selfhosted irccloud-like service reddit / irc ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pheexx · 2012-10-20 16:15 Hi Guys, I'm actually looking for a project that provides a Webbased IRC Client with backlogs just like https://irccloud.com/. After a lot of research I found tiny tiny irc and set it up but it's pretty unstable and not really usable at this point (imo the dev is frozen at the moment) Is one of you guys aware of a open source or commercial project similar to irccloud that I can put on my servers. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GTB3NW · 2012-10-20 17:44 If you're not aware what irccloud is, it's a bouncer, but.. a large bouncer at that, with a web interface. You can host a bouncer yourself with something like ZNC, then create a web interface? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- faghat · 2012-10-20 18:31 Alternatively, he could request a BNC via a free service such as EliteBNC and use mibbit (or some other web-based IRC client that allows "random" servers and such) to connect to that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kaolbrec · 2012-10-20 19:15 "Subway" (found [here](https://github.com/thedjpetersen/subway)) is similar, but it is currently under development. I am not sure if it plans to provide all the functionality of irccloud, but it might be worth a look. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- benburhans · 2012-10-20 20:14 You could use a web client like [qwebirc](http://qwebirc.org/) with a bouncer like [znc](http://wiki.znc.in/ZNC) to achieve what you're looking for, but would require you hosting it on a VPS or similar and you'd have to configure where should connect and what modules you want loaded. Disclaimer: I only know of irccloud because of their presence on freenode, and I have never administered ZNC myself, although I have provided shells for others to do so. (I use irssi in screen and qwebirc exclusively.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- eggbean · 2012-10-21 00:37 I've never used irccloud, but it looks nice in the screenshots. But it's going to a subscription service. When I want to access IRC from any web-connected computer which I do not own, I use Mibbit, which I use to connect to my ZNC bouncer which runs on an Amazon EC2 cloud server. Mibbit works very nicely for a web client and works fine with ZNC's away replays. While freenode has banned Mibbit, you can still use it to connect to ZNC, which in turn connects to freenode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pheexx · 2012-10-21 08:51 I had the same idea, but it's pretty hard to handle, let's say, 10 or more Users this way. Works like a charm with one user but qwebirc lacks authentifacation methods imo edit: i want to avoid 3rd party website(-services) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pheexx · 2012-10-21 08:51 Thank you, will take a look at it ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pheexx · 2012-10-21 08:56 I do have Servers on my own, I was looking for opensource project to host it my self ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pheexx · 2012-11-05 18:30 Okay set it all up and it's running just fine. Only thing I'm stuck right now is to bind the webserver as well as the irc connection to a specific interface on the server as the one I use has 4 interfaces/IP Adresses ---------------------------------------------------------------------- kaolbrec · 2012-11-05 19:19 I'm afraid I have no clue, as I don't even run it myself. Best chance would probably be to try messaging the dev on github. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pheexx · 2012-11-05 19:21 Just opened a ticket at their git project - thanks for your help, much appreciated! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Neoinr · 2012-11-06 13:57 Qwebirc does not have a built-in auth, meaning that when the user connects the user must do /pass USERNAME:PASSWORD. Surely someone with a little scripting knowledge could replace the "nickname" field with a username and password field that is then sent in that manner. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pheexx · 2012-11-06 18:13 But I don't have that knowledge :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ecnahc515 · 2012-12-24 00:14 Subway is pretty badass, I actually know the writer of it, and he put a lot of work into it.
