Configuration

This file documents ALL configuration options. Because juno is so excessively configurable, the less frequently used ones are omitted from the example configuration but are present here.

Server info

Basic server info. 

[ server ]

    network     = 'JunoDevNet'                  # network name
    name        = 'devserver.example.com'       # server name
    description = 'juno development server'     # server description
    sex         = 'male'                        # server gender
    id          = 0                             # server ID (must be unique and integral)
    casemapping = 'rfc1459'                     # 'rfc1459' or 'ascii'
                                                # you MUST use rfc1459 if using TS6

Modes

Mode definitions. These are omitted from the example configuration because, when not otherwise specified, defaults are used. These are merely mappings; you can safely define modes which may not even be present on the server (due to the providing modules not being loaded) without breaking things.

User modes 

[ modes: user ]

    ircop         = 'o'                         # IRC operator                         (o)

    deaf          = 'D'                         # does not receive channel messages    (D)

    wallops       = 'w'                         # receives wallops                     (w)
    bot           = 'B'                         # marks user as a bot                  (B)

Channel modes

  • mode_normal - no parameter
  • mode_param - parameter always
  • mode_pset - parameter only when setting
  • mode_list - banlike/list mode
  • mode_key - channel key (special case) [ modes: channel ] no_ext = [ mode_normal, 'n' ] # no external channel messages (n) protect_topic = [ mode_normal, 't' ] # only operators can set the topic (t) invite_only = [ mode_normal, 'i' ] # you must be invited to join (i) free_invite = [ mode_normal, 'g' ] # you do not need op to invite (g) free_forward = [ mode_normal, 'F' ] # you do not need op in forwad channel (F) oper_only = [ mode_normal, 'O' ] # you need to be an ircop to join (O) moderated = [ mode_normal, 'm' ] # only voiced and up may speak (m) secret = [ mode_normal, 's' ] # secret channel (s) private = [ mode_normal, 'p' ] # private channel, hide and no knocks (p) ban = [ mode_list, 'b' ] # channel ban (b) mute = [ mode_list, 'Z' ] # channel mute ban (Z) except = [ mode_list, 'e' ] # ban exception (e) invite_except = [ mode_list, 'I' ] # invite-only exception (I) access = [ mode_list, 'A' ] # Channel::Access module list mode (A) limit = [ mode_pset, 'l' ] # Channel user limit mode (l) forward = [ mode_pset, 'f' ] # Channel forward mode (f) key = [ mode_key, 'k' ] # Channel key mode (k) permanent = [ mode_normal, 'P' ] # do not destroy channel when empty (P) reg_only = [ mode_normal, 'r' ] # only registered users can join (r) ssl_only = [ mode_normal, 'S' ] # only SSL users can join (S) strip_colors = [ mode_normal, 'c' ] # strip mIRC color codes from messages (c) op_moderated = [ mode_normal, 'z' ] # send blocked messages to channel ops (z) join_throttle = [ mode_pset, 'j' ] # limit join frequency N:T (j) no_forward = [ mode_normal, 'Q' ] # do not forward users to this channel (Q) large_banlist = [ mode_normal, 'L' ] # allow lots of entries on lists (L)

Channel status modes

Format is [ letter, preix, weight, weight to set ]. Higher weight has more privileges. Weight 0 is the reference point which should always refer to a normal channel op.

If the last element is omitted, then any user with weight greater than or equal to a given status mode can give/take that mode.

The default behavior is that admins can give/take admin, but halfops cannot give/take halfop. Only ops or higher can.

Note that anything less than -1 (halfop) cannot set/unset any status. This is because they cannot set any channel modes. 

[ prefixes ]

    owner  = [ 'q', '~',  2    ]                # channel owner                        (q)
    admin  = [ 'a', '&',  1    ]                # channel administrator                (a)
    op     = [ 'o', '@',  0    ]                # channel operator                     (o)
    halfop = [ 'h', '%', -1, 0 ]                # channel half-operator                (h)
    voice  = [ 'v', '+', -2    ]                # voiced channel member                (v)

Maximum values

Limits and maximum lengths. 

[ limit ]

    connection  = 100                           # max local connections

    # Maximum number of characters in:

    nick        = 32                            # nicknames
    topic       = 1000                          # channel topics

    key         = 50                            # channel keys

Classes

Connection classes are used for both users and servers.

Default classes are included in etc/class.conf.

Default class

Example default class.

This is used as a base for all connections. 

[ class: default ]

    # Base class for all connections

    max_perip       = 3                         # local  connections per IP address
    max_globalperip = 5                         # global connections per IP address
    max_client      = 80                        # users

User classes

Example user class.

It should have allows_users which matches ident@host masks. This is used for all users. 

[ class: users ]

    # Base class for all users

    extends         = 'default'                 # inherit from default
    allow_users     = '*@*'                     # allow all users to fit this class

    max_bytes_line  = 2048                      # bytes per line
    max_lines_sec   = 30                        # lines per second
    max_channel     = 100                       # channels a user can be in at once
    max_monitor     = 100                       # monitor entries; off = unlimited

    ping_freq       = 30                        # how often to send pings
    ping_timeout    = 120                       # seconds with no pong to drop user

Example restricted user class.

