With our Raspberry Pi now up to date, we can proceed with installing the IRC Server software onto it.
To do this run the following two commands in the terminal on your Raspberry Pi. Before we get started with installing and setting up our Raspberry Pi IRC server we will first run an update and upgrade to ensure the Raspbian operating system is completely up to date. Installing and configuring the IRC Serverġ. Equipment Listīelow are all the bits and pieces that I used for this Raspberry Pi IRC Server tutorial, you will need an internet connection to be able to complete this tutorial. If you like the idea of this, then be sure to check out some of our other server tutorials for the Raspberry Pi.įor this project, we will be utilizing Ircd-Hybrid as it is the most lightweight, high-performance and reliable IRC server that we have tested. There are quite a few different servers that you can set up on a Raspberry Pi, and this is just one of them. In fact, we use the IRC protocol to interact with Twitch’s Chat network in our Raspberry Pi Twitch Bot tutorial. IRC for those who don’t know stands for Internet Relay Chat, it is one of the oldest chat protocols and even though it has fallen in popularity in recent years it is still the backbone of many communities.Įven the popular streaming service, Twitch makes use of an IRC server to handle its chat. Textual takes customization to the next level with styles created using well documented, open standards in addition to addons built using a multitude of programming languages such as AppleScript, Objective-C, PHP, Python, Perl, Ruby, Shell, and Swift.An IRC server is perfect for the Raspberry Pi as compared to most other servers, as it is not hugely performance draining on the Raspberry Pi’s limited resources.
