I am running termux, using ubuntu proof, on my phone. How can I host
my own IRC through my phone? I want to make my own server on my phone,
that is my only goal. I am trying to use InspIRCd, but I'm not sure
how I would set up the configuration file. I attempted to use my
Github, but it doesn't work anyway because I'm not sure how to
properly set the conf file.

Why would you want to run it through a phone? What kind of networking
capabilities are you expecting to support? Generally you want
something with a dedicated or semi-dedicated connection, something
which can handle a decent throughput volume. This generally means an
ethernet link, or a VPS which can emulate that connection to the host
server via KVM.

Everytime your phone changes networks, every user of your server will
get involuntarily netsplit. This does not bode well for a server.
Alternatively, you might consider some single-board computer?

There's a lot of questions to be considered here...

Don't. Use a realistic computer for running a network service. Not
some phone.

I imagine OP wants to do this as a proof of concept.

Some one ran a jellyfin server on their phone

Yeah pretty much.

Like 10Leej said, for proof of concept, but also because there is a
thing called AndroidX86, and can be run on full PCs. I am hoping to
set up InspIRCd on my computer, which of course will run a
bouncer/proxy

Servers ultimate claims it can run an irc server on Android. Never
tried it but maybe it leads you in the right direction?
