This version is still work in progress!
Ketsune "Gerald" Link, alias Kegelink, is a bot that's sole purpose was to connect my IRC-pal, Kegetys, to Discord. Now I've rewritten it in TypeScript for everyone's enjoyment.
- Your own server with Node.js (with npm) installed.
- A new bot initialized in Discord's developers portal.
- Invite the bot to your server. The bot requires the following permissions:
send messagesandadd reactions.
- Download the most recent release package and unzip it.
- Inside the unzipped folder, update the
.envfile with your own credentials and settings.APP_IDis the bot's id,APP_TOKENis the bot's token.OWNER_IDis for example your own Discord id. - Run
npm install --production. After that, you can start the bot withnode kegelink. Make sure the console states that both Discord and IRC are connected. If not, check your connection settings.
- In Discord type
@botsname helpfor available commands. Read the descriptions carefully.
- You don't have to make filters public. You can give them to the bot via a private channel.
- Only the owner is able to give commands, for security reasons.
- Download and install unrealircd (TLS/SSL needs to be enabled in unrealircd 5, use the installer to create a self-signed certs.)
- Download test server -configs
- Place the downloaded configs to
...\UnrealIRCd 5\conf - Start the UnrealIRCd server (via start menu or alike)
- Make sure you have a
.dev.envfile set. Use the.envfile as a template.
The example UnrealIRCd config starts the server with the following settings:
ip: 127.0.0.1
port: 6667
password: password
Here's an example for the .dev.env:
