mash-playbook VS modern-irc

Sometimes the easiest and quickest way to try (or even deploy) a new service is by using the recommended docker-compose-setup that they often have as an example. But if you have an existing infrastructure, like we do with the great mother of all self-hosting ansible playbooks, this isn't always easy to integrate. In particular when that infrastructure is managed and started and stopped independently from the additional docker-compose you intend to add. Lucky, who is running their out-most proxy using traefik, because with just a few extra labels your docker-compose becomes available TLS-certs included.

Yes! And don't forget MASH [0], its a collection of Ansible roles that is compatible with the Matrix Docker Ansible Deploy playbook. In case you want to add more services to your Matrix server.

This is why I like https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook and its associated Ansible roles for configuring various services.

All the portability of Docker, plus (something close to) the ease of use of installing a distro package like an .rpm or .deb.

I use Authentik. Is speaks LADP, OICD, OAUTH and SAML so most use cases are already included. For everything else there is the option of using a proxy provider with an appropriate webserver that uses [Forward aut](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/middlewares/http/forwardauth/). I never used Forward Auth but the general setup is discussed here: https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook/issues/50

You're not allowed null bytes in IRC messages: https://modern.ircdocs.horse/#parameters

Some IRC servers (especially those written in C) may interpret it as a line end, so you would have a similar issue

https://modern.ircdocs.horse/ is based on both 1459 and 2812, and describes the protocol shared by all current implementations. If you see any inaccuracy, please open a ticket at https://github.com/ircdocs/modern-irc/ so we can fix it.

You might wanna check it out. Things like code quotes and expand/collapse would be cool to add. I think some clients already support emoji as it's just UTF8?

It's common for IRC users to use IRC from a terminal client on their desktop. If they have a remote server, they'll use a screen session to keep their IRC client running in the background and re-open it when they want. Or they'll keep an eggdrop bot on a server somewhere, which is basically a sorta IRC proxy that they connect to from their desktop and can keep their user online in the background.
