gottaeat / irc-docker

Set-up and forget docker container for deploying IRSSI+tmux, exposed via rootless sshd.

irc-docker

irc-docker sets up an alpine-based docker container that establishes a tmux session that automatically spawns irssi instances. the communication to the tmux session is done via an sshd instance that runs as the irc user (uid:gid == 1337:1337).

installation

cp env.example .env # do modify the variables inside it
docker compose up

customization

users can supply their own files for software running inside the container in the following paths. if none supplied, the defaults provided by alpine will be used. do note that the entrypoint will chown and chmod them automatically.

configuration	path
SSH banner	$DATA_DIR/sshd/banner
tmux	$DATA_DIR/.tmux.conf
irssi	$DATA_DIR/.irssi/
busybox ash	$DATA_DIR/.profile/
