Permanent Channels in Config

[nmaludy]

Hello,

I'm setting up an IRC server on a disconnected network using Ansible. I would like to setup a few channels with topics, modes, etc configured so that when users join it makes the experience easier.

I found the official-channel block documentation https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Official-channels_block and that seems to be what i want, except that it's deprecated and mentions setting +P on the channel to make it permanent. However, i wasn't able to figure out how to set a channel mode in the config file.

Can you help point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
Nick

Hello.

You'd need to first jon the channels you want to make permanent, set topic, channel modes, etc and then you need to "/mode #channel +P".

After that, those channels will keep their topic and modes.

You can also create a MOTD file (ircd.motd inside the conf folder) with the list of "official" channels, which will be displayed to users on connect.

MOTD content example:

Code: Select all
