disrelay is a dead simple IRC<->Discord relay bot. It takes in IRC messages and
batches them for discord and then relays every individual line in a Discord message
as an IRC line.
This application follows the 12 factor rules of configuration.
All configuration for disrelay is done in the form of environment variables.
For convenience, a helper library called godotenv will automagically load all
of the shell-style KEY=value pairs defined in .env of the current working
directory when the program starts if it exists. Usage is simple: create a file
named .env that contains the following key->value pairs:
DISCORD_TOKEN=<discord token here>
CHANNEL_MAP=<discord channel id>:<irc channel name without hash>,269624426272653312:geek
IRC_NICK=Ryleth
IRC_USER=flagatn
IRC_SERVER=irc.ponychat.net:6697
IRC_PASS=hunter2
IRC_TLS=trueBelow each variable here gets explained in detail:
Specifies the Discord bot token that disrelay should use when authenticating
with the Discord bot API.
This setting is required.
Specifies the mapping of Discord channel IDs to irc channel names WITHOUT the leading hash. An example is:
CHANNEL_MAP=269624426272653312:geek
This setting is required.
Specifies the nickname that will be used when disrelay connects to an IRC server.
This setting is required.
Specifies the username that will be used when disrelay connects to an IRC server.
If unset, the default IRC username will be ad.
Specifies the irc server (host+port) that disrelay will connect to.
If unset, the default IRC server will be 127.0.0.1:6667.
Specifies the server password (PASS, see this section of the RFC) that will be used when disrelay connects to an IRC server.
This setting is not required, not setting it is fine.
If set to true, disrelay will use TLS connections to connect to IRC servers.
If unset, the default value is false for convenience of local testing.
Download the binaries for your favorite OS and put your .env file somewhere,
then run disrelay in a restart loop such as:
# ~/prefix/disrelay/run: mode 744
while true
do
./disrelay
sleep 2 # just to be sure
done$ docker run -d --name disrelay --env-file .env xena/disrelay:1.2$ docker service create --name disrelay --env-file .env xena/disrelay:1.2Copyright (c) 2017 Christine Dodrill <[email protected]>
