guys i may be stupid. i confused IRC bouncer with IRC server
@kat well gamja works fine and all with other people's networks but I WANT MY OWN LITTLE NETWORK. FOR FUN
@kat is there anything i can even run or is this like email where you should just use libera and shut up
@kat ngircd is nice: https://ngircd.barton.de/ You can absolutely host this on your server for you and your friends (I’ve been doing that for a very long time). Actually *peering* with something like libera is hard, though, because they have strict requirements and *a lot* of traffic. Then again, there’s no real benefit in peering, actually. IRC is pretty “decentralized” anyway and people are usually used to connecting to several networks, so joining another one isn’t a big deal, imho. 🙃
@movq i tried ngircd but couldn't figure it out TT i left it at the web client and bouncer for now but i might toy with an IRC server another time!
@kate @movq You could also have a play with eris which I use to power my little tiny server (_that almost no-one uses 🤣_)_
it is infininately simpler to run/operate 🤣
@prologic oooh this looks interesting!!! maybe i could play around with it in docker and see how to integrate it with caddy layer4 for TLS + my existing web client and bouncer!!
@bender also an interesting option! i think i'm most worried about the cert stuff because i just let caddy handle that for me so i'm not sure how to get files from certbot for that (i had issues with that yesterday) but i can look into it and just toy around with it
@bender oh yeah that's true, it's just that i have caddy on a different machine than where i'd host ergo so that's what worries me :')
