irc2bash
A bridge between an IRC channel and the bash interpreter. Ensure you run this in a sandboxed VM unless you want random people messing with your PC remotely. This also works with sh, zsh, csh, and (probably) fish.
Installing
Linux
Clone the repository.
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/a-bad-dev/irc2bash.git
cd irc2bash/
Set up the config file (skel_config.py) with the editor of your choice.
The important settings are:
realname: Set this to the real name of your bot, use rce if unsure.
nickname: Set this to the nickname of your bot, this is the name you probably want to change. Use rce-bot or something similar if unsure.
channels: Sdd channels to this list for your bot to join.
ip: Set this to the IP or domain name of the IRC server
port: Set this to the port of the IRC server. Use 6667 if unsure.
ssl: Enable this to use SSL. Set to False if unsure.
command_prefix: The prefix used before commands sent to the bash interpreter. Set this to $ if unsure.
bot_prefix: The prefix used before commands that control the bot itself. Set this to # if unsure.
opper_nicknames: List of nicknames allowed to control the bot. Set this to your own nick if unsure.
Rename the config file so the script can detect it.
mv skel_config.py config.py
Run the bot.
python3 main.py
or
chmod +x main.py
./main.py
A systemd service is included if you want the bot to start on boot. For non-systemd systems, use a cron job running at reboot or something similar.
