Re: Ergo Chat – A modern IRC server written in Go
#2I've been running Ergo for the past year for my friends/family chat. I went this route because of the ease of hosting, very low resource requirements and a protocol and codebase that I feel I can understand and debug if needed.
The v3 chathistory support and the always-on[1] multi-client[2] features paired with modern clients (like Goguma) go a long way at providing a modern chat environment. Most others on the server don't even know that they are using IRC.
The built-in websocket support is another key feature for me since it lets me to provide a web client just by serving some static files (I use Gamja for this).

#3Just in time for taking my chatops onprem. Clear text orchestration with a chat log is pretty nice. !docker-restart :)

As heavy Discord user, it's nice to see that IRC is still kicking and might be available if/when Discord ZIRP gas runs out.

why would they need to download and setup a server? can't they just log in to OP's with the client of their choice?

Isn't it just: install app, enter myserver.net and username+password ?

#9It feels really nice to see stuff like this while the most of the people think Slack, Discord and a few others are the only choices.
I recently went through the hassle of deciding on something small for my family + company circle. Mainly considered XMPP and Matrix, and went with Matrix. Didn't know there was such a thing as "always-on" on IRC tho.
