UnrealIRCd is the most popular IRC server software on the planet with 43% market share (at the time of this writing).

This article will show you how to setup a basic IRC server on Debian 9. I say basic because I'm omitting (or removing) a number of the advanced features such as networking multiple servers and banning IP addresses.

Setup the Environment

  1. login as a user capable of running sudo
  2. run sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade to bring your system up-to-date
  3. run sudo adduser ircd to create the UnrealIRCd's user
  4. run sudo adduser ircd sudo to add the ircd user to the sudo group (we'll remove this privilege at the end)
