In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing InspIRCd on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS, step-by-step.
Before we start, let’s make sure that you have the following prerequisites:
To install InspIRCd, you will first need to install some required packages, including GCC, make, and OpenSSL. To do so, open the terminal and type:
sudo dnf install -y gcc make openssl openssl-devel
You can download the latest version of InspIRCd from their website. Once you have downloaded the archive, extract it using the following command:
tar zxvf inspircd-*.tar.gz
Change the directory to the newly extracted folder by running:
cd inspircd-*
Next, we will configure InspIRCd according to your needs. Copy the default configuration file by running:
cp docs/conf/examples/example.conf.inspircd ./
You can then edit the configuration file using any text editor:
nano example.conf.inspircd
This is where you can specify some basic information about your server such as the server name, operator information, and listen ports.
If you have any trouble configuring InspIRCd, refer to the InspIRCd documentation.
Now we can compile and install InspIRCd. Use the following command to compile and install InspIRCd:
make
sudo make install
Finally, start InspIRCd with the following command:
sudo inspircd start
This should successfully start the IRC daemon.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed InspIRCd on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS. You can now configure InspIRCd to your needs and start using it.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
