Ergo (formerly Oragono) is a modern IRC server written in Go. |
{% include header.html %}
Ergo (formerly Oragono) 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, and bouncer functionality)
- Bleeding-edge IRCv3 support, suitable for use as an IRCv3 reference implementation
- Highly customizable via a rehashable (i.e., reloadable at runtime) YAML config
Other interesting features of Ergo include:
- Advanced internationalization support, including UTF-8 nicknames and channel names
- Support for running as a Tor onion service ("hidden service")
