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).

Maybe you can try The Lounge? It is somewhat different than an IRC proxy since it has a web client (that is always connected)

The Lounge is how I got into IRC and it’s very good! However, the web UI isn’t that great on mobile, which led me to check out Android IRC apps and bouncers to sync everything across clients.
