This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing UnrealIRCd on Void Linux.
Before you begin, make sure that you have a Void Linux system set up with Internet access and the root user credentials.
UnrealIRCd requires several dependencies to be installed on the system. To install the dependencies, open a terminal and run the following command:
xbps-install -S openssl-devel gnutls-devel libcurl-devel libz-devel libgeoip-devel
This command will install the necessary dependencies for UnrealIRCd.
Download the latest version of UnrealIRCd from their official website. You can download the package by running the following command:
wget https://www.unrealircd.org/downloads/unrealircd-latest.tar.gz
This command will download the latest version of UnrealIRCd to your current directory.
Once the package is downloaded, extract it by running the following command:
tar -zxvf unrealircd-latest.tar.gz
This command will extract the package to a new directory called unrealircd.
Change your current directory to unrealircd by running the following command:
cd unrealircd
Next, run the following commands to build and install UnrealIRCd:
./Config
make
make install
Once installation is complete, you need to configure UnrealIRCd. To configure the IRC server, run the following command:
unrealircd start
This will generate a default configuration file called unrealircd.conf. Open this file with your preferred text editor and make any necessary changes to the default settings.
Once you have made any changes, save the file and run the following command to start UnrealIRCd:
unrealircd start
Congratulations! You have successfully installed and configured UnrealIRCd on your Void Linux system.
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!
