Configure simple eggdrop.conf
Eggdrop has a very complex configuration file which can overwhelm new users. To make things simpler, we focus on just the most essential settings you must change.
Create a new file inside ~/
set username "botusername"
set admin "username <email: username@example.com>"
set nick "botnick"
set altnick "botn?ck"
set realname "/msg botnick hello"
set network "Your Network"
set userfile "botusername.user"
set chanfile "botusername.chan"
Replace with your own settings. For network, use a short simple name instead of theactual server address. For example, the network name might be IRCNow instead of irc.ircnow.org.
set prefer-ipv6 1
We set prefer-ipv6 to 1, meaning eggdrop will attempt to use IPv6 wherever possible. Among other benefits, this will allow our eggdrop to have a unique vhost.
loadmodule server
set net-type "Other"
set default-port 6667
server add irc6.example.com +6697
Here, we configure the network we want to connect to. There are several network types: EFnet, IRCnet, Undernet, DALnet, Libera, freenode, QuakeNet, Rizon, Twitch, and Other. If you're not sure, choose Other.
You'll want to replace irc6.example.com +6697 with your actual server and port. It's best to use an IPv6-only server address. If you're using SSL, make sure to add a + plus sign. If you're using a plaintext port like port 6667, leave out the + plus sign.
WARNING: Don't confuse plaintext with SSL# If you're connecting to port 6667, do not put a + plus sign in front. If you're connecting to port +6697, do put a + sign in front.
Below, we set the vhosts assigned to us when we created the shell account:
set vhost4 "username.example.com"
set vhost6 "username.example.com"
You cannot pick any vhost you want; you must use the vhost given to you when you created the shell account. This is because your vhost must have forward and [reverse DNS entries configured in order to work correctly. You cannot pick any vhost you want; you must use the vhost given to you when you created the shell account. This is because your vhost must have forward and [reverse DNS entries configured in order to work correctly.
If you'd like to pick a different vhost, contact your sysadmin.
Finally, we just copy the rest of these lines unchanged into the conf file (Attach:eggdrop-simple.conf.txt):
