Convos - Multiuser IRC proxy with web interface
0.1001
Convos is to a multi-user IRC Proxy, that also provides a easy to use Web interface. Feature list:
Always online
The backend server will keep you logged in and logs all the activity in your archive.
Archive
All chats will be logged and indexed, which allow you to search in earlier conversations.
Avatars
The chat contains profile pictures which can be retrieved from Facebook or from gravatar.com.
Include external resources
Links to images and video will be displayed inline. No need to click on the link to view the data.
Convos has sane defaults so after installing Convos you should be able to just run it:
# Install $ cpanm Convos # Run it $ convos backend & $ convos daemon
The above works, but if you have a lot of users you probably want to use hypnotoad instead of daemon:
daemon
$ hypnotoad $(which convos)
The command above will start a full featured, UNIX optimized, preforking non-blocking webserver. Run the same command again, and the webserver will hot reload the source code without loosing any connections.
You can also customize the config by setting MOJO_CONFIG before running any of the commands above. Example:
MOJO_CONFIG
$ MOJO_CONFIG=$HOME/.convos.conf convos daemon
You can use https://github.com/Nordaaker/convos/blob/release/convos.conf as config file template.
Per client state (track seen messages).
Web Notifications that integrate with notification center.
Fast JS Web Interface with async communication (Web Sockets)
Use HTML5 pushstate to be restful and fall back to page reloads for fully functioning non-async lite version.
Monospaced to be compatible with old school IRC clients/ascii
Rich media preview for links.
Facebook Connect for registration/Avatars.
Useful Archive search/viewer
Keep the JS simple and manageable
Use Redis to manage state / publish subscribe
Archive logs in plain text format, use ack to search them.
