DESCRIPTION

kgb.conf is the main configuration file of the KGB bot. Its location is in /etc/kgb-bot/ unless changed with the --conf command line option. See kgb-bot(1).

The file format is YAML. Elaborate example configuration is at the end of this document.

Settings

soap

A map with the following possible keys:

server_addr

pid_dir

min_protocol_version

Minimum version of the protocol that will be supported by the server. Defaults to 1. Protocol version 0 has no authentication.

queue_limit

When messages are sent to IRC, there is certain rate limitting, which may prevent the message to be sent right away. In this case messages are enqueued, and this parameter configures the size of the queue. When the queue is full client requests are rejected.

repositories

A map with keys project names and values maps with project details:

password

flood

If set to a true value, polygen(1) will be used to generate replies when the bot is addressed on IRC.

debug

Enables logging of additional diagnostic information.

admins
