Oragono is a modern, experimental IRC server written in Go. It’s designed to be simple to setup and use, and it includes features such as UTF-8 nicks / channel names, client accounts with SASL, and other assorted IRCv3 support.
Oragono is a fork of the Ergonomadic IRC daemon <3
This project adheres to Semantic Versioning. For the purposes of versioning, we consider the “public API” to refer to the configuration files, CLI interface and database format.

Note: This installation will give you unsigned certificates suitable for testing purposes. For real crets, look into Let’s Encrypt!
The default config file oragono.yaml
helps walk you through what each option means and changes. The configuration’s intended to be sparse, so if there are options missing it’s either because that feature isn’t written/configurable yet or because we don’t think it should be configurable.
By default, logs are stored in the file ircd.log
. The configuration format of logs is designed to be easily pluggable, and is inspired by the logging config provided by InspIRCd.
Passwords (for both PASS
and oper logins) are stored using bcrypt. To generate encrypted strings for use in the config, use the genpasswd
subcommand as such:
oragono genpasswd
With this, you receive a blob of text which you can plug into your configuration file.
After this, running the server is easy! Simply run the below command and you should see the relevant startup information pop up.
oragono run
