# charybdis [](https://travis-ci.org/charybdis-ircd/charybdis) [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/kaniini/charybdis/branch/master)

|
|
|
Charybdis is an IRCv3 server designed to be highly scalable. It implements IRCv3.1 and some parts of IRCv3.2.
|
|
|
|
It is meant to be used with an IRCv3-capable services implementation such as [Atheme][atheme] or [Anope][anope].

# necessary requirements
|
|
|
|
* A supported platform
|
|
* A working dynamic load library.
|
|
* A working lex. Solaris /usr/ccs/bin/lex appears to be broken, on this system flex should be used.
|
|
|
|
# building from git
|
|
|
|
We no longer supply a prebuilt configure script in git, due to use of automake and libtool causing problems.
|
|
You will need to run `autogen.sh` to build the autotools files prior to building charybdis.
|
|
|
|
# feature specific requirements
|
|
|
|
* For SSL/TLS client and server connections, one of:
|
|
|
|
* OpenSSL 1.0 or newer
|
|
* LibreSSL
|
|
* mbedTLS
|
|
* GnuTLS
|
|
|
|
* For certificate-based oper CHALLENGE, OpenSSL 1.0 or newer.
|
|
(Using CHALLENGE is not recommended for new deployments, so if you want to use a different TLS library,
|
|
feel free.)
|
|
|
|
* For ECDHE, OpenSSL 1.0.0 or newer is required. RHEL/Fedora and derivatives like CentOS
|
|
will need to compile OpenSSL from source, as ECC/ECDHE-functionality is removed from
|
|
the OpenSSL package in these distributions.

# tips
|
|
|
|
* To report bugs in charybdis, visit us at irc.freenode.net #charybdis
|
|
|
|
* Please read doc/index.txt to get an overview of the current documentation.
|
|
|
|
* The files, /etc/services, /etc/protocols, and /etc/resolv.conf, SHOULD be
|
|
readable by the user running the server in order for ircd to start with
|
|
the correct settings. If these files are wrong, charybdis will try to use
|
|
127.0.0.1 for a resolver as a last-ditch effort.
|
|
|
|
* FREEBSD USERS: if you are compiling with ipv6 you may experience
|
|
problems with ipv4 due to the way the socket code is written. To
|
|
fix this you must: "sysctl net.inet6.ip6.v6only=0"
|
|
|
|
* SOLARIS USERS: this code appears to tickle a bug in older gcc and
|
|
egcs ONLY on 64-bit Solaris7. gcc-2.95 and SunPro C on 64bit should
|
|
work fine, and any gcc or SunPro compiled on 32bit.
|
|
|
|
* SUPPORTED PLATFORMS: this code should compile without any warnings on:
|
|
|
|
* FreeBSD 10
|
|
* Gentoo & Gentoo Hardened ~x86/~amd64/~fbsd
|
|
* RHEL 6 / 7
|
|
* Debian Jessie
|
|
* OpenSuSE 11/12
|
|
* OpenSolaris 2008.x?
|
|
* Solaris 10 sparc.
|
|
|
|
Please let us know if you find otherwise. It may work on other platforms, but this is not guaranteed.
|
|
|
|
* Please read NEWS for information about what is in this release.
