5soju - IRC bouncer

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
47soju will reload the configuration file, the TLS certificate/key and the MOTD
48file when it receives the HUP signal. The configuration options _listen_, _db_
49and _log_ cannot be reloaded.
50
51Administrators can broadcast a message to all bouncer users via _/notice
52$<hostname> <text>_, or via _/notice $\* <text>_ in multi-upstream mode. All
53currently connected bouncer users will receive the message from the special
54_BouncerServ_ service.
55
56# OPTIONS
57
58*-h, -help*
59 Show help message and quit.
60
61*-config* <path>
62 Path to the config file. If unset, a default config file is used.
63
64*-debug*
65 Enable debug logging (this will leak sensitive information such as
66 passwords).
67
68*-listen* <uri>
69 Listening URI (default: ":6697"). Can be specified multiple times.
70
71# CONFIG FILE
72
73The config file has one directive per line.
74
75Example:
76
77```
78listen ircs://
79tls cert.pem key.pem
80hostname example.org
81```
82
83The following directives are supported:
84
85*listen* <uri>
86 Listening URI (default: ":6697").
87
88 The following URIs are supported:
89
90 - _[ircs://][host][:port]_ listens with TLS over TCP (default port if
91 omitted: 6697)
92 - _irc+insecure://[host][:port]_ listens with plain-text over TCP (default
93 port if omitted: 6667)
94 - _unix:///<path>_ listens on a Unix domain socket
95 - _wss://[host][:port]_ listens for WebSocket connections over TLS (default
96 port: 443)
97 - _ws+insecure://[host][:port]_ listens for plain-text WebSocket
98 connections (default port: 80)
99 - _ident://[host][:port]_ listens for plain-text ident connections (default
100 port: 113)
101
102 If the scheme is omitted, "ircs" is assumed. If multiple *listen*
103 directives are specified, soju will listen on each of them.
104
105*hostname* <name>
106 Server hostname (default: system hostname).
107
108*title* <title>
109 Server title. This will be sent as the _ISUPPORT NETWORK_ value when clients
110 don't select a specific network.
111
112*tls* <cert> <key>
113 Enable TLS support. The certificate and the key files must be PEM-encoded.
114
115*db* <driver> <source>
116 Set the database location for user, network and channel storage. By default,
117 a _sqlite3_ database is opened in "./soju.db".
118
119 Supported drivers:
120
121 - _sqlite3_ expects _source_ to be a path to the SQLite file
122 - _postgres_ expects _source_ to be a space-separated list of _key=value_
123 parameters, e.g. _db postgres "host=/run/postgresql dbname=soju"_. Note
124 that _sslmode_ defaults to _require_. For more information on connection
125 strings, see:
126 <https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/lib/pq#hdr-Connection_String_Parameters>.
127
128*log* fs <path>
129 Path to the bouncer logs root directory, or empty to disable logging. By
130 default, logging is disabled.
131
132*http-origin* <patterns...>
133 List of allowed HTTP origins for WebSocket listeners. The parameters are
134 interpreted as shell patterns, see *glob*(7).
135
136 By default, only the request host is authorized. Use this directive to
137 enable cross-origin WebSockets.
138
139*accept-proxy-ip* <cidr...>
140 Allow the specified IPs to act as a proxy. Proxys have the ability to
141 overwrite the remote and local connection addresses (via the PROXY protocol,
142 the Forwarded HTTP header field defined in RFC 7239 or the X-Forwarded-\*
143 HTTP header fields). The special name "localhost" accepts the loopback
144 addresses 127.0.0.0/8 and ::1/128.
145
146 By default, all IPs are rejected.
147
148*max-user-networks* <limit>
149 Maximum number of networks per user. By default, there is no limit.
150
151*motd* <path>
152 Path to the MOTD file. The bouncer MOTD is sent to clients which aren't
153 bound to a specific network. By default, no MOTD is sent.
154
155*multi-upstream-mode* true|false
156 Globally enable or disable multi-upstream mode. By default, multi-upstream
157 mode is enabled.
158
159# IRC SERVICE
160
161soju exposes an IRC service called *BouncerServ* to manage the bouncer.
162Commands can be sent via regular private messages
163(_/msg BouncerServ <command> [args...]_). Commands may be written in full or
164abbreviated form, for instance *network* can be abbreviated as *net* or just
165*n*.
166
167*help* [command]
168 Show a list of commands. If _command_ is specified, show a help message for
169 the command.
170
171*network create* *-addr* <addr> [options...]
172 Connect to a new network at _addr_. _-addr_ is mandatory.
173
174 _addr_ supports several connection types:
175
176 - _[ircs://]<host>[:port]_ connects with TLS over TCP
177 - _irc+insecure://<host>[:port]_ connects with plain-text TCP
178 - _irc+unix:///<path>_ connects to a Unix socket
179
180 Other options are:
181
182 *-name* <name>
183 Short network name. This will be used instead of _addr_ to refer to the
184 network.
185
186 *-username* <username>
187 Connect with the specified username. By default, the nickname is used.
188
189 *-pass* <pass>
190 Connect with the specified server password.
191
192 *-realname* <realname>
193 Connect with the specified real name. By default, the account's realname
194 is used if set, otherwise the network's nickname is used.
195
196 *-nick* <nickname>
197 Connect with the specified nickname. By default, the account's username
198 is used.
199
200 *-enabled* true|false
201 Enable or disable the network. If the network is disabled, the bouncer
202 won't connect to it. By default, the network is enabled.
203
204 *-connect-command* <command>
205 Send the specified command as a raw IRC message right after connecting
206 to the server. This can be used to identify to an account when the
207 server doesn't support SASL.
208
209 For instance, to identify with _NickServ_, the following command can be
210 used:
211
212 ```
213 PRIVMSG NickServ :IDENTIFY <password>
214 ```
215
216 The flag can be specified multiple times to send multiple IRC messages.
217 To clear all commands, set it to the empty string.
218
219*network update* <name> [options...]
220 Update an existing network. The options are the same as the
221 _network create_ command.

223 When this command is executed, soju will disconnect and re-connect to the
224 network.
225
226*network delete* <name>
227 Disconnect and delete a network.
228
229*network quote* <name> <command>

285
286 Example duration values: *1h30m*, *30s*, *2.5h*.
287
288 Setting this value to 0 will disable this behaviour, i.e. this channel will never be automatically detached. This is the default behaviour.
289
290 *-detach-on* <mode>
291 Set when to reset the auto-detach timer used by *-detach-after*, causing it to wait again for the auto-detach duration timer before detaching.
292 Joining, reattaching, sending a message, or changing any channel option will reset the timer, in addition to the messages specified by the mode.
