Tons of updates to fix migration to new server.
# 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.

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":
# 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.
# proxy: false
# Example of a Unix domain socket for proxying:
"/var/ergo/socket":
# 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.
