CrIRCd - IRCD (deamon) in Crystal

This is an crystal IRC server made to follow the spec over time. Right now it is not 100% supporting the spec and is not recommended for production.

What you can do now:

• let user connect
• Send MOTD and stats to the user
• PING/PONG with disconnection after 3 unanswered PINGS.
• send Peer to peer message between users.
• channels
• send messages in channels
• Kick user from channel
• invite user to channel
• set topic in channel
• make channel private
• set password on channel
• set limit on channel
• set channel as secret
• able to list channels
• ban user from channel
• able to lookup ip and hostname of user
• whois user
• logging last active time of user
• logging signon time of user

Plan to have:

• chan modes
• User modes
• GLines support
• lookup for bans
• Server OPs
• SSL TLS support
• NickServ
• ChanServ
• Server-to-server communication

How to run

Would need crystal >= 1.4 to build this server.

1. clone this repo
2. build the program with: crystal build --release ./src/circed.cr
3. run the program with ./circed

Config

The config is in config.yml and is pretty self explanatory. You can change the port, hostname, stats and other things.

Known issues

• NAMES list of users in channel is not working correctly
• Some things like NICK change won't update users in channels of the change yet
• socket errors
• timeout errors
