Creating a config file

To generate a basic configuration file, run znc --makeconf after installation. It is NOT a good idea to create a new config file manually, please use znc --makeconf!

File locations

  • Configuration - ZNC gets its configuration by reading the file ~/.znc/configs/znc.conf.
  • Misc - Other files are also stored in the ~/.znc directory, such as the SSL certificate (znc.pem) and the PidFile (znc.pid).
  • Local Modules - Stored in ~/.znc/modules. ZNC will look in the local module directory first when trying to load a module.
  • Global Modules - Stored in /usr/local/lib/znc by default (where /usr/local is the prefix you chose). This is /usr/lib/znc if you used the Debian package.
  • Binaries - znc, znc-config, and znc-buildmod are all stored in /usr/local/bin (or in /usr/bin) by default. You can change this when you configure by using ./configure --prefix=/whatever/path/you/want.

Editing config

In most cases you should NOT edit znc.conf directly. Use webadmin instead.

If you really need to edit znc.conf by hand, do the following:

  1. pkill -SIGUSR1 znc
    to save current runtime configuration to znc.conf
  2. pkill znc
    to shutdown running ZNC instance
  3. Edit znc.conf
  4. znc
    to start it again with new configuration

Config file structure

The following pseudo content illustrates the config structure with single listener, user, network and channel. Naturally, there can be multiple instances of each. 

Key = Value

<Listener name>
    Key = Value
</Listener>

<User name>
    Key = Value

    <Network name>
        Key = Value

        <Chan name>
            Key = Value
        </Chan>
    </Network>
    
    <Pass password>
        Key = Value
    </Pass>
</User>

Config file settings

Older pre 1.x settings

  • DCCVHost - This is the IP address used for DCC bouncing.
  • BounceDCCs - If set to true, the DCCs will be bounced by ZNC.
  • DCCLookupMethod - If set to default, ZNC will use the IP the clients sends for the DCC connections; if set to client, ZNC will use the IP the client connects from.
  • Listener = [web_only|irc_only] [host or IP] [+]port - Configuration of listening port. Use web_only or irc_only, if you don't want port to be universal. Put host/IP before the port with a space between to bind to a specific IP (notice that in this case the listener can't listen on both ipv4 and ipv6). Then goes the port ZNC will listen on. If the port is prepended with a '+' (without space) then ZNC listens using SSL. You can have several listeners in one ZNC. (Introduced in 0.090, see next chapter for older versions)
  • Listener4 or Listener6 - Exactly the same as Listener, but will use only IPv4 or IPv6.
  • ISpoofFile - ZNC will write the ident of the user trying to connect to this file. Very useful if your shell supports oidentd.
  • ISpoofFormat - The format of the ISpoofFile.

Before 0.096

  • BindHost was named vHost

Before 0.090:

  • Listen was similar to Listener4 from last version, without irc_only/web_only support.
  • Listen6 was similar to Listener or Listener6 (depending on your OS) from last version, without irc_only/web_only support.
  • TODO: When did Listeners become their own substructure?
