Hi all!

I sit in a few IRC servers and I'm wondering if anyone's aware of some
software that'll allow me to send messages to an IRC channel from any
of the *arr suites of software.

Cheers in advance :)

You probably havent done any research, look at the *awesome*
selfhosted list in the subreddit sidebar. You will likely find things
like n8n, automatisch, activepieces and more.

Yes. This is called an IRC bot. If youre lucky, there is one for your
services. If not, writing one is an easy and rewarding project.

The best thing about an IRC bot is that, unlike Discord, you don't
need a huge client library. I've seen (admittedly basic) clients
implemented in 10 lines of code, a bot might be even smaller...

Ive written bots in TCL, python, go and bash. The most complex part is
responding to ping, since that happens async usually.
