# This is the default config file for Ergo.
# It contains recommended defaults for all settings, including some behaviors
# that differ from conventional ircd+services setups. See traditional.yaml
# for a config with more "mainstream" behavior.
#
# If you are setting up a new Ergo server, you should copy this file
# to a new one named 'ircd.yaml', then look through the file to see which
# settings you want to customize. If you don't understand a setting, or
# aren't sure what behavior you want, most of the defaults are fine
# to start with (you can change them later, even on a running server).
# However, there are a few that you should probably change up front:
# 1. network.name (a human-readable name that identifies your network,
#    no spaces or special characters) and server.name (consider using the
#    domain name of your server)
# 2. if you have valid TLS certificates (for example, from letsencrypt.org),
#    you should enable them in server.listeners in place of the default
#    self-signed certificates
# 3. the operator password in the 'opers' section
# 4. by default, message history is enabled, using in-memory history storage
#    and with messages expiring after 7 days. depending on your needs, you may
#    want to disable history entirely, remove the expiration time, switch to
#    persistent history stored in MySQL, or do something else entirely. See
#    the 'history' section of the config.

    # addresses to listen on
    listeners:
        # The standard plaintext port for IRC is 6667. Allowing plaintext over the
        # public Internet poses serious security and privacy issues. Accordingly,
        # we recommend using plaintext only on local (loopback) interfaces:
        # "127.0.0.1:6667": # (loopback ipv4, localhost-only)
        # "[::1]:6667":     # (loopback ipv6, localhost-only)
        # If you need to serve plaintext on public interfaces, comment out the above
        # two lines and uncomment the line below (which listens on all interfaces):
        # ":6667":
        # Alternately, if you have a TLS certificate issued by a recognized CA,
        # you can configure port 6667 as an STS-only listener that only serves
        # "redirects" to the TLS port, but doesn't allow chat. See the manual
        # for details.

        # The standard SSL/TLS port for IRC is 6697. This will listen on all interfaces:
        ":6697":
            # this is a standard TLS configuration with a single certificate;
            # see the manual for instructions on how to configure SNI
            tls:
                cert: /etc/letsencrypt/live/irc.terminaldweller.com/fullchain.pem
                key: /etc/letsencrypt/live/irc.terminaldweller.com/privkey.pem
            # 'proxy' should typically be false. It's for cloud load balancers that
            # always send a PROXY protocol header ahead of the connection. See the
            # manual ("Reverse proxies") for more details.
            proxy: false

        # "/tmp/ergo_sock":

        # Example of a Tor listener: any connection that comes in on this listener will
        # be considered a Tor connection. It is strongly recommended that this listener
        # *not* be on a public interface --- it should be on 127.0.0.0/8 or unix domain:
        # "/hidden_service_sockets/ergo_tor_sock":
        #     tor: true

        # Example of a WebSocket listener:
        # ":8097":
        #     websocket: true
        #     tls:
        #         cert: fullchain.pem
        #         key: privkey.pem

    # sets the permissions for Unix listen sockets. on a typical Linux system,
    # the default is 0775 or 0755, which prevents other users/groups from connecting
    # to the socket. With 0777, it behaves like a normal TCP socket
    # where anyone can connect.
    unix-bind-mode: 0777

    # configure the behavior of Tor listeners (ignored if you didn't enable any):
    tor-listeners:
        # if this is true, connections from Tor must authenticate with SASL
        require-sasl: false

        # what hostname should be displayed for Tor connections?
        vhost: "tor-network.onion"

        # allow at most this many connections at once (0 for no limit):
        max-connections: 64

        # connection throttling (limit how many connection attempts are allowed at once):
        throttle-duration: 10m
        # set to 0 to disable throttling:
        max-connections-per-duration: 64

        # advertise to connecting users that the STS policy they have saved is no longer valid
        enabled: true

        # how long clients should be forced to use TLS for.
        # setting this to a too-long time will mean bad things if you later remove your TLS.
        # the default duration below is 1 month, 2 days and 5 minutes.
        duration: 1mo2d5m

        # This prevents malicious websites from making their visitors connect to your
