IRCD Options Question

NyteBlade · none Joined: 24 Nov 2005 Posts: 2

I'm looking for an IRCD that would do well for a small network. I've looked at Unreal, but it seems like everyone and their brother is using Unreal, and I've looked at something like IRCu. The two IRCDs seem to be complete opposites, with Unreal having every feature ever imaginable and being IRC at it's basics.

I was wondering if there were any IRCDs that fell into the middle of this spectrum?

Thanks!

try plexus ircd you can run anope and neostats on it the only things you cant do on plexus is oper override but you can op in channels with operserv as i do on my network "irc.stablenode.net" i have everything up and running perfectly its fast and have a global limitserv bot setting channel limits

p.s irc.stablenode are looking for links this is a small network but has everything that a admin need anope, neostats and bopm.

The question you should be asking is What features do you want in the ircd

One comparsion chart at

http://www.inspircd.org/wiki/Comparison_Of_Features

Kinda spells out what each ircd does different from each other.. its really up to you to find the one that does what you want

I actually used bahamut for quite awhile, but bahamut doesn't seem to be in active development now. I liked the level of features in bahamut, but finding a compareable IRCD still in active development would be nice Very Happy

NeoStats doesn't officially support PlexusIRCd currently, there is tentative support for it in NeoStats 3 a3-dev but it hasn't been released yet

I strongly recommend bahamut Wink

They are still on development, but a little slow.

You could also try the ViagraIRCD: http://www.viagraircd.com/index.php

which is based by bahamut.

I will agree Bahamut is rock solid.

But it has absolutely no extras what so ever and the coders are very rude about adding in new things. They will not add in new things unless the administrators on dalnet want it. Now im not saying you need all the extra crap like unreal but bahamut is strictly plain jane and i don't like the coders at all.

I recommend UltimateIRCd.

There's also charybdis-ircd... http://www.nenolod.net/code/charybdis/.

It's an atheme.org project, though -- so it's designed to be integrated with Atheme services.

Featureset-wise, it's more on the IRCu side of things, but contains quite a few features oriented towards channel administration, i.e. join throttle, quiet masks, conference/event-oriented features (i.e. channel mode +z; relaxed moderation -- all messages affected by +m are sent to channel staff), services protection, aliases, and custom vhosts.

There's some beta-level written documentation available at http://viewsvn.atheme.org/~nenolod/charybdis-oper-guide .
