Ergonomadic

Ergonomadic is an IRC daemon written from scratch in Go.

Some Features

  • follows the RFC where possible
  • JSON-based configuration
  • server password
  • channels with many standard modes
  • IRC operators
  • TLS support (but better to use stunnel with proxy protocol)
  • haproxy PROXY protocol header for hostname setting
  • passwords stored in bcrypt format

Why?

I wanted to learn Go.

What's with the name?

"Ergonomadic" is an anagram of "Go IRC Daemon".
