When +configured, pushes to a project will trigger the service to send data directly +to the Irker server. + +See the project homepage for further info: https://gitlab.com/esr/irker + +## Needed setup + +You will first need an Irker daemon. You can download the Irker code from its +repository on https://gitlab.com/esr/irker: + +``` +git clone https://gitlab.com/esr/irker.git +``` + +Once you have downloaded the code, you can run the python script named `irkerd`. +This script is the gateway script, it acts both as an IRC client, for sending +messages to an IRC server obviously, and as a TCP server, for receiving messages +from the GitLab service. + +If the Irker server runs on the same machine, you are done. If not, you will +need to follow the firsts steps of the next section. + +## Complete these steps in GitLab: + +1. Navigate to the project you want to configure for notifications. +1. Select "Settings" in the top navigation. +1. Select "Services" in the left navigation. +1. Click "Irker". +1. Select the "Active" checkbox. +1. Enter the server host address where `irkerd` runs (defaults to `localhost`) +in the `Server host` field on the Web page +1. Enter the server port of `irkerd` (e.g. defaults to 6659) in the +`Server port` field on the Web page. +1. Optional: if `Default IRC URI` is set, it has to be in the format +`irc[s]://domain.name` and will be prepend to each and every channel provided +by the user which is not a full URI. +1. Specify the recipients (e.g. #channel1, user1, etc.) +1. Save or optionally click "Test Settings". + +## Note on Irker recipients + +Irker accepts channel names of the form `chan` and `#chan`, both for the +`#chan` channel. If you want to send messages in query, you will need to add +`,isnick` after the channel name, in this form: `Aorimn,isnick`. In this latter +case, `Aorimn` is treated as a nick and no more as a channel name. + +Irker can also join password-protected channels. Users need to append +`?key=thesecretpassword` to the chan name. |
