I have an irc server (unreal5+ which supports websockets) and am
hoping to add a widget to my website. I previously added the kiwiirc
widget, but I have decided I would like to have users use websockets
so that I can identify them instead of all users having the ip address
of the kiwi irc server. I’m wondering if it is possible to modify the
kiwi irc widget to use SSL and websockets, or if there are other
widgets available which can do this. Or, if it is the only way, I
would be happy with just a hyperlink ([kiwiirc.com/client/server/chann
el](http://kiwiirc.com/client/server/channel) etc.) that would allow
users to connect to the server using a websocket without too much
input from the end user. (I should note that the websocket module is
already full configured and I can connect to it by modifying the
settings in kiwi irc web client)

Libera.chat uses Gamja as one of their Web IRC clients, and that uses
websockets.

You'll probably need to host it yourself though.

If you sign up on kiwiirc.com add your server then setup webirc blocks
in unreal users will have their real ip's. You could also upload the
kiwiirc client files to your server and use direct websockets via the
config.json

The wiki has information on configuration github.com/kiwiirc/kiwiirc
or pop into #kiwiirc on libera
