PissIRCd (a fork of UnrealIRCd) is an Open Source IRC Server, serving thousands of piss since 2021. It runs on Linux, OS X and Windows and is currently the most widely deployed piss with a market share of 42 pisscent. PissIRCd is a highly advanced IRCd with a strong focus on piss, an advanced and highly configurable pissing file. Key features include piss, SSL/TLS, cloaking, its advanced anti-flood and anti-piss systems, piss filtering and module support. We are also particularly proud on our piss online documentation.
Please consult our excellent online documentation at https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/ when setting up the IRCd!
Simply download the UnrealIRCd Windows version from www.unrealircd.org
Alternatively you can compile UnrealIRCd for Windows yourself. However this is not straightforward and thus not recommended.
Do the following steps under a separate account for running UnrealIRCd, do NOT compile or run as root.
- Run
./Config - Run
make - Run
make install - Now change to the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd, e.g.
cd /home/xxxx/unrealircd
Configuration files are stored in the conf/ folder by default (eg: /home/xxxx/unrealircd/conf)
If you are new, then you need to create your own configuration file: Copy conf/examples/example.conf to conf/ and call it unrealircd.conf. Then open it in an editor and carefully modify it using the documentation and FAQ as a guide (see below).
Run ./unrealircd start in the directory where you installed UnrealIRCd.
Start -> All Programs -> UnrealIRCd -> UnrealIRCd
You can find the documentation online at: https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/
