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 gossip replication between nodes
Nodes run anti-entropy over a TCP link: each advertises its version
vector, the peer replies with the log entries it lacks, and ingest is
idempotent so re-delivery and reconnect after a split both converge.
The engine is shared behind a mutex; config gains [gossip] and [[peer]].

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.
