iris.conf.example

# Iris configuration file
#
# This is in a format similar to ini files and similar.
# Lines beginning with # are comments.
#
# Note that some changes to this configuration file require re-running
# compile.py, others require restarting Iris, and some may require both.
# Individual blocks are labeled with their requirements.
#
# Be warned that some settings are, via inclusion in the frontend, exposed
# to users. These blocks are labeled.



# EXECUTION OPTIONS
# These options set parameters to Iris startup and execution.
# They require a backend restart to change.
[execution]

# ARGS: These arguments will be used as if Iris was run directly with
# with them, see run.py --help for a list of options.
# Set empty for no options.
args: -n -p 3989

# SYSLOG ADDR: Used in conjunction with util/syslog.py and -s option.
# This option specifies the address that syslog datagrams will be sent
# to. If enabled, set syslog_port, too.
syslog_addr:

# SYSLOG PORT: Sets the port to send syslog datagrams to, if syslog_addr is set.

# These options provide the needed information for the backend to connect to
# the IRC server and perform registration.
# They require a backend restart to change.
[irc]

server: irc.myserver.com

# PORT: Port of IRC server to connect to.

# WEBIRC MODE: This option controls how the IP/hostname of the
# connecting browser will be sent to IRC. If set, the IRC server may
# be able to transparently display users of Iris as from their
# original hosts, rather than as coming from the webclient's IP.
# Possible values include:
# webirc: Use WEBIRC type blocks, with an IRCD configuration of
#   the following style:
#
#   cgiirc: {
#     type webirc;
#     hostname <qwebirc's ip address>;
#     password <password>;
#   };
#
#   You must set webirc_password to be the same as <password>.
#
# realname: Disables WEBIRC.
#   Sends the IP and hostname in the realname field in the format
#   <hostname>/<ip> - <normal realname>, convenient for human reading.
#
# <left empty>: Disables WEBIRC.
#   Sends the IP in the realname field, overriding the REALNAME option.
webirc_mode:

# WEBIRC PASSWORD: Used for webirc mode "webirc", see webirc_mode option
# documentation.
