I'd like to set up an IRC server with an embeddable web interface on a
Raspberry Pi. I have no idea where to begin.
reddit / irc

Any suggestions for irc/web servers would be greatly appreciated.

No IRC daemon that I know of has a built in web interface for
chatting. You'r best bet is installing an IRC daemon either via
packages (such as apt-get install blahblahblah), compiling source code
yourself.

For a web interface, hosting a KiwiIRC instance should be fine. It's
open source, just like basically every IRCd out there.

Yeah, I didn't expect that there'd be an AIO solution. Thanks for your
help.

If you check out Atheme's website (http://atheme.org) they have Atheme
IRC Services (ChanServ/NickServ/BotServ, etc.); tethys, Atheme's very
own IRC daemon; charybdis, another IRCd; Iris, a web client; and
finally, Atheme-Web, to manage Atheme IRC Services over the web. Hope
this helps!

Or qwebchat is better imo

Tethys isn't really ready for production use yet. Charybdis (also from
the atheme team) would be a better use.

To quote from the [README file on
github](https://github.com/atheme/tethys/blob/master/README.md):

>**This project is incomplete and very far from ready for production
networks, even small ones.** There are gobs of critical bugs and
missing features that will be cleared up for the 0.1 release, but
until then, this software should not be used for anything but testing
the software.

I started a project with something similar in mind it requires a bit
of source code compliation but not alot. You start with Inspircd's
source then find and add in the m_websocket module. Compile the
installer, (if on windows like me) install it `configure it` and then
connect via websocket. You'll need an client written in Javascript.

Using proxies and clients that project a local interface dont solve
the problem of IP identification and host mask. you cant have security
without proper websockets.

Source code I wrote https://github.com/SalvationDevelopment/YGOPro-
Support-System/blob/master/server/http/js/irc.js
