I’ve been enjoying chatting on IRC and was wondering if anyone has any relevant experience with any bouncers?

I tried setting up ZNC but could not get any clients to work with it.

I finally settled on soju with goguma as client, but since no up-to-date Docker container existed, I had to create my own Dockerfile for that.

For now, it’s only available on my LAN (proxied through nginx), and am uncertain if exposing it externally is a good idea (I already have a VPN, but prefer to expose services if it’s safe to do so).

    Any reason to not just use TMUX and Weechat or irssi? I had sessions up for years when I was active in IRC

      None of those work on Android, which is where I’ll probably be the most active.

      I’ve seen weechat recommended elsewhere too, I’ll probably use it as desktop client.
