README

matterircd

Minimal IRC server which integrates with mattermost and slack Tested on Windows / Linux

Most of the work happens in mm-go-irckit (based on github.com/shazow/go-irckit)

Docker

Run the irc server on port 6667. You'll need to specify -bind 0.0.0.0:6667 otherwise it only listens on 127.0.0.1 in the container.

docker run -p 6667:6667 42wim/matterircd:latest -bind 0.0.0.0:6667

Now you can connect with your IRC client to port 6667 on your docker host.

Compatibility

  • Matterircd v0.16.6 works with slack and mattermost 3.8.x - 3.10.0, 4.x

Master branch of matterircd should always work against latest STABLE mattermost release.

Features

  • support direct messages / private channels / edited messages
  • auto-join/leave to same channels as on mattermost
  • reconnects with backoff on mattermost restarts
  • support multiple users
  • support channel backlog (messages when you're disconnected from IRC/mattermost)
  • search messages (/msg mattermost search query)
  • scrollback support (/msg mattermost scrollback #channel limit)
  • restrict to specified mattermost instances
  • set default team/server
  • WHOIS, WHO, JOIN, LEAVE, NICK, LIST, ISON, PRIVMSG, MODE, TOPIC, LUSERS, AWAY, KICK, INVITE support
  • support TLS (ssl)
  • support LDAP logins (mattermost enterprise) (use your ldap account/pass to login)
  • &users channel that contains members of all teams (if mattermost is so configured) for easy messaging
  • supports mattermost roles (shows admins with @ status for now)
  • gitlab auth hack by using mmtoken cookie (see https://github.com/42wim/matterircd/issues/29)

Binaries

You can find the binaries here

  • For use with mattermost 3.8.0 and higher v0.16.4

Building

Go 1.8+ is required Make sure you have Go properly installed, including setting up your [GOPATH] (https://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH)

cd $GOPATH
go get github.com/42wim/matterircd

You should now have matterircd binary in the bin directory:

$ ls bin/
matterircd
