-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ergo is a modern IRC server written in Go. Its core design principles are:

* Being simple to set up and use

* Combining the features of an ircd, a services framework, and a bouncer:

  * Integrated account management

  * History storage

  * Bouncer functionality

* Bleeding-edge IRCv3 support

* High customizability via a rehashable (i.e., reloadable at runtime) YAML config

=== Installing ===

Copy the example config file to ircd.yaml with a command like:

    $ cp default.yaml ircd.yaml

Modify the config file as needed (the recommendations at the top may be helpful).

To generate passwords for opers and connect passwords, you can use this command:

    $ ./ergo genpasswd

If you need to generate self-signed TLS certificates, use this command:

    $ ./ergo mkcerts

You are now ready to start Ergo!

    $ ./ergo run

For further instructions, consult the manual. A copy of the manual should be

included in your release under `docs/MANUAL.md`. Or you can view it on the

Web: https://ergo.chat/manual.html

=== Updating ===

If you're updating from a previous version of Ergo, check out the CHANGELOG for a list

of important changes you'll want to take a look at. The change log details config changes,

fixes, new features and anything else you'll want to be aware of!
