37 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# CONFIGURATION FORMAT #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-
39 # In order to maintain compatibility with older configuration files, #
40 # you can change the configuration parser to parse as it did in #
41 # previous releases. When using the "compat" format, you need to use #
42 # C++ escape sequences (e.g. \n) instead of XML ones (e.g. &nl;) and #
43 # can not use <define> to create macros. #
44 #<config format="compat">
46 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# INCLUDE CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
48 # This optional tag allows you to include another config file #
49 # allowing you to keep your configuration tidy. The configuration #
50 # file you include will be treated as part of the configuration file #
51 # which includes it, in simple terms the inclusion is transparent. #
53 # All paths to config files are relative to the directory that the #
56 # You may also include an executable file, in which case if you do so #
57 # the output of the executable on the standard output will be added #
58 # to your config at the point of the include tag. #
60 # Syntax is as follows: #
61 #<include file="file.conf"> #
62 #<include executable="/path/to/executable parameters"> #
64 # Executable include example: #
65 #<include executable="/usr/bin/wget -q -O - https://example.com/inspircd.conf">
69 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# VARIABLE DEFINITIONS -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
71 # You can define variables that will be substituted later in the #
72 # configuration file. This can be useful to allow settings to be #
73 # easily changed, or to parameterize a remote includes. #
75 # Variables may be redefined and may reference other variables. #
76 # Value expansion happens at the time the tag is read. #

140 # on has more than one IP, else the ircd will try to bind to all
141 # IP's on the box if this is not defined.
144 # port: Port for users or servers to be able to connect to.
145 # you can select multiple ports by separating them
146 # with a - character like the example below.
149 # type: Type of bind block this is. It can either be clients or
150 # servers. Whichever you select will be the only type able to connect
151 # to this bind section.
154 # ssl: If you want the port(s) in this bind tag to use SSL, set this to
155 # the name of a custom <sslprofile> tag that you have defined or one
156 # of "openssl", "gnutls", "mbedtls" if you have not defined any. See the
157 # wiki page for the SSL module you are using for more details.

211 # This is where you can configure which connections are allowed #
212 # and denied access onto your server. The password is optional. #
213 # You may have as many of these as you require. To allow/deny all #
214 # connections, use a '*' or 0.0.0.0/0. #
216 # -- It is important to note that connect tags are read from the -- #
217 # TOP DOWN. This means that you should have more specific deny #
218 # and allow tags at the top, progressively more general, followed #
219 # by a <connect allow="*" (should you wish to have one). #
221 # Connect blocks are searched twice for each user - once when the TCP #
222 # connection is accepted, and once when the user completes their #
223 # registration. Most of the information (hostname, ident response, #
224 # password, SSL when using STARTTLS, etc) is only available during #
225 # the second search, so if you are trying to make a closed server, #
226 # you will probably need a connect block just for user registration. #
227 # This can be done by using <connect registered="no"> #
230 # deny: Will not let people connect if they have specified host/IP.
233 # connect:reason is the message that users will see if they match a deny block
234 <connect deny="3ffe::0/32" reason="The 6bone address space is deprecated">
237 # name: Name to use for this connect block. Mainly used for
238 # connect class inheriting.
241 # parent: This setting is to specify if this connect class
242 # inherits settings from any other. Put the other class's name
243 # in here to use its settings as a template - for example, if
244 # you only want to adjust sendq and a password
247 # allow: The IP address or hostname of clients that can use this
248 # class. You can specify either an exact match, a glob match, or
252 # hash: the hash function this password is hashed with. Requires the
253 # module for the selected function (bcrypt, md5, sha1, or sha256) and
254 # the password hashing module (password_hash) to be loaded.

305 # module be loaded as well.
308 # requireident, requiressl, requireaccount: require that users of this
309 # block have a valid ident response, use SSL, or have authenticated.
310 # Requires ident, sslinfo, or the services_account module, respectively.
312 # NOTE: For requireaccount, you must complete the signon prior to full

386 # either be fakelagged or killed when they reach the threshold
388 # Units are millicommands per second, so 1000 means one line per second.
391 # fakelag: Use fakelag instead of killing users for excessive flood
393 # Fake lag stops command processing for a user when a flood is detected rather than
394 # immediately killing them; their commands are held in the recvq and processed later
395 # as the user's command penalty drops. Note that if this is enabled, flooders will
396 # quit with "RecvQ exceeded" rather than "Excess Flood".
399 # localmax: Maximum local connections per IP.

785 # This configuration tag defines the maximum sizes of various types #
786 # on IRC, such as the maximum length of a channel name, and the #
787 # maximum length of a channel. Note that with the exception of the #
788 # identmax value all values given here are the exact values you would #
789 # expect to see on IRC. This contrasts with the older InspIRCd #
790 # releases where these values would be one character shorter than #
791 # defined to account for a null terminator on the end of the text. #
793 # These values should match network-wide otherwise issues will occur. #
795 # The highest safe value you can set any of these options to is 500, #
796 # but it is recommended that you keep them somewhat #
797 # near their defaults (or lower). #
800 # maxnick: Maximum length of a nickname.

843 # Logging is covered with the <log> tag, which you may use to change
844 # the behaviour of the logging of the IRCd.
846 # An example log tag would be:
847 # <log method="file" type="OPER" level="default" target="opers.log">
848 # which would log all information on /oper (failed and successful) to
849 # a file called opers.log.
851 # There are many different types which may be used, and modules may
852 # generate their own. A list of useful types:
853 # - USERS - information relating to user connection and disconnection
854 # - OPER - succesful and failed oper attempts
855 # - KILL - kill related messages
856 # - FILTER - messages related to filter matches (filter module)
857 # - CONFIG - configuration related messages
858 # - COMMAND - die and restart messages, and messages related to unknown user types
859 # - SOCKET - socket engine informational/error messages
860 # - MODULE - module related messages
861 # - STARTUP - messages related to starting up the server
863 # You may also log *everything* by using a type of *, and subtract things out
864 # of that by using -TYPE - for example "* -USERINPUT -USEROUTPUT".
867 # - default (general messages, including errors)
868 # - sparse (misc error messages)
869 # - debug (debug messages)
871 # Some types only produce output in the debug level, those are:
872 # - BANCACHE - ban cache debug messages
873 # - CHANNELS - information relating to joining/creating channels
874 # - CULLLIST - debug messages related to issues with removing users
875 # - RESOLVER - DNS related debug messages
876 # - CONNECTCLASS - Connection class debug messages
880 # If your server is producing a high levels of log messages you can also set the
881 # flush="[positive number]" attribute to specify how many log messages should be
882 # buffered before flushing to disk. You should probably not specify this unless
883 # you are having problems.
