7# SYNOPSIS
8
9*soju* [options...]
10
11# DESCRIPTION
12
13soju is a user-friendly IRC bouncer. It connects to upstream IRC servers on
14behalf of the user to provide extra features.
15
16- Multiple separate users sharing the same bouncer, each with their own
17 upstream servers
18- Clients connecting to multiple upstream servers via a single connection to
19 the bouncer
20- Sending the backlog (messages received while the user was disconnected from
21 the bouncer), with per-client buffers
22
23When joining a channel, the channel will be saved and automatically joined on
24the next connection. When registering or authenticating with NickServ, the
25credentials will be saved and automatically used on the next connection if the
26server supports SASL. When parting a channel with the reason "detach", the
27channel will be detached instead of being left.
28
29When all clients are disconnected from the bouncer, the user is automatically
30marked as away.
31
32soju supports two connection modes:
33
34- Single upstream mode: one downstream connection maps to one upstream
35 connection. To enable this mode, connect to the bouncer with the username
36 "<username>/<network>". If the bouncer isn't connected to the upstream
37 server, it will get automatically added. Then channels can be joined and
38 parted as if you were directly connected to the upstream server.
39- Multiple upstream mode: one downstream connection maps to multiple upstream
40 connections. Channels and nicks are suffixed with the network name. To join
41 a channel, you need to use the suffix too: _/join #channel/network_. Same
42 applies to messages sent to users.
43
44For per-client history to work, clients need to indicate their name. This can
45be done by adding a "@<client>" suffix to the username.
46
47# OPTIONS
48
49*-h, -help*
50 Show help message and quit.
51
52*-config* <path>
53 Path to the config file. If unset, a default config file is used.
54
55*-debug*
56 Enable debug logging (this will leak sensitive information such as
57 passwords).
58
59*-listen* <uri>
60 Listening URI (default: ":6697").
61
62# CONFIG FILE
63
64The config file has one directive per line.
65
66Example:
67
68```
69listen ircs://
70tls cert.pem key.pem
71hostname example.org
72```
73
74The following directives are supported:
75
76*listen* <uri>
77 Listening URI (default: ":6697").
78
79 The following URIs are supported:
80
81 - _[ircs://][host][:port]_ listens with TLS over TCP (default port if
82 omitted: 6697)
83 - _irc+insecure://[host][:port]_ listens with plain-text over TCP (default
84 port if omitted: 6667)
85 - _wss://[host][:port]_ listens for WebSocket connections over TLS (default
86 port: 443)
87 - _ws+insecure://[host][:port]_ listens for plain-text WebSocket
88 connections (default port: 80)
89 - _ident://[host][:port]_ listens for plain-text ident connections (default
90 port: 113)
91
92 If the scheme is omitted, "ircs" is assumed. If multiple *listen*
93 directives are specified, soju will listen on each of them.
94
95*hostname* <name>
96 Server hostname (default: system hostname).
97
98*tls* <cert> <key>
99 Enable TLS support. The certificate and the key files must be PEM-encoded.
100
101*sql* <driver> <source>
102 Set the SQL driver settings. The only supported driver is "sqlite3". The
103 source is the path to the SQLite database file. By default, the path to the
104 database file is "soju.db".
105
106*log* <path>
107 Path to the bouncer logs root directory, or empty to disable logging. By
108 default, logging is disabled.
109
110*http-origin* <patterns...>
111 List of allowed HTTP origins for WebSocket listeners. The parameters are
112 interpreted as shell patterns, see *glob*(7).
113
114*accept-proxy-ip* <cidr...>
115 Allow the specified IPs to act as a proxy. Proxys have the ability to
116 overwrite the remote and local connection addresses (via the X-Forwarded-\*
117 HTTP header fields). By default, the loopback addresses 127.0.0.0/8 and
118 ::1/128 are accepted.
119
120# IRC SERVICE
121
122soju exposes an IRC service called *BouncerServ* to manage the bouncer.
123Commands can be sent via regular private messages
124(_/msg BouncerServ <command> [args...]_). Commands may be written in full or
125abbreviated form, for instance *network* can be abbreviated as *net* or just
126*n*.
127
128*help* [command]
129 Show a list of commands. If _command_ is specified, show a help message for
130 the command.
131
132*network create* *-addr* <addr> [options...]
133 Connect to a new network at _addr_. _-addr_ is mandatory.
134
135 _addr_ supports several connection types:
136
137 - _[ircs://]<host>[:port]_ connects with TLS over TCP
138 - _irc+insecure://<host>[:port]_ connects with plain-text TCP
139 - _irc+unix:///<path>_ connects to a Unix socket
140
141 Other options are:
142
143 *-name* <name>
144 Short network name. This will be used instead of _addr_ to refer to the
145 network.
146
147 *-username* <username>
148 Connect with the specified username. By default, the nickname is used.
149
150 *-pass* <pass>
151 Connect with the specified server password.
152
153 *-realname* <realname>
154 Connect with the specified real name. By default, the nickname is used.

157 Connect with the specified nickname. By default, the account's username
158 is used.
159
160*network update* <name> [options...]

162 _network create_ command.
163
164 When this command is executed, soju will disconnect and re-connect to the
165 network.
166
167*network delete* <name>
168 Disconnect and delete a network.
169
170*network status*
171 Show a list of saved networks and their current status.

180
181 *-key-type* <type>
