Options: --db Resume a previously created session. --key Specify a cabal key. --host Host/Address to use for incoming IRC-connections. --port Port to listen for incoming IRC-connections. --help Prints this message.
Using Docker
No prebuilt images are available yet, but you can easily build one yourself by cloning this repository and running command:
docker build -t cabal-irc .
Then you can join the public cabal using command:
docker run --name cabal-irc \
-p 6667 \
-v ~/.cabal/archives:/data/ \
cabal-irc --key=cabal://0b2a6c1c58014fe0da6dff38df6282157c405bc0ed7b550cda5c8c43d8067047
And finally connect to localhost:6667 with an irc-client, you're set!
