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 - http://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.

209 # and denied access onto your server. The password is optional. #
210 # You may have as many of these as you require. To allow/deny all #
211 # connections, use a '*' or 0.0.0.0/0. #
213 # -- It is important to note that connect tags are read from the -- #
214 # TOP DOWN. This means that you should have more specific deny #
215 # and allow tags at the top, progressively more general, followed #
216 # by a <connect allow="*" (should you wish to have one). #
218 # Connect blocks are searched twice for each user - once when the TCP #
219 # connection is accepted, and once when the user completes their #
220 # registration. Most of the information (hostname, ident response, #
221 # password, SSL when using STARTTLS, etc) is only available during #
222 # the second search, so if you are trying to make a closed server, #
223 # you will probably need a connect block just for user registration. #
224 # This can be done by using <connect registered="no"> #
227 # deny: Will not let people connect if they have specified host/IP.

756 #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-# LIMITS CONFIGURATION #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#
758 # This configuration tag defines the maximum sizes of various types #
759 # on IRC, such as the maximum length of a channel name, and the #
760 # maximum length of a channel. Note that with the exception of the #
761 # identmax value all values given here are the exact values you would #
762 # expect to see on IRC. This contrasts with the older InspIRCd #
763 # releases where these values would be one character shorter than #
764 # defined to account for a null terminator on the end of the text. #
766 # These values should match network-wide otherwise issues will occur. #
768 # The highest safe value you can set any of these options to is 500, #
769 # but it is recommended that you keep them somewhat #
770 # near their defaults (or lower). #
773 # maxnick: Maximum length of a nickname.
776 # maxchan: Maximum length of a channel name.
779 # maxmodes: Maximum number of mode changes per line.
782 # maxident: Maximum length of a ident/username.
785 # maxhost: Maximum length of a hostname.

805 # This configuration tag defines the location that InspIRCd stores #
806 # various types of files such as configuration files, log files and #
807 # modules. You will probably not need to change these from the values #
808 # set when InspIRCd was built unless you are using a binary package #

816 # Logging is covered with the <log> tag, which you may use to change
817 # the behaviour of the logging of the IRCd.
819 # An example log tag would be:
820 # <log method="file" type="OPER" level="default" target="opers.log">
821 # which would log all information on /oper (failed and successful) to
822 # a file called opers.log.
824 # There are many different types which may be used, and modules may
825 # generate their own. A list of useful types:
826 # - USERS - information relating to user connection and disconnection
827 # - OPER - succesful and failed oper attempts
828 # - KILL - kill related messages
829 # - snomask - server notices (*all* snomasks will be logged)
830 # - FILTER - messages related to filter matches (filter module)
831 # - CONFIG - configuration related messages
832 # - COMMAND - die and restart messages, and messages related to unknown user types
833 # - SOCKET - socket engine informational/error messages
834 # - MODULE - module related messages
835 # - STARTUP - messages related to starting up the server
837 # You may also log *everything* by using a type of *, and subtract things out
838 # of that by using -TYPE - for example "* -USERINPUT -USEROUTPUT".
841 # - default (general messages, including errors)
842 # - sparse (misc error messages)
843 # - debug (debug messages)
845 # Some types only produce output in the debug level, those are:
846 # - BANCACHE - ban cache debug messages
847 # - CHANNELS - information relating to joining/creating channels
848 # - CULLLIST - debug messages related to issues with removing users
849 # - RESOLVER - DNS related debug messages
850 # - CONNECTCLASS - Connection class debug messages
854 # If your server is producing a high levels of log messages you can also set the
855 # flush="[positive number]" attribute to specify how many log messages should be
856 # buffered before flushing to disk. You should probably not specify this unless
857 # you are having problems.
859 # The following log tag is highly default and uncustomised. It is recommended you
860 # sort out your own log tags. This is just here so you get some output.
