Ergonomadic

Ergonomadic is an IRC daemon written from scratch in Go. Pull requests and issues are welcome.

Some Features

follows the RFC where possible
gcfg gitconfig-style configuration
server password (PASS command)
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.

Installation

go get
go install
ergonomadic -conf ergonomadic.conf -initdb

Configuration

See the example ergonomadic.conf. Passwords are base64-encoded bcrypted byte strings. You can generate them with the genpasswd subcommand.

ergonomadic -genpasswd 'hunter2!'

Running the Server

ergonomadic -conf ergonomadic.conf
