atheme-docker

This is an unofficial Docker image for Atheme IRC Services, based off of Alpine and built weekly.

Maintenance notice

2022-09 update: This repository is not actively maintained and will NOT be updated past Atheme 7.2.x. If you'd like to take over maintenance with a fork and have it mentioned here, please get in touch with @jlu5.

Usage

First, write your desired atheme.conf and copy services.db (if you have one) into an empty directory. Make sure it is writable by UID 10000 (or rebuild the image with your desired UID - see Build Arguments below)

$ docker run -v /path/to/services/data:/atheme/etc ovdnet/atheme

Supported tags

• You can use the latest tag (which points to the latest release built from this repository), or pin to a specific version (e.g. 7.2.10-r2, 7.2, 7)
• Builds with contrib modules are also available: contrib (latest release), as well as pins to specific versions (e.g. 7.2.10-r2-contrib, 7.2-contrib, 7-contrib)

Sending mail from services

This container bundles msmtp to easily route mail through an external provider. You can use it in Atheme by setting mta = /usr/bin/msmtp and mounting a configuration file into /etc/msmtprc.

The Arch Linux Wiki has a useful page on msmtp configuration: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Msmtp#Basic_setup

Build arguments

For those who want to create customized builds, here are options exposed by the Dockerfile:

• ATHEME_UID: sets the UID for the Atheme user to run as. Defaults to 10000.
• ATHEME_VERSION: Atheme version to pull from Git
• BUILD_CONTRIB_MODULES: if set to a non-empty value, enables building contrib modules.
