linuxserver/ngircd
Ngircd is a free, portable and lightweight Internet Relay Chat server for small or private networks, developed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It is easy to configure, can cope with dynamic IP addresses, and supports IPv6, SSL-protected connections as well as PAM for authentication. It is written from scratch and not based on the original IRCd.
Simply pulling
lscr.io/linuxserver/ngircd:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
armhf | ✅ | arm32v7-<version tag> |
- To setup ngircd you will need to edit
/config/ngircd.confwhich is created the first time the container is run, edit the file and restart the container to implement any config changes.
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate
<external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
6667 | ngircd port |
Env | Function |
|---|---|
PUID=1000 | for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1000 | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
TZ=Etc/UTC |
Volume | Function |
|---|---|
/config | Where ngircd.conf is stored |
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend
FILE__.As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable
PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional
-e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.When using volumes (
-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance
PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below: $ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it ngircd /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f ngircd
- Container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' ngircd
- Image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/ngircd:latest
