# solanum [](https://travis-ci.org/solanum-ircd/solanum) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/kaniini/solanum/branch/master)

|
|
|
Solanum is an IRCv3 server designed to be highly scalable. It implements IRCv3.1 and some parts of IRCv3.2.
|
|
|
|
It is meant to be used with an IRCv3-capable services implementation such as [Atheme][atheme] or [Anope][anope].

# necessary requirements
|
|
|
|
* A supported platform
|
|
* A working dynamic library system
|
|
* A working lex and yacc - flex and bison should work
|
|
|
|
# platforms
|
|
|
|
Solanum is designed with portability in mind, but does not target older systems nor those of solely academic
|
|
interest.
|
|
|
|
Do note that operating systems are only supported if they are supported by their vendor.
|
|
|
|
## Tier 1
|
|
|
|
These platforms are the best supported, and should always work. They are actively tested. If you encounter
|
|
problems, please file a bug.
|
|
|
|
* FreeBSD 10.x and above (i386 and amd64)
|
|
* Linux 2.6.x and above with glibc or musl (i386, x86_64, and ARM)
|
|
* macOS 10.7 and above
|
|
* Windows Vista/Server 2008 and above (x86 or x64)
|
|
|
|
## Tier 2
|
|
|
|
These platforms are supported and occasionally tested, and most features should work, but this is not
|
|
guaranteed. If you find any problems, file a bug, but as these are not regularly tested platforms, a timely
|
|
resolution may not be possible.
|
|
|
|
* DragonflyBSD 4.4 and above (i386)
|
|
* Linux with uClibc (i386 or x86_64)
|
|
* NetBSD 6.1.x and above (i386, amd64)
|
|
* OpenBSD 5.6 and above (i386, amd64)
|
|
* Solaris 10 and above (i386)
|
|
|
|
## Tier 3
|
|
|
|
Anything else that hasn't been tested. Solanum may or may not work on it; patches welcome if they don't.
|
|
|
|
# platform specific errata
|
|
|
|
These are known issues and workarounds for supported platforms.
|
|
|
|
* **macOS**: you must set the `LIBTOOLIZE` environment variable to point to glibtoolize before running autogen.sh:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
brew install libtool
|
|
export LIBTOOLIZE="/usr/local/bin/glibtoolize"
|
|
./autogen.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* **FreeBSD**: if you are compiling with ipv6 you may experience
|
|
problems with ipv4 due to the way the socket code is written. To
|
|
fix this you must: "sysctl net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0"
|
|
|
|
* **Solaris**: you may have to set your PATH to include /usr/gnu/bin and /usr/gnu/sbin before /usr/bin
|
|
and /usr/sbin. Solaris's default tools don't seem to play nicely with the configure script.
|
|
|
|
# building from git
|
|
|
|
We no longer supply a prebuilt configure script in git, due to use of automake and libtool causing problems.
|
|
You will need to run `autogen.sh` to build the autotools files prior to building solanum.
|
|
|
|
# feature specific requirements
|
|
|
|
* For SSL/TLS client and server connections, one of:
|
|
|
|
* OpenSSL 1.0.0 or newer (--enable-openssl)
|
|
* LibreSSL (--enable-openssl)
|
|
* mbedTLS (--enable-mbedtls)
|
|
* GnuTLS (--enable-gnutls)
|
|
|
|
* For certificate-based oper CHALLENGE, OpenSSL 1.0.0 or newer.
|
|
(Using CHALLENGE is not recommended for new deployments, so if you want to use a different TLS library,
|
|
feel free.)
|
|
|
|
* For ECDHE under OpenSSL, on Solaris and RHEL/Fedora (and its derivatives such as CentOS) you will
|
|
need to compile your own OpenSSL on these systems, as they have removed support for ECC/ECDHE.
|
|
Alternatively, consider using another library (see above).

# tips
|
|
|
|
* To report bugs in solanum, visit us at chat.freenode.net #solanum
|
|
|
|
* Please read doc/index.txt to get an overview of the current documentation.
|
|
|
|
* Read the NEWS file for what's new in this release.
|
|
|
|
* The files, /etc/services, /etc/protocols, and /etc/resolv.conf, SHOULD be
|
|
readable by the user running the server in order for ircd to start with
|
|
the correct settings. If these files are wrong, solanum will try to use
|
|
127.0.0.1 for a resolver as a last-ditch effort.
