echo services
echo services is a Rust services package that links to the echoIRCd daemon over the S2S protocol as a linked services server — it is not built into the daemon. State is event-sourced: every change is an appended event, replayed to rebuild the database.
Running
echo services is its own binary with its own configuration:
echo config.toml
Only [uplink] and [server] are required; everything else is optional. The daemon must U-line the
services server and name it as the SASL server — see Server links. For the
full configuration, see Running & config.
The services
The standard suite comes up by default; the enabled set is controlled by [modules] services.
| Service | Role |
|---|---|
| NickServ | Register and manage your nick/account; log in |
| ChanServ | Register and manage channels, access, modes, topics |
| OperServ | Network administration, bans/X-lines, SVS commands (operator) |
| MemoServ | Leave and read offline messages between accounts |
| HostServ | Virtual host (vhost) requests, offers, and assignment |
| BotServ | Channel bots that speak, moderate, and auto-respond |
| GroupServ | Named account groups (!group) for access lists |
| StatServ | Network and per-channel activity statistics |
| InfoServ | Public and operator bulletins / news |
| ReportServ | User abuse reports queued for staff |
| HelpServ | User help-desk ticket queue |
| DiceServ | Dice-expression rolling and calculation |
| DictServ | DICT-protocol dictionary/thesaurus lookups (opt-in) |
| GameServ | Turn-based games (tic-tac-toe, Connect Four, chess) with ranked stats |
| ChanFix | Restore ops to a channel's trusted regulars |
| DebugServ | Internal diagnostic feed of services activity |
The last ten are covered on the other services page. echo services also runs a native anti-abuse engine.
Accounts & SASL
Registration and login (including key-based ECDSA login) are covered in Accounts & SASL; SASL is relayed from the daemon to services mechanism-agnostically, so new mechanisms work without daemon changes.
