The atl.chat IRC stack consists of UnrealIRCd (the IRC server daemon) and Atheme (IRC services providing NickServ, ChanServ, and friends). Both run as Docker containers and are configured entirely via environment variables and templated config files.

Components

​
UnrealIRCd

UnrealIRCd is the IRC server. The apps/unrealircd/ image uses a multi-stage Alpine build: a build stage compiles UnrealIRCd from source, and a minimal runtime stage contains only the compiled binary and its config.

​
Atheme

Atheme provides IRC services (NickServ, ChanServ, HostServ, etc.). It runs in the same network namespace as UnrealIRCd and connects to it via the Atheme uplink on 127.0.0.1:6901.
