IRC services for InspIRCd networks, written in Rust. NickServ, ChanServ, and a dozen more, backed by an append-only event log instead of a database. https://echo.dev.tronic.pro

Add the SASL PLAIN verification exchange
fedserv now handles the SASL exchange an ircd relays over ENCAP (modes H/S/C/D):
on PLAIN it answers the empty challenge, decodes the client payload, and verifies
the credentials against the account store, replying D S or D F. Wiring the
account login on success and advertising the mechanism list to the ircd are the
remaining integration steps.

fedserv

A federated IRC services daemon in Rust. Protocol-agnostic core, InspIRCd link first.

Clean-room — inspired by the ideas behind modern event-log/gossip services, not derived from any project's source.

Design

  • proto/ — the ircd link layer. A Protocol trait maps raw server-to-server lines to/from a normalized NetEvent/NetAction model. The engine never touches a raw line, so a new ircd = one new module. InspIRCd is the first.
  • engine/ — the services engine: live network state, an EventLog (every persistent change is an Event; state is a fold over the log — this is what makes replicating across nodes a later addition, not a rewrite), and the Service trait.
  • services/ — the pseudo-clients: NickServ first, then ChanServ / OperServ / …

Run

cp config.example.toml config.toml   # edit uplink + link password
cargo run -- config.toml

Status

Early scaffold: links to an InspIRCd uplink and introduces NickServ. Burst/mode handling and account persistence are next.
