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. #

136 # module, server ports will NOT work! #
139 # address: IP address to bind to if the box that you are hosting
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.

208 # This is where you can configure which connections are allowed #
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.
230 # connect:reason is the message that users will see if they match a deny block
231 <connect deny="3ffe::0/32" reason="The 6bone address space is deprecated">
234 # name: Name to use for this connect block. Mainly used for

292 # This setting only has effect when the cgiirc module is loaded.
295 # limit: How many users are allowed in this class

342 # pingfreq: How often the server tries to ping connecting clients.
345 # hardsendq: maximum amount of data allowed in a client's send queue

356 # recvq: amount of data allowed in a client's queue before they are dropped.
357 # Entering "8K" is equivalent to "8192", see above.
360 # threshold: This specifies the amount of command penalty a user is allowed to have
361 # before being quit or fakelagged due to flood. Normal commands have a penalty of 1,
362 # ones such as /OPER have penalties up to 10.
364 # If you are not using fakelag, this should be at least 20 to avoid excess flood kills
365 # from processing some commands.
368 # commandrate: This specifies the maximum rate that commands can be processed.

372 # Units are millicommands per second, so 1000 means one line per second.
375 # fakelag: Use fakelag instead of killing users for excessive flood
377 # Fake lag stops command processing for a user when a flood is detected rather than
378 # immediately killing them; their commands are held in the recvq and processed later

380 # quit with "RecvQ exceeded" rather than "Excess Flood".

390 # in this class. This can save a lot of resources on very busy servers.

784 # This configuration tag defines the maximum sizes of various types #

786 # maximum length of a channel. Note that with the exception of the #
787 # identmax value all values given here are the exact values you would #

790 # defined to account for a null terminator on the end of the text. #
792 # These values should match network-wide otherwise issues will occur. #

796 # near their defaults (or lower). #

842 # Logging is covered with the <log> tag, which you may use to change
843 # the behaviour of the logging of the IRCd.
845 # An example log tag would be:
846 # <log method="file" type="OPER" level="default" target="opers.log">
847 # which would log all information on /oper (failed and successful) to
848 # a file called opers.log.
850 # There are many different types which may be used, and modules may
851 # generate their own. A list of useful types:
852 # - USERS - information relating to user connection and disconnection
853 # - OPER - succesful and failed oper attempts
854 # - KILL - kill related messages
855 # - snomask - server notices (*all* snomasks will be logged)
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.
885 # The following log tag is highly default and uncustomised. It is recommended you
