ZNC for Docker

Run the ZNC IRC Bouncer in a Docker container.

Running

To retain your ZNC settings between runs, you will need to bind a directory from the host to /znc-data in the container. For example:

docker run -v /home/$(whoami)/.znc:/znc-data jimeh/znc

This will download the image if needed, and create a default config file in your data directory. The default config has ZNC listening on port 6667. To see which port on the host has been exposed:

docker ps

Or if you want to specify which port to map the default 6667 port to:

docker run -p 36667:6667-v /home/$(whoami)/.znc:/znc-data jimeh/znc

Resulting in port 36667 on the host mapping to 6667 within the container.

Configuring

If you've let the container create a default config for you, the default username/password combination is admin/admin. You can access the web-interface to create your own user by pointing your web-browser at the opened port.

I'd recommend you create your own user by cloning the admin user, then ensure your new cloned user is set to be an admin user. Once you login with your new user go ahead and delete the default admin user.

Building It Yourself

1. Install Docker (http://docker.io/).
2. Checkout source: git clone https://github.com/jimeh/docker-znc.git
3. Build container: sudo docker build -t $(whoami)/znc .
