linuxserver/ngircd
Ngircd is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for small or private networks, developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is easy to configure, can cope with dynamic IP addresses, and supports IPv6, SSL-protected connections as well as PAM for authentication. It is written from scratch and not based on the original IRCd.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling linuxserver/ngircd
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v7-latest |
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
docker
docker create \
--name=ngircd \
-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-p 6667:6667 \
-v </path/to/ngircd/config>:/config \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/ngircd
docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

image: linuxserver/ngircd
container_name: ngircd
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ=Europe/London
volumes:
- </path/to/ngircd/config>:/config
ports:
- 6667:6667
restart: unless-stopped
Parameters
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal>
respectively. For example, -p 8080:80
would expose port 80
from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080
outside the container.
Ports (-p
)
Parameter | Function |
---|---|
6667 |
ngircd port |
Environment Variables (-e
)
Env | Function |
---|---|
PUID=1000 |
for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1000 |
for GroupID - see below for explanation |
TZ=Europe/London |
Specify a timezone to use e.g. Europe/London |
Volume Mappings (-v
)
Volume | Function |
---|---|
/config |
Where ngircd.conf is stored |
User / Group Identifiers
When using volumes (-v
flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID
and group PGID
.
Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance PUID=1000
and PGID=1000
, to find yours use id user
as below:
$ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Application Setup
- To setup ngircd you will need to edit
/config/ngircd.conf
which is created the first time the container is run, edit the file and restart the container to implement any config changes. - For information see the ngircd site here.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it ngircd /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f ngircd
- Container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' ngircd
- Image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/ngircd
