account with `/NS REGISTER <username> <email> <password>`
|
|
2. Join the channel with `/join #channel`
|
|
3. Register the channel with `/CS REGISTER #channel`
|
|
|
|
After this, your channel will remember the fact that you're the owner, the topic, and any modes set on it!
|
|
|
|
Make sure to setup [SASL](https://freenode.net/kb/answer/sasl) in your client to automatically login to your account when you next join the server.
