1# [ngIRCd](https://ngircd.barton.de) - Internet Relay Chat Server
2
3## Introduction
4
5*ngIRCd* is a free, portable and lightweight *Internet Relay Chat* ([IRC])
6server for small or private networks, developed under the terms of the GNU
7General Public License ([GPL]); please see the file `COPYING` for licensing
8information.
9
10The server is quite easy to configure, can handle dynamic IP addresses, and
11optionally supports IDENT, IPv6 connections, SSL-protected links, and PAM for
12user authentication as well as character set conversion for legacy clients. The
13server has been written from scratch and is not based on the "forefather", the
14daemon of the IRCNet.
15
16The name ngIRCd means *next-generation IRC daemon*, which is a little bit
17exaggerated: *lightweight Internet Relay Chat server* most probably would have
18been a better name :-)
19
20Please see the `INSTALL.md` document for installation and upgrade information,
21online available here: <https://ngircd.barton.de/doc/INSTALL.md>!
22
23## Status
24
25ngIRCd should be quite feature-complete and stable to be used as a daemon in
26real-world IRC networks.
27
28It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviors of the
29original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
30specified by the RFCs that are used by existing clients.
31
32## Features (or: why use ngIRCd?)
33
34- Well arranged (lean) configuration file.
35- Simple to build, install, configure, and maintain.
36- Supports IPv6 and SSL.
37- Can use PAM for user authentication.
38- Lots of popular user and channel modes are implemented.
39- Supports "cloaking" of users.
40- No problems with servers that have dynamic IP addresses.
41- Freely available, modern, portable and tidy C source.
42- Wide field of supported platforms, including AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX,
43 IRIX, Linux, macOS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.
44- ngIRCd is being actively developed since 2001.
