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

* 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
Download the latest release from this page: https://github.com/DanielOaks/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 initdb
oragono mkcerts
```
**Note:** This installation will give you unsigned certificates suitable for testing purposes.
For real crets, look into [Let's Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/)!
## 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.
### 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:
```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
```
<!--# 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
```-->
