milla
Milla is an IRC bot that:
- sends things over to an LLM when you ask it questions and prints the answer with optional syntax-highlighting.Currently supported providers: Ollama, Openai, Gemini <br/>
- Milla can run more than one instance of itself
- Each instance can connect to a different ircd, and will get the full set of configs, e.g. different proxies, different postgres instance, ...
- You can define custom commands in the form of SQL queries to the database with the SQL query result being passed to the bot along with the given prompt and an optional limit so you don't go bankrupt(unless you are running ollama locally like the smart cookie that you are).<br/>
- lua plugin system to extend the bot's functionality.<br/>
milla accepts one cli arg which tells it where to look for the config file:<br/>
Usage of ./milla:
-config string
path to the config file (default "./config.toml")
The bot will respond to chat prompts if they begin with botnick:
.<br/>
The bot will see a chat prompt as a command if the message begins with botnick: /
.<br/>
Config
An example is provided under config-example.toml
. Please note that all the config options are specific to one instance which is defined by ircd.nameofyourinstance
.<br/>
ircServer
The address for the IRC server to connect to.
ircNick
The nick the bot should use.
enableSasl
Whether to use SASL for authentication.
ircSaslUser
The SASL username.

The SASL password for SASL plain authentication. Can also be passed as and environment variable.
ollamaEndpoint
The address for the Ollama chat endpoint.
model
The name of the model to use.
chromaStyle
The style to use for syntax highlighting done by chroma. This is basically what's called a "theme".
chromaFormatter
The formatter to use. This tells chroma how to generate the color in the output. The supported options are:
noop
for no syntax highlightingterminal
for 8-color terminalsterminal8
for 8-color terminalsterminal16
for 16-color terminalsterminal256
for 256-color terminalsterminal16m
for truecolor terminalshtml
for HTML output
NOTE: please note that the terminal formatters will increase the size of the IRC event. Depending on the IRC server, this may or may not be a problem.
provider
Which LLM provider to use. The supported options are:
- ollama
- chatgpt
- gemini
apikey
The apikey to use for the LLM provider. Can also be passed as and environment variable.
ollamaSystem
The system message to use for ollama.
clientCertPath
The path to the client certificate to use for client cert authentication.
serverPass
The password to use for the IRC server the bot is trying to connect to if the server has a password. Can also be passed as and environment variable.
bind
Which address to bind to for the IRC server.
temp
The temperature to config the model with.
requestTimeout
The timeout for requests made to the LLM provider.
millaReconnectDelay
How much to wait before reconnecting to the IRC server.
ircPort
Which port to connect to for the IRC server.
keepAlive
memoryLimit
How many conversations to keep in memory for a model.
pingDelay
Ping delay for the IRC server.
pingTimeout
Ping timeout for the IRC server.
topP
topK
skipTLSVerify
Skip verifying the IRC server's TLS certificate. This only makes sense if you are trying to connect to an IRC server with a self-signed certificate.
useTLS
Whether to use TLS to connect to the IRC server. This option is provided to support usage on overlay networks such as Tor, i2p and yggdrassil.
disableSTSFallback
Disables the "fallback" to a non-TLS connection if the strict transport policy expires and the first attempt to reconnect back to the TLS version fails.
allowFlood
Disable girc's built-in flood protection.
debug
Whether to enable debug logging. The logs are written to stdout.
out
Whether to write raw messages to stdout.
admins
List of admins for the bot. Only admins can use commands.
admins = ["admin1", "admin2"]
ircChannels
List of channels for the bot to join when it connects to the server.
ircChannels = ["#channel1", "#channel2"]
Please note that the bot does not have to join a channel to be usable. One can simply query the bot directly as well.<br/>
databaseUser
Name of the database user.
databasePassword
Password for the database user.
databaseAddress
Address of the database.
databaseName
Name of the database.
scrapeChannels
List of channels that the bot will scrape into a database table. You can later on use these databases for the custom commands.<br/>

webIRCAddress
webirc address to use.
rssFile
The file that contains the rss feeeds.
channel
The channel to send the rss feeds to.
plugins
A list of plugins to load:plugins = ["./plugins/rss.lua", "./plugins/test.lua"]
Custom Commands
Custom commands let you define a command that does a SQL query to the database and performs the given task. Here's an example:
[ircd.devinet_terra.customCommands.digest]
sql = "select log from liberanet_milla_us_market_news order by log desc;"
limit = 300
context = ["you are a sentiment-analysis bot"]
prompt= "i have provided to you news headlines in the form of previous conversations between you and me using the user role. please provide the digest of the news for me."
[ircd.devinet_terra.customCommands.summarize]
sql= "select log from liberanet_milla_us_market_news order by log desc;"
limit= 300
context = ["you are a sentiment-analysis bot"]
prompt= "i have provided to you news headlines in the form of previous conversations between you and me using the user role. please summarize the provided news for me. provide some details."
[ircd.devinet_terra.customCommands.canada]
sql= "select log from liberanet_milla_us_market_news order by log desc;"
limit= 300
context = ["you are a canadian news anchor", "you only care about news that is relevant to canada"]
prompt= "i have provided to you news headlines in the form of previous conversations between you and me using the user role. please summarize the provided news for me. provide some details."
In the above example digest and summarize will be the names of the commands: milla: /cmd summarize
.<br/>
Currently you should only ask for the log column in the query. Asking for the other column will result in the query not succeeding.<br/>
The limit
parameter limits the number of SQL queries that are used to generate the response. Whether you hit the token limit of the provider you use and the cost is something you should be aware of.<br/>
A limit
value of 0 disables the limit on the amount of rows that are passed to milla.<br/>
NOTE: since each milla instance can have its own database, all instances might not necessarily have access to all the data milla is gathering. If you use the same database for all the instances, all instances will have access to all the gathered data.<br/>
Watchlist
Watchlists allow you to specify a list of channels to watch. The watched values are given in a list of files, each line of the file specifying a value to watch for. Finally a value is given for the alertchannel where the bot will mirror the message that triggered a match.<br/>
[ircd.devinet_terra.watchlist.security]
watchList = ["#securityfeeds"]
watchFiles = ["/watchfiles/voidbox.list"]
alertChannel = "#milla_alerts"
eventTypes = ["PRIVMSG"]
fgColor = 0
bgColor = 28
For the watchList option, please remember to put the channels also in your scrape scrapeChannels
.<br/>
RSS
The rss file is self-explanatory. Here's an example:
{
"feeds": [
{
"name": "one",
"url": "http://feeds.feedburner.com/crunchyroll/rss",
"proxy": "socks5://172.17.0.1:9007",
"userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 (Ubuntu-edgy)",
"timeout": 10
},
{
"name": "two",
"url": "http://feeds.feedburner.com/crunchyroll/rss/anime",
"proxy": "socks5://172.17.0.1:9007",
"userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pl; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 (Ubuntu-edgy)",
"timeout": 10

