+# This is the default config file for Ergo.
+# It contains recommended defaults for all settings, including some behaviors
+# that differ from conventional ircds. See conventional.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 read the whole 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.

+        # 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":
+        #     tls:
+        #         cert: fullchain.pem
+        #         key: privkey.pem
+        #         # 'proxy' should typically be false. It's only for Kubernetes-style load
+        #         # balancing that does not terminate TLS, but sends an initial PROXY line
+        #         # in plaintext.

+        # 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:

+
+    # 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
