kawaii

ellidri, your kawaii IRC server.

Features

• RFC 1459 and 2812 compliance (almost! see #1)

• Multiple listening ports
• Capabilities (version 302)
• kawaii messages

Supported capabilities:

• cap-notify

ellidri only supports the UTF-8 encoding for messages, though for now it only supports ASCII casemapping for channels.

Build and install

Prerequisites:

• The Rust compiler (at least version 1.39) and Cargo: https://rustup.rs/
• On Linux, the OpenSSL library and its development files

Install ellidri with cargo install ellidri

Build it with cargo build. Append the --release flag to build with optimizations enabled.

Usage

ellidri needs a configuration file to run. Its format is the following:

file = *( line "\n" ) line = sp key sp value sp key = word value = *( word / sp ) sp = any sequence of whitespace

An example configuration file with all settings and their defaults can be found in doc/ellidri.conf.

To start ellidri, pass the path of the configuration file as its first argument:

```shell cargo run -- doc/ellidri.conf

or

./target/debug/ellidri doc/ellidri.conf

or

./target/release/ellidri doc/ellidri.conf ```
