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
49Administrators can broadcast a message to all bouncer users via _/notice
50$<hostname> <text>_, or via _/notice $\* <text>_ in multi-upstream mode. All
51currently connected bouncer users will receive the message from the special
52_BouncerServ_ service.
53
54# OPTIONS
55
56*-h, -help*
57 Show help message and quit.
58
59*-config* <path>
60 Path to the config file. If unset, a default config file is used.
61
62*-debug*
63 Enable debug logging (this will leak sensitive information such as
64 passwords).
65
66*-listen* <uri>
67 Listening URI (default: ":6697"). Can be specified multiple times.
68
69# CONFIG FILE
70
71The config file has one directive per line.
72
73Example:
74
75```
76listen ircs://
77tls cert.pem key.pem
78hostname example.org
79```
80
81The following directives are supported:
82
83*listen* <uri>
84 Listening URI (default: ":6697").
85
86 The following URIs are supported:
87
88 - _[ircs://][host][:port]_ listens with TLS over TCP (default port if
89 omitted: 6697)
90 - _irc+insecure://[host][:port]_ listens with plain-text over TCP (default
91 port if omitted: 6667)
92 - _unix:///<path>_ listens on a Unix domain socket
93 - _wss://[host][:port]_ listens for WebSocket connections over TLS (default
94 port: 443)
95 - _ws+insecure://[host][:port]_ listens for plain-text WebSocket
96 connections (default port: 80)
97 - _ident://[host][:port]_ listens for plain-text ident connections (default
98 port: 113)
99
100 If the scheme is omitted, "ircs" is assumed. If multiple *listen*
101 directives are specified, soju will listen on each of them.
102
103*hostname* <name>
104 Server hostname (default: system hostname).
105
106*tls* <cert> <key>
107 Enable TLS support. The certificate and the key files must be PEM-encoded.
108
109*db* sqlite3 <path>
110 Set the SQLite database path (default: "soju.db" in the current directory).
111
112*log* fs <path>
113 Path to the bouncer logs root directory, or empty to disable logging. By
114 default, logging is disabled.
115
116*http-origin* <patterns...>
117 List of allowed HTTP origins for WebSocket listeners. The parameters are
118 interpreted as shell patterns, see *glob*(7).
119
120 By default, only the request host is authorized. Use this directive to
121 enable cross-origin WebSockets.
122
123*accept-proxy-ip* <cidr...>
124 Allow the specified IPs to act as a proxy. Proxys have the ability to
125 overwrite the remote and local connection addresses (via the X-Forwarded-\*
126 HTTP header fields). The special name "localhost" accepts the loopback
127 addresses 127.0.0.0/8 and ::1/128. By default, all IPs are rejected.
128
129# IRC SERVICE
130
131soju exposes an IRC service called *BouncerServ* to manage the bouncer.
132Commands can be sent via regular private messages
133(_/msg BouncerServ <command> [args...]_). Commands may be written in full or
134abbreviated form, for instance *network* can be abbreviated as *net* or just
135*n*.
136
137*help* [command]
138 Show a list of commands. If _command_ is specified, show a help message for
139 the command.
140
141*network create* *-addr* <addr> [options...]
142 Connect to a new network at _addr_. _-addr_ is mandatory.
143
144 _addr_ supports several connection types:
145
146 - _[ircs://]<host>[:port]_ connects with TLS over TCP
147 - _irc+insecure://<host>[:port]_ connects with plain-text TCP
148 - _irc+unix:///<path>_ connects to a Unix socket
149
150 Other options are:
151
152 *-name* <name>
153 Short network name. This will be used instead of _addr_ to refer to the
154 network.
155
156 *-username* <username>
157 Connect with the specified username. By default, the nickname is used.
158
159 *-pass* <pass>
160 Connect with the specified server password.
161
162 *-realname* <realname>
163 Connect with the specified real name. By default, the nickname is used.
164
165 *-nick* <nickname>
166 Connect with the specified nickname. By default, the account's username
167 is used.
168
169 *-enabled* true|false
170 Enable or disable the network. If the network is disabled, the bouncer
171 won't connect to it. By default, the network is enabled.
172
173 *-connect-command* <command>
174 Send the specified command as a raw IRC message right after connecting
175 to the server. This can be used to identify to an account when the
176 server doesn't support SASL.
177
178 For instance, to identify with _NickServ_, the following command can be
179 used:
180
181 ```
182 PRIVMSG NickServ :IDENTIFY <password>
183 ```
184
185 The flag can be specified multiple times to send multiple IRC messages.
186 To clear all commands, set it to the empty string.
187
188*network update* <name> [options...]
189 Update an existing network. The options are the same as the
190 _network create_ command.
191
192 When this command is executed, soju will disconnect and re-connect to the
193 network.
194
195*network delete* <name>
196 Disconnect and delete a network.
197
198*network status*
199 Show a list of saved networks and their current status.
200
201*channel status* [options...]
202 Show a list of saved channels and their current status.
203
204 Options:
205
206 *-network* <name>
207 Only show channels for the specified network. By default, only the
208 channels in the current network are displayed.
209
210*channel update* <name> [options...]
211 Update the options of an existing channel.
212
213 Options are:
214

222
223 *highlight*
224 Relay only messages mentioning you when detached.
225
226 *none*
227 Don't relay any messages from this channel when detached.
228
229 *default*
230 Currently same as *highlight*. This is the default behaviour.
231
232 *-reattach-on* <mode>
233 Set when to automatically reattach to detached channels.

242
243 *none*
244 Never automatically reattach to this channel.

251
252 Example duration values: *1h30m*, *30s*, *2.5h*.
253
254 Setting this value to 0 will disable this behaviour, i.e. this channel will never be automatically detached. This is the default behaviour.
255
256 *-detach-on* <mode>
257 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.
