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 TLS certificate and key when it receives the HUP signal.
48
49# OPTIONS
50
51*-h, -help*
52 Show help message and quit.
53
54*-config* <path>
55 Path to the config file. If unset, a default config file is used.
56
57*-debug*
58 Enable debug logging (this will leak sensitive information such as
59 passwords).
60
61*-listen* <uri>
62 Listening URI (default: ":6697"). Can be specified multiple times.
63
64# CONFIG FILE
65
66The config file has one directive per line.
67
68Example:
69
70```
71listen ircs://
72tls cert.pem key.pem
73hostname example.org
74```
75
76The following directives are supported:
77
78*listen* <uri>
79 Listening URI (default: ":6697").
80
81 The following URIs are supported:
82
83 - _[ircs://][host][:port]_ listens with TLS over TCP (default port if
84 omitted: 6697)
85 - _irc+insecure://[host][:port]_ listens with plain-text over TCP (default
86 port if omitted: 6667)
87 - _unix:///<path>_ listens on a Unix domain socket
88 - _wss://[host][:port]_ listens for WebSocket connections over TLS (default
89 port: 443)
90 - _ws+insecure://[host][:port]_ listens for plain-text WebSocket
91 connections (default port: 80)
92 - _ident://[host][:port]_ listens for plain-text ident connections (default
93 port: 113)
94
95 If the scheme is omitted, "ircs" is assumed. If multiple *listen*
96 directives are specified, soju will listen on each of them.
97
98*hostname* <name>
99 Server hostname (default: system hostname).
100
101*tls* <cert> <key>
102 Enable TLS support. The certificate and the key files must be PEM-encoded.
103
104*db* sqlite3 <path>
105 Set the SQLite database path (default: "soju.db" in the current directory).
106
107*log* fs <path>
108 Path to the bouncer logs root directory, or empty to disable logging. By
109 default, logging is disabled.
110
111*http-origin* <patterns...>
112 List of allowed HTTP origins for WebSocket listeners. The parameters are
113 interpreted as shell patterns, see *glob*(7).
114
115*accept-proxy-ip* <cidr...>
116 Allow the specified IPs to act as a proxy. Proxys have the ability to
117 overwrite the remote and local connection addresses (via the X-Forwarded-\*
118 HTTP header fields). The special name "localhost" accepts the loopback
119 addresses 127.0.0.0/8 and ::1/128. By default, all IPs are rejected.
120
121# IRC SERVICE
122
123soju exposes an IRC service called *BouncerServ* to manage the bouncer.
124Commands can be sent via regular private messages
125(_/msg BouncerServ <command> [args...]_). Commands may be written in full or
126abbreviated form, for instance *network* can be abbreviated as *net* or just
127*n*.
128
129*help* [command]
130 Show a list of commands. If _command_ is specified, show a help message for
131 the command.
132
133*network create* *-addr* <addr> [options...]
134 Connect to a new network at _addr_. _-addr_ is mandatory.
135
136 _addr_ supports several connection types:
137
138 - _[ircs://]<host>[:port]_ connects with TLS over TCP
139 - _irc+insecure://<host>[:port]_ connects with plain-text TCP
140 - _irc+unix:///<path>_ connects to a Unix socket
141
142 Other options are:
143
144 *-name* <name>
145 Short network name. This will be used instead of _addr_ to refer to the
146 network.
147
148 *-username* <username>
149 Connect with the specified username. By default, the nickname is used.
150
151 *-pass* <pass>
152 Connect with the specified server password.
153
154 *-realname* <realname>
155 Connect with the specified real name. By default, the nickname is used.
156
157 *-nick* <nickname>
158 Connect with the specified nickname. By default, the account's username
159 is used.
160
161 *-connect-command* <command>
162 Send the specified command as a raw IRC message right after connecting
163 to the server. This can be used to identify to an account when the
164 server doesn't support SASL.
165
166 For instance, to identify with _NickServ_, the following command can be
167 used:
168
169 ```
170 PRIVMSG NickServ :IDENTIFY <password>
171 ```
172
173 The flag can be specified multiple times to send multiple IRC messages.
174 To clear all commands, set it to the empty string.
175
176*network update* <name> [options...]
177 Update an existing network. The options are the same as the
178 _network create_ command.
179
180 When this command is executed, soju will disconnect and re-connect to the
181 network.
182
183*network delete* <name>
184 Disconnect and delete a network.
185
186*network status*
187 Show a list of saved networks and their current status.
188
189*channel update* <name> [options...]
190 Update the options of an existing channel.
191
192 Options are:
193
194 *-relay-detached* <mode>
195 Set when to relay messages from detached channels to the user with a BouncerServ NOTICE.
196
197 Modes are:
198
199 *message*
200 Relay any message from this channel when detached.
201
202 *highlight*
203 Relay only messages mentioning you when detached.
204
205 *none*
206 Don't relay any messages from this channel when detached.
207
208 *default*
209 Currently same as *highlight*. This is the default behaviour.
210
211 *-reattach-on* <mode>
212 Set when to automatically reattach to detached channels.
213
214 Modes are:
215
216 *message*
217 Reattach to this channel when any message is received.
218
219 *highlight*
220 Reattach to this channel when any message mentioning you is received.
221
222 *none*
223 Never automatically reattach to this channel.
224
225 *default*
226 Currently same as *none*. This is the default behaviour.
227
228 *-detach-after* <duration>

233 Setting this value to 0 will disable this behaviour, i.e. this channel will never be automatically detached. This is the default behaviour.
234
235 *-detach-on* <mode>
236 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.
237 Joining, reattaching, sending a message, or changing any channel option will reset the timer, in addition to the messages specified by the mode.
