See the [security guide](security.md) to encrypt everything.\n\n## How it works\n\nAn etcdircd server communicates with other etcdircd servers through etcd. Each server receives messages by watching on etcd keys; network disconnection is tolerated by resuming the watches. If an etcdircd server permanently loses contact with etcd, its resources are automatically released through session expiration. \n\nUser information is stored under `/user/` with a given `\u003cnick\u003e`. The key `/user/ctl/\u003cnick\u003e` holds user metadata including modes, name, and joined channels. The key `/user/msg/\u003cnick\u003e` forwards IRC messages to `\u003cnick\u003e`'s connection. For example, writing a `PRIVMSG` message to `/user/msg/\u003cnick\u003e` will send a private message to `\u003cnick\u003e`.\n\nChannel information is similar; its keys are prefixed with `/chan/` and take a given `\u003cchannel\u003e`. The key `/chan/ctl/\u003cchannel\u003e` holds metadata such as the channel topic. The key `/chan/msg/\u003cnick\u003e` forwards IRC messages to all users on the channel. To notify channels when users disconnect, joined users are written to per-server keys `/chan/nicks/\u003cchannel\u003e/\u003csession\u003e`; when the session expires, the key deletion event signals server loss and all the server's users are removed from the channel.\n\n## Limitations\n\netcdircd is still under active development. It's enough to chat, but not much else!\n\netcd backend encryption is missing:\n\n* Key revocation\n* Key rotation (2^32 messages before risking repeat IV)\n* Replay attack protection\n* Certificates other than 4096-bit RSA\n* Physical attestation\n\nThe irc frontend:\n\n* Many IRC commands and modes\n* Services\n* Server linking\n\n## Contact\n\nUse the [issue tracker](https://github.com/heyitsanthony/etcdircd/issues)\n\nOr try the etcd channel on freenode.\n\n## License\n\netcdircd is under the AGPLv3 license. See [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fheyitsanthony%2Fetcdircd","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fheyitsanthony%2Fetcdircd","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fheyitsanthony%2Fetcdircd/lists"}
