Allow IRC Commands to Use Network Aliases #397

Open nhandler opened 7 years ago

nhandler commented 7 years ago

I run matrix-appservice-irc within a Docker container. I have it connecting to some private IRC networks that are only accessible via a reverse SSH Tunnel. While this works, it means that the IRC server name ends up as the IP address of a network interface on the box. This is quite tedious to remember/type when I want to send commands such as !nick or !join. It would be nice if I could instead use the human-friendly network names that I have specified in the config. By this, I mean that for something like freenode, I would be able to type !join freenode #freenode in addition to !join chat.freenode.net #freenode.
