# Irker IRC Gateway
|
||
|
|
||
|
GitLab provides a way to push update messages to an Irker server. When
|
||
|
configured, pushes to a project will trigger the service to send data directly
|
||
|
to the Irker server.
|
||
|
|
||
|
See the project homepage for further info: https://gitlab.com/esr/irker
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Needed setup
|
||
|
|
||
|
You will first need an Irker daemon. You can download the Irker code from its
|
||
|
repository on https://gitlab.com/esr/irker:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
git clone https://gitlab.com/esr/irker.git
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Once you have downloaded the code, you can run the python script named `irkerd`.
|
||
|
This script is the gateway script, it acts both as an IRC client, for sending
|
||
|
messages to an IRC server obviously, and as a TCP server, for receiving messages
|
||
|
from the GitLab service.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the Irker server runs on the same machine, you are done. If not, you will
|
||
|
need to follow the firsts steps of the next section.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Complete these steps in GitLab:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. Navigate to the project you want to configure for notifications.
|
||
|
1. Select "Settings" in the top navigation.
|
||
|
1. Select "Services" in the left navigation.
|
||
|
1. Click "Irker".
|
||
|
1. Select the "Active" checkbox.
|
||
|
1. Enter the server host address where `irkerd` runs (defaults to `localhost`)
|
||
|
in the `Server host` field on the Web page
|
||
|
1. Enter the server port of `irkerd` (e.g. defaults to 6659) in the
|
||
|
`Server port` field on the Web page.
|
||
|
1. Optional: if `Default IRC URI` is set, it has to be in the format
|
||
|
`irc[s]://domain.name` and will be prepend to each and every channel provided
|
||
|
by the user which is not a full URI.
|
||
|
1. Specify the recipients (e.g. #channel1, user1, etc.)
|
||
|
1. Save or optionally click "Test Settings".
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Note on Irker recipients
|
||
|
|
||
|
Irker accepts channel names of the form `chan` and `#chan`, both for the
|
||
|
`#chan` channel. If you want to send messages in query, you will need to add
|
||
|
`,isnick` after the channel name, in this form: `Aorimn,isnick`. In this latter
|
||
|
case, `Aorimn` is treated as a nick and no more as a channel name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Irker can also join password-protected channels. Users need to append
|
||
|
`?key=thesecretpassword` to the chan name.
