ZNC 1.6 configuration file consists of the following settings.

* '''AnonIPLimit''' - Limits the number of unidentified connections per IP.
 
* '''BindHost''' - This is a list of allowed bindhosts. It is used by the [[webadmin]] module for users to select one. (Set different bindhosts in "Settings" on your Webadmin-Interface first - one per line - to make them appear in users configs afterwards)

! Type
* '''Motd''' - The "message of the day" which is sent to clients on connect via notice from *status. Can be specified multiple times.

Creating a config file

To generate a basic configuration file, run znc --makeconf after installation. It is NOT a good idea to create a new config file manually, please use znc --makeconf!

File locations

  • Configuration - ZNC gets its configuration by reading the file ~/.znc/configs/znc.conf.
  • Misc - Other files are also stored in the ~/.znc directory, such as the SSL certificate (znc.pem) and the PidFile (znc.pid).
  • Local Modules - Stored in ~/.znc/modules. ZNC will look in the local module directory first when trying to load a module.
  • Global Modules - Stored in /usr/local/lib/znc by default (where /usr/local is the prefix you chose). This is /usr/lib/znc if you used the Debian package.
  • Binaries - znc, znc-config, and znc-buildmod are all stored in /usr/local/bin (or in /usr/bin) by default. You can change this when you configure by using ./configure --prefix=/whatever/path/you/want.

Editing config

In most cases you should NOT edit znc.conf directly. Use webadmin instead.

If you really need to edit znc.conf by hand, do the following:

  1. pkill -SIGUSR1 znc
    to save current runtime configuration to znc.conf
  2. pkill znc
    to shutdown running ZNC instance
  3. Edit znc.conf
  4. znc
    to start it again with new configuration

Config file settings

ZNC 1.6 configuration file consists of the following settings.

Global

Key Type Description
AnonIPLimit UInt Limits the number of unidentified connections per IP.

ConnectDelay UInt The time every connection will be delayed, in seconds. Some servers refuse your connection if you reconnect too fast. This affects the connection between ZNC and the IRC server; not the connection between your IRC client and ZNC.
LoadModule List ...
MaxBufferSize UInt Sets the global Max Buffer Size a user can have.
Motd List The "message of the day" which is sent to clients on connect via notice from *status. Can be specified multiple times.

AutoClearChanBuffer Bool If set to false, it will buffer channels even while you are attached, and play the whole buffer back to you each time you connect. If set to true, it won't buffer channels while you are attached, and the buffer will be reset upon each playback.
AutoClearQueryBuffer Bool If set to false, it will buffer queries even while you are attached, and play the whole buffer back to you each time you connect. If set to true, it won't buffer queries while you are attached, and the buffer will be reset upon each playback.
BindHost String ...
Buffer UInt This is the amount of lines that the playback buffer will store before dropping off the oldest line. The buffers are stored in the memory by default.
ChanModes String Default modes ZNC will set when you join an empty channel.
ClientEncoding String ...
CTCPReply List A request-reply-pair for CTCP-requests. Format: <request> <reply>, e.g. VERSION unknown v1.0
DCCBindHost String ...
DenyLoadMod Bool If set to true, the user isn't able to load modules.
DenySetBindHost Bool If set to true, the user isn't able to change his vhost.
Ident String ...
JoinTries UInt How often should ZNC try to join if the first join failed, e.g. due to channel mode +i/+k or if you're banned.

MaxJoins UInt How many channels should ZNC join at once. Lower this if you get disconnected for 'Excess flood.
MaxNetworks UInt Maximum number of networks a user is allowed to have.
MaxQueryBuffers UInt Maximum number of query buffers that are stored. 0 is unlimited.
MultiClients Bool Set this to true, if you want to be able to connect with multiple clients at once.

QuitMsg String The default quit message ZNC will use when you jump servers or call shutdown.
RealName String ...
Skin String ...
StatusPrefix String The prefix for the status and module queries.

Added in 1.6

  • SSLCiphers

  • Listener
    • URIPrefix
  • User
    • AutoClearQueryBuffer
    • ClientEncoding
    • MaxQueryBuffers
    • Network
      • Encoding
      • JoinDelay
      • QuitMsg
      • Chan
        • Disabled

Added in 1.2

  • User
    • MaxJoins

Older pre 1.x settings

  • DCCVHost - This is the IP address used for DCC bouncing.
  • BounceDCCs - If set to true, the DCCs will be bounced by ZNC.
  • DCCLookupMethod - If set to default, ZNC will use the IP the clients sends for the DCC connections; if set to client, ZNC will use the IP the client connects from.
  • Listener = [web_only|irc_only] [host or IP] [+]port - Configuration of listening port. Use web_only or irc_only, if you don't want port to be universal. Put host/IP before the port with a space between to bind to a specific IP (notice that in this case the listener can't listen on both ipv4 and ipv6). Then goes the port ZNC will listen on. If the port is prepended with a '+' (without space) then ZNC listens using SSL. You can have several listeners in one ZNC. (Introduced in 0.090, see next chapter for older versions)
  • Listener4 or Listener6 - Exactly the same as Listener, but will use only IPv4 or IPv6.
  • ISpoofFile - ZNC will write the ident of the user trying to connect to this file. Very useful if your shell supports oidentd.
  • ISpoofFormat - The format of the ISpoofFile.

Before 0.096

  • BindHost was named vHost

Before 0.090:

  • Listen was similar to Listener4 from last version, without irc_only/web_only support.
  • Listen6 was similar to Listener or Listener6 (depending on your OS) from last version, without irc_only/web_only support.
  • TODO: When did Listeners become their own substructure?