This example allows users matching the given mask to have higher queue limits. 

[ class: lanusers ]

    # Example user class with increased limits, requiring a specified mask
    # and password

    extends         = 'users'                   # inherit from users
    allow_users     = '*@192.168.*'             # allow users on LAN
    max_bytes_line  = 4096                      # increased limits
    max_lines_sec   = 60

    # Password (for PASS command) and encryption (NOT YET SUPPORTED)
    # Use ./juno mkpasswd to generated an encrypted password.
    # Accepted crypts: sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, md5, none

    password        = '13fbd79c3d390e5d6585a21e11ff5ec1970cff0c'
    encryption      = 'sha1'

Server classes

Example server class.

It should have allows_servers which matches server names. This is used for all servers. As with users, you can define additional classes with more specific server name masks. 

[ class: servers ]

    # Base class for all servers

    extends         = 'default'                 # inherit from default
    allow_servers   = '*'                       # allow all servers to fit this class
    
    ping_freq       = 20                        # how often to send pings
    ping_timeout    = 300                       # seconds with no pong to drop server
    ping_warn       = 60                        # seconds to warn about pings
    
    delta_max       = 120                       # max time delta in seconds
    delta_warn      = 30                        # time delta to produce a warning

IRC operator classes

Example IRC operator class.

These should have the requires_oper option present so that normal connections can't match them. See oper flags and oper notices for more up-to-date lists of available flags. 

[ class: locop ]

    requires_oper                               # only allow with OPER command
    extends = 'users'                           # all oper classes extend users

    # oper privs

    priv_rehash                                 # local rehash
    priv_see_invisible                          # see invisible users

    priv_see_secret                             # see secret channels
    priv_set_permanent                          # set permanent channels
    priv_set_large_banlist                      # set large channel lists
    priv_modesync                               # use MODESYNC command
    priv_squit                                  # disconnect local uplinks
    priv_connect                                # connect local uplinks

Listening

[listen] blocks are named by the host to listen on.

Examples below include dedicated ports for linking protocols. This is required for all linking protocols except for JELP, which may share ports with the client protocol. 

# all IPv4 hosts
[ listen: 0.0.0.0 ]

    port        = [6667..6669, 7000]            # unsecured listening ports
    sslport     = [6697]                        # secure ports
    ts6port     = [7001]                        # proto-specific port
    ts6sslport  = [7002]                        # proto-specific SSL port

# all IPv6 hosts
[ listen: :: ]

    port    = [6667..6669, 7000]                # unsecured listening ports
    sslport = [6697]                            # secure ports

[connect] blocks are named by the server name. 

[ connect: server2.example.com ]

    # Address(es) to accept connection from.
    # MUST be IP addresses, not hostnames.
    # Wildcards are accepted. Any number of address allowed.

        address = ['192.168.1.\\*', '127.0.0.1']

    # Outgoing port. If initiating a connection, the server will try this port.
    # Currently, this option does not affect incoming connections.

        port = 7000

    # Enable SSL connection? If so, be sure that the above port is an SSL listen
    # port and that the other server has SSL configured properly. This setting
    # is only applicable to outgoing connections which this server initiates.

        ssl = on

    # Plain text outgoing password

        send_password = 'k'

    # Incoming password and the encryption for it.
    # Accepted crypts: sha1, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, md5, none

        receive_password = '13fbd79c3d390e5d6585a21e11ff5ec1970cff0c'
        encryption       = 'sha1'

    # Auto connect on startup. Note that this only applies to when the server
    # is first started. To reconnect dropped connections, see auto_timer.

        #autoconnect

    # Reconnect timer. If connection drops, try again every x seconds.
    # Uncomment below if you wish to enable this feature.

        #auto_timer = 30

IRC operators

[oper] blocks are named by the oper name used with the OPER command. 

[ oper: admin ]

    # Operator class (optional).
    # If present, the oper will receive flags and notices defined in this class
    # and all other classes from which it may inherit.

        class = 'netadmin'

    # Hostmask(s) to accept for opering.
    # These can include either hostnames or IP addresses.
    # Multiple values accepted. Wildcards accepted.

        host = ['*@*']

    # The password and encryption for it

        password   = '13fbd79c3d390e5d6585a21e11ff5ec1970cff0c'
        encryption = 'sha1'

    # Flags (optional).
    # Oper flags which are specific to this oper. These will be granted in
    # conjunction with any others that might exist from oper classes.
    # Multiple flags accepted. Wildcards NOT accepted.
    # See doc/oper_flags.md. 'all' matches all flags.

        flags = ['all']

    # Oper notice flags (optional).
    # Notice flags which are specific to this oper. These will be granted in
    # conjunction with any others that might exist from oper classes.
    # Multiple flags accepted. Wildcards not accepted. 'all' matches all flags.

        notices = ['all']

See above for IRC operator classes.

Command aliases

Requires Alias module.

  • $N will be replaced with the Nth parameter;
  • $N- will be replaced with the Nth parameter and all which follow it.

The default ones here may be outdated; see the default configuration for up-to-date info.

IRCd definitions

These are used for linking with many types of servers. Generally you do not need this in your configuration, unless you intend to link juno with a server that is not supported by default.
