Clients

This page describes how to configure IRC clients to better integrate with soju.

Also see the IRCv3 support tables for a more general list of clients.

catgirl

catgirl doesn't implement cap-3.2, so many capabilities will be disabled. catgirl developers have publicly stated that supporting bouncers such as soju is a non-goal.

Emacs

There are two clients provided with Emacs. They require some setup to work properly.

Erc

Create an interactive function for connecting:

(defun run-erc ()
  (interactive)
  (erc-tls :server "<server>"
           :port 6697
           :nick "<nick>"
           :user "<username>/irc.libera.chat" ;; Example with Libera.Chat
           :password "<password>"))

Then run M-x run-erc.

Rcirc

The only thing needed here is the general config:

(setq rcirc-server-alist
      '(("<server>"
         :port 6697
         :encryption tls
         :nick "<nick>"
         :user-name "<username>/irc.libera.chat" ;; Example with Libera.Chat
         :password "<password>")))

Then run M-x irc.

gamja

gamja has been designed together with soju, so should have excellent integration. gamja supports many IRCv3 features including chat history. gamja also provides UI to manage soju networks via the soju.im/bouncer-networks extension.

goguma

Much like gamja, goguma has been designed together with soju, so should have excellent integration. goguma supports many IRCv3 features including chat history. goguma should seamlessly connect to all networks configured in soju via the soju.im/bouncer-networks extension.

Hexchat

Hexchat has support for a small set of IRCv3 capabilities. To prevent automatically reconnecting to channels parted from soju, and prevent buffering outgoing messages:

/set irc_reconnect_rejoin off
/set net_throttle off

irssi

To connect irssi to a network, for example Libera Chat:

/network add -user <soju user>/irc.libera.chat libera
/server add -auto -tls -network libera <soju ip or hostname> <soju port> <soju password>

Then, to actually connect:

/connect libera

senpai

senpai is being developed with soju in mind, so should have excellent integration. senpai supports many IRCv3 features including chat history. senpai should seamlessly connect to all networks configured in soju via the soju.im/bouncer-networks extension.

Weechat

A soju.py Weechat script is available to provide better integration with soju. The script will automatically connect to all of your networks once a single connection to soju is set up in Weechat.

Additionally, read_marker.py can be enabled to synchronize the read marker between multiple clients.

On WeeChat 3.2-, no IRCv3 capabilities are enabled by default. To enable them:

/set irc.server_default.capabilities account-notify,away-notify,cap-notify,chghost,extended-join,invite-notify,multi-prefix,server-time,userhost-in-names
/save
/reconnect -all

See /help cap for more information.
