gossip

gossip is an IRC server.

Install

go install github.com/mitchr/gossip@latest

Usage

gossip by default looks for a file in the same directory as it called config.json. You can change this location by using gossip -conf=<path> This defines things like the name of the server and the port. To use TLS, you have to specify paths to pubkey and privkey.

To add a server password, use gossip -s. This will prompt you to enter a password and then save the bcrypt-ed hash in config.json. Similarly to add a new server operator, you can use gossip -o.

You can register an account using REGISTER PASS <pass>. By default, REGISTER uses your current nick as the username. If you are connected with a client tls certificate, REGISTER CERT will grab its fingerprint and use that for authentication. User accounts only support SASL authentication, so you must use PLAIN or SCRAM-SHA-256 for passwords, or EXTERNAL for certificate authentication. User accounts are by default stored in an in-memory sqlite database. You can specify a specific db file by changing the datasource config property.
