Ergo
Modern IRC server with integrated services and history
Ergo (formerly Oragono) is a modern IRC server daemon written in Go. It combines an IRCd with built-in services functionality to provide accounts, persistent history, and bouncer-like behavior in a single deployable server.
Key Features
- IRC server daemon (ircd) designed to be simple to set up and operate
- Integrated account management and channel registration/services-style commands
- Persistent message history and bouncer-like user experience without separate software
- Strong IRCv3 support, suitable for modern IRC clients and networks
- Highly customizable, runtime-reloadable YAML configuration (rehashable config)
- SASL authentication support for automatic account login from clients
Use Cases
- Hosting a private or community IRC network with modern IRCv3 features
- Running an IRC server with built-in accounts and registered channels without extra services
- Providing persistent history for users across reconnects without an external bouncer
Ergo is a strong choice for running an IRC network that needs modern protocol capabilities while keeping operations straightforward. Its integrated approach reduces the need to deploy separate services components for many common IRC network needs.
