2024-02-05Doxygen: Update the footer linksAlexander Barton
2024-01-21Migrate info from INSTALL.md into doc/QuickStart.mdAlexander Barton
Move most information regarding configuring ngIRCd into the doc/QuickStart.md document, only describe building and installing ngIRCd in the INSTALL.md file. Don't duplicate content! Add references where this makes sense.
2024-01-21Use a default "IncludeDir" only when no config file was specifiedAlexander Barton
No longer use a default built-in value for the "IncludeDir" directive when a configuration file was explicitly specified on the command line using "--config"/"-f": This way no default include directory is scanned when a possibly non-default configuration file is used which (intentionally) did not specify an "IncludeDir" directive. With this patch you now can use "-f /dev/null" for checking all built-in defaults, regardless of any local configuration files in the default drop-in directory (which would have been read in until this change).
2024-01-21Add an introduction and generic info to doc/QuickStart.mdAlexander Barton
2024-01-21Make the description of the "Info" option more preciseAlexander Barton
The "Info" option in the "[Global]" section is optional (so comment it out in the sample configuration file) and set to the server software name and its version when not set (so add this information to the sample configuration file and the ngircd.conf(5) manual page).
2024-01-21Deduce a server name when not set in the configurationAlexander Barton
The server "Name" in the "[Global]" section of the configuration file is optional now: When not set (or empty), ngIRCd now tries to deduce a valid IRC server name from the local host name ("node name"), possibly adding a ".host" extension when the host name does not contain a dot (".") which is required in an IRC server name ("ID"). This new behaviour, with all configuration parameters now being optional, allows running ngIRCd without any configuration file at all.

2023-09-17Various fixes and enhancements for the "Autojoin" patchAlexander Barton
- Bring sample-ngircd.conf and ngircd.conf.5 description in line. - Fix configuration parsing, it always showed the 'Unknown variable "Autojoin"' error message, even when everything was perfectly fine. - And fix a build error (at least on macOS with Apple Clang 14): login.c:234:3: error: call to undeclared function 'IRC_JOIN'; ISO C99 and later do not support implicit function declarations [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] IRC_JOIN(Client, &Req); ^ The #include for the "irc.channel.h" header was missing! - Remove a unused variable that caused a compiler warning: login.c:222:12: warning: unused variable 'n' [-Wunused-variable] size_t i, n, channel_count = array_length(&Conf_Channels, sizeof(*conf_chan)); ^ - Add a explicit cast to fix a compiler warning: login.c:235:15: warning: assigning to 'char *' from 'const char[51]' discards qualifiers [-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers] Req.argv[0] = conf_chan->name; ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2020-06-11Don't send invalid CHANINFO commands when no key is setAlexander Barton
It can happen that a channel is +k, but no key is set: for example by misconfiguring a pre-defined channel. In this case, ngIRCd sent an invalud CHANINFO command ("CHANINFO #test +Pk 0 :'", note the unset key represented by the two spaces) to its peers. Fix this and enhance the CHANINFO documentation.

2019-01-03Fix documentation of MotdPhrase length (#254)shankari
The max length is actually 126 (< 127), since the check errors out if length >= 127. See <https://github.com/ngircd/ngircd/blob/master/src/ngircd/conf.c#L1487>. I didn't look through the history to see when the change happened. I just happened to find during a migration that my 140 character MOTD didn't work. Update sample configuration file as well as the man page.

2018-11-28Implement new configuration option "MaxPenaltyTime" (#251)Alexander Barton
This option configures the maximum penalty time increase in seconds, per penalty event. Set to -1 for no limit (the default), 0 to disable penalties altogether. ngIRCd doesn't use penalty increases higher than 2 seconds during normal operation, so values higher than 1 rarely make sense. Disabling (or reducing) penalties can greatly speed up "make check" runs for example, see below, but are mostly a debugging feature and normally not meant to be used on production systems! Some example timings running "make check" from my macOS workstation: - MaxPenaltyTime not set: 4:41,79s - "MaxPenaltyTime = 1": 3:14,71s - "MaxPenaltyTime = 0": 25,46s Closes #249.
