XMPP gateway to IRC.


the biboumi logo

Biboumi is a Free, Libre and Open Source XMPP gateway that connects to IRC servers and translates between the two protocols. Its goal is to let XMPP users take part in IRC discussions, using their favourite XMPP client.
It provides the following features:

  • Connection from an unlimited number of XMPP users to an unlimited number of IRC servers
  • Persistent connections to a configured list of channels, making it behave as an IRC bouncer
  • Basic channel features: join, part, view and set the topic, view and set channel or user modes, kick, nick change…
  • Private conversations
  • Notices
  • Invitations
  • IRC colors (receive only)
  • TLS connections to IRC servers
  • Channel listing
  • CTCP version and ping
  • Dynamic per-user, per-server configuration using XMPP ad-hoc commands and data-forms
  • Automatic sending of a command on connection (mostly used to send an identify message to NickServ or other authentication services)
  • Support for sending arbitrary IRC commands to a server
  • Embedded identd server
  • Message Archive Management support

What people said

I really dont like irc, but sometimes I have to use it and biboumi makes it as painless as possible for me.tim
The problem of using Biboumi is that you want all your IM gateways to be as well made and integrated with XMPP than Biboumi.raspbeguy

Je n’ai jamais utilisé biboumi, mais louiz vient parfois sur #arch-fr-free et jusqu’ici il ne s’est jamais comporté de manière trop insupportable.Biganon
