IRC Federation

Connect to other IRC servers

IRC Federation is in beta. Use on a production system is not recommended at this time.

IRC Federation allows your server to connect to other IRC servers.

Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a text-based group communication tool. Users join uniquely named channels, or rooms, for open discussion. IRC also supports private messages between individual users and file-sharing capabilities. This package integrates these layers of functionality with Rocket.Chat.

After configuring, you are able to communicate directly from your Rocket.Chat to any external IRC server.

To access this setting, go to Administration > Workspace > Settings > IRC Federation.

• Description: Description of your IRC server.

After configuring, hit Save Changes and Restart your server.
