About
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
Rosella is a small ircd (Internet Relay Chat Daemon).
|
2013-08-24 08:14:44 +00:00
|
|
|
It partially implements RFC1459, but will never be fully compliant.
|
2013-08-23 01:03:37 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rosella is intended to provide a portable, light-weight, near-zero-conf
|
|
|
|
|
ircd capable of handling many simultaneous connections, whilst providing
|
|
|
|
|
as much privacy for its users as possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rosella is *not* production ready, or recommended for large-scale usage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An x.509 key and certificate are required to open a TLS listener.
|
|
|
|
|
Proper key handling and certificate checking is the responsibility of the
|
|
|
|
|
users. Rosella cannot protect you from stupidity or untrustworthy CA's.

Usage
|
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
|
Compilation required Go 1.1.2 or later. Just run `make` to compile Rosella.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Command line options can be found by running `ircd -h`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###x.509 Certificate###
|
|
|
|
|
Rosella expects you to provide a valid x.509 certificate and private key.
|
|
|
|
|
You can generate these yourself with openssl, or obtain one from a certificate
|
|
|
|
|
authority you trust.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
###Auth File###
|
|
|
|
|
The auth file provides a list of usernames and hashed passwords that the /OPER
|
|
|
|
|
command will accept. The format is one username and password pair per line.
|
|
|
|
|
Lines starting with a `#` are ignored as comments, as are blank lines. The
|
|
|
|
|
password is hashed with SHA1. Username and password are placed on the same
|
|
|
|
|
line and separated by a single space, as such:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#This line is a comment
|
|
|
|
|
username1 sha1_hashed_password
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#Another comment, blank lines are ignored
|
|
|
|
|
username2 sha1_hashed_password
|
|
|
|
|
username3 sha1_hashed_password
|
|
|

Design Principles
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Rosella will not spy upon its users, or log them in any way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Rosella will not communicate with any users in plaintext.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Rosella will not provide any mechanism for identifying other users beyond
|
|
|
|
|
their nicknames.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-08-23 21:47:54 +00:00
|
|
|
* Rosella will not allow any user to spy upon any other user.
|

|
|
|
|
2013-08-23 21:47:54 +00:00
|
|
|
* Rosella's source code will be kept as easy to understand as possible.
