# Setting up the tilde.club IRC server
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We chose to go with charybdis, mostly because it's in the Debian/Ubuntu package repository (universe), so we can update it without having to go through the configure/make/make install process.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## System setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The server is an Amazon EC2 instance, running Ubuntu. Initial system setup included:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* modifying the hostname (`sudo hostname irc`) (and perhaps also needing to edit the `/etc/hostname` file, unclear)
|
||
|
|
* updating the `/etc/hosts` file (add `172.30.0.216 irc.tilde.club irc`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Installing charybdis
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First, we needed to add the "universe" repository to the `apt` repository list:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) universe"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once that was added, charybdis could be installed:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
sudo apt-get install charybdis
|
||
|
|
```
