Step 1: Preparing your system

  • We will be building the IRCd from source, so of course you will need a few tools, like: git, gcc, etc.
    • On Ubuntu, Debian and the like, you can install these with apt install git build-essential python3 libssl-dev
  • It is usually a good idea to run UnrealIRCd on it's own user. You can create a ircd user with adduser --disabled-password --shell /bin/bash --gecos "User" ircd
  • Switch to the new ircd user with sudo -iu ircd

Step 2: Downloading and building the IRCd

We will download [1], which is a fork of UnrealIRCd with a few modules and patches that are useful for pissnet.

  • Get the IRCD source code with wget --trust-server-names https://www.unrealircd.org/downloads/unrealircd-latest.tar.gz
  • Configure it for compilation with ./Config
  • The script will ask you a few questions. It is recommended to pick the defaults for everything, so you can just hit enter on every question.
  • After you finish configuring, you can now compile and install Unrealircdd with make && make install
