Bitlbee Discord via Docker Container
This project uses bitlbee wih libpurple as IRC gateway and purple-discord plugin which allows us to connect to discord. Docker image is based on fedora 27 because it has all required packages out of the box.
You may ask, why docker? Because it will just work on all distros without messing around with packages and dependendies and there are a lot of them.
Anyway, after running this containter you would be able to conenct bo bitlbee from your favorite IRC client. Enjoy.
Quick how to use:
- Run container like this
docker run -d -p <bitlbee_port_on_your_host>:6667 -v your/bitlbee/settings/dir/on/host:/var/lib/bitlbee bitlbee-discord
or execute setup.sh script and them move to point 3.
-
After running this container just connect to it from your IRC client
-
Set up bitlbee to use discord by swtiching to "&bitlbee" window:
identify <bitlbee_password>
account add eionrobb-discord <[email protected]> <discord_pass>
account eionrobb-discord on
And you are connected to Discord!
