This manual will guide you step-by step on how to compile, configure and link your server to Pissnet.
Step 1: Preparing your system
- We will be building the IRCd from source, so of course you will need a few tools, like:
git,gcc, etc.
* On Ubuntu, Debian and the like, you can install these with apt install git build-essential python3
- It is usually a good idea to run UnrealIRCd on it's own user. You can create a
ircduser withadduser --disabled-password --shell /bin/bash --gecos "User" ircd - Switch to the new ircd user with
sudo -iu ircd
Step 2: Downloading and building the IRCd
We will download PissIRCd, which is a fork of UnrealIRCd with a few modules and patches that are useful for pissnet.
- Get the PissIRCd source code with
git clone https://github.com/pissnet/pissircd - Configure it for compilation with
cd pissircd && ./Config - The script will ask you a few questions. It is recommended to pick the defaults for everything, so you can just hit enter on every question.
- After you finish configuring, you can now compile and install PissIRCd with
make && make install
Step 3: Configuring your brand new IRCd
