Ergo (formerly Oragono) is a modern IRC server written in Go. Its core design principles are:

• Being simple to set up and use
• Combining the features of an ircd, a services framework, and a bouncer (integrated account management, history storage, and bouncer functionality)
• Bleeding-edge IRCv3 support, suitable for use as an IRCv3 reference implementation
• Highly customizable via a rehashable (i.e., reloadable at runtime) YAML config

Other interesting features of Ergo include:

• Advanced internationalization support, including UTF-8 nicknames and channel names
• Support for running as a Tor onion service (“hidden service”)

To find out more about the project:

• We are currently in the process of moving this website to its new home at https://ergo.chat
• Our source code, issue tracker, and releases are on GitHub: https://github.com/ergochat/ergo
• You can chat with us in #ergo on libera.chat, or in #ergo on irc.ergo.chat
• You can play with a running instance at testnet.ergo.chat
• Or you can have your own instance up and running in a few minutes — see our quick start guide!

Oragono is now Ergo

As of v2.7.0, we've changed names to Ergo! We've also changed sites. While this site is left here for historical reference, please see this new site for news about our IRC server:
