​Quassel-core is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to and detach from a central core.
This container handles the IRC connection (quasselcore) and requires a desktop client (quasselclient) to be used and configured. It is designed to be always on and will keep your identity present in IRC even when your clients cannot be online. Backlog (history) is downloaded by your client upon reconnection allowing infinite scrollback through time.
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64, arm64 and armhf. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling lscr.io/linuxserver/quassel-core 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
Tag
x86-64
amd64-latest
arm64
arm64v8-latest
armhf
arm32v7-latest
Application Setup
Quassel wiki: quassel​
A great place to host a quassel instance is a VPS, such as DigitalOcean. For $5 a month you can have a 24/7 IRC connection and be up and running in under 55 seconds (or so they claim).
Once you have the container running, fire up a quassel desktop client and connect to your new core instance using your droplets public IP address and the port you specified in your docker run command default: 4242. Create an admin user, select SQLite as your storage backend (Quassel limitation). Setup your real name and nick, then press Save & Connect.
You're now connected to IRC. Let's add you to our IRC #linuxserver.io room on Freenode. Click 'File' > 'Networks' > 'Configure Networks' > 'Add' (under Networks section, not Servers) > 'Use preset' > Select 'Freenode' and then configure your identity using the tabs in the 'Network details' section. Once connected to Freenode, click #join and enter #linuxserver.io. That's it, you're done.
Stateless usage
To use Quassel in stateless mode, where it needs to be configured through environment arguments, run it with the --config-from-environment RUN_OPTS environment setting.
Env
Usage
DB_BACKEND
SQLite or PostgreSQL
DB_PGSQL_USERNAME
PostgreSQL User
DB_PGSQL_PASSWORD
PostgreSQL Password
DB_PGSQL_HOSTNAME
PostgreSQL Host
DB_PGSQL_PORT

Parameters
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.
Ports (-p)
Parameter
Function
4242
The port quassel-core listens for connections on.
10113
Optional Ident Port
Environment Variables (-e)
Env
Function
PUID=1000
for UserID - see below for explanation
PGID=1000
for GroupID - see below for explanation
TZ=Europe/London
Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.
RUN_OPTS=--config-from-environment
Custom CLI options for Quassel
Volume Mappings (-v)
Volume
Function
/config
Database and quassel-core configuration storage.
Miscellaneous Options
Parameter
Function
Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.
As an example:
1
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Copied!
Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.
Umask for running applications
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.
User / Group Identifiers
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:
1
  $ id username
2
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
Copied!