Plugins and Scripting
milla can be extended with plugins. The plugins are written in lua and are loaded at runtime. The plugins are loaded after an IRC connection has been made.<br/> milla uses gopher-lua which implements a lua 5.1 VM in Go.<br/> This means that lua libraries that are implemented in C will not be available to gopher-lua, only pure lua libraries will be available..<br/> There are a few libraries written in go specifically for gopher-lua that are available to milla. Below there is a list of the current ones.<br/>
An example plugin is provided under plugins/rss.lua
.<br/>
period: 3600

rss_feed()
The example rss plugin, accepts a yaml file as input, reeds the provided rss feeds once, extracts the title, author name and link to the resource, sends the feed over to the #rssfeed
irc channel and exits.<br/>
Also please note that this is just an example script. If you want milla to handle some rss feeds for you, you can use the builtin rss functionality.<br/>
Milla's Lua Module
Here's a list of the available function in milla's lua module:
milla.send_message(msg, target)
milla.join_channel(channel)
milla.part_channel(channel)
milla.send_ollama_request(prompt)
milla.send_gemini_request(prompt)
milla.send_chatgpt_request(prompt)
milla.query_db(query)
milla.register_cmd(script_path, cmd_name, function_name)
milla.url_encode(str)
Using register_cmd
we can register a command that will be available to run like the built-in and customs commands.<br/>
Here's an example of how to use it:<br/>
local milla = require("milla")
local os = require("os")
local json = require("json")
-- setting the proxy value before loading the http module
-- this way, only this script will be using this proxy
os.setenv("ALL_PROXY", "socks5://172.17.0.1:9057")
local http = require("http")
-- this function should be global
-- one string arg that holds all args
-- should only return one string value
function milla_get_ip(arg)
local ip = arg
local response, err = http.request("GET", "http://ip-api.com/json/" .. ip)
if err ~= nil then print(err) end
local json_response, err = json.decode(response.body)
if err ~= nil then print(err) end
for k, v in pairs(json_response) do print(k, v) end
local result = ""
for key, value in pairs(json_response) do
result = result .. key .. ": " .. value .. " -- "
end
return result
end
milla.register_cmd("/plugins/ip.lua", "ip", "milla_get_ip")
This will allow us to do:<br/>
terra: /ip 1.1.1.1
And get this in response:<br/>
isp: Cloudflare, Inc -- query: 1.1.1.1 -- status: success -- regionName: Queensland -- lat: -27.4766 -- timezone: Australia/Brisbane -- region: QLD -- lon: 153.0166 -- country: Australia -- countryCode: AU -- city: South Brisbane --ip: 4101 -- org: APNIC and Cloudflare DNS Resolver project -- as: AS13335 Cloudflare, Inc. --
NOTES
-
Each lua plugin gets its own lua state and will run in a goroutine.<br/>
-
Lua plugins will not go through a proxy if they are not instructed to do so. If you are using the provided http module, you can set the proxy value before loading the http module as provided in the examples under
plugins
. The module will read and set the following environment variables in the order given:ALL_PROXY
HTTPS_PROXY
HTTP_PROXY
https_proxy
http_proxy
http
andsocks5
proxies are supported. unfortunately, thesocks5h
proxy is not supported.<br/>
ALL_PROXY=socks5://172.17.0.1:9050
More of milla's functionality will be available through milla's lua module over time.<br/>
The following libraries are loaded by milla by default:
FAQ
- I end up with color escape sequences getting printed at the end of a line/begging of the next line. What gives?
This is happening because you have reached the message limit on irc which 512 for the event. This practically leaves around 390-400 character left for the message itself. Certain ircds allow for bigger sizes and certain clients might do. But most ircds don't send
linelen
to the clients. In a closed-loop situation where you control everything, as in, the ircd and all the clients(i.e. A private irc network), you can try to increase thelinelen
for the ircd and the client. Please note that the client in this case is girc. You irc client can have its own set of limits too. The 512 limit is hardcoded in girc. You can vendor the build or use the vendored dockerfile, change the hard limit and run milla with an increased limit. Needless to say, you can try to use achromaFormatter
that produces less characters which is basically not using truecolor orterminal16m
.
