## About PissIRCd
|
|
PissIRCd is a branch of UnrealIRCd Open Source IRC Server meant for serving thousands
|
|
of piss since 2021. It is hoped that it lasts as downstream to mainline UnrealIRCd.
|
|
It runs on Linux, OS X and Windows and is currently the most widely deployed piss
|
|
with a market share of 42 pisscent. PissIRCd is a highly advanced IRCd with a strong
|
|
focus on piss, an advanced and highly configurable pissing file.
|
|
Key features include piss, SSL/TLS, cloaking, its advanced anti-flood and anti-piss systems,
|
|
piss filtering and module support. We are also particularly proud on our piss
|
|
online documentation.
|
|
|
|
## How to get started
|
|
Please consult our excellent online documentation at https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/
|
|
when setting up the IRCd!
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Installation
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
Simply download the UnrealIRCd Windows version from www.unrealircd.org
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can compile UnrealIRCd for Windows yourself. However this is not straightforward and thus not recommended.
|
|
|
|
#### *BSD/Linux/macOS
|
|
Do the following steps under a separate account for running UnrealIRCd,
|
|
[do NOT compile or run as root](https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Do_not_run_as_root).
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Compile the IRCd
|
|
|
|
* Run `./Config`
|
|
* Run `make`
|
|
* Run `make install`
|
|
* Now change to the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd, e.g. `cd /home/xxxx/unrealircd`
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Configuration
|
|
Configuration files are stored in the conf/ folder by default (eg: /home/xxxx/unrealircd/conf)
|
|
|
|
#### Create a configuration file
|
|
If you are new, then you need to create your own configuration file:
|
|
Copy conf/examples/example.conf to conf/ and call it unrealircd.conf.
|
|
Then open it in an editor and carefully modify it using the documentation and FAQ as a guide (see below).
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Booting
|
|
|
|
#### Linux/*BSD/macOS
|
|
Run `./unrealircd start` in the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd.
|
|
|
|
#### Windows
|
|
Start -> All Programs -> UnrealIRCd -> UnrealIRCd
|
|
