The Lounge IRC client on Cloudron

[LoudLemur]

The Lounge works very well. Thanks for supporting it (and IRC) on Cloudron.

The defaults seem to point to Freenode. That is a bit old-hat now. Might it be possible to make the default libera.chat?

Doesn't seem like there is a Cloudron IRC channel.

@LoudLemur good catch! Let me see where this default comes from. Freenode basically got bought and taken over right?

Upstream has changed the default to:

    defaults: {
        name: "Libera.Chat",
        host: "irc.libera.chat",
        port: 6697,
        password: "",
        tls: true,
        rejectUnauthorized: true,
        nick: "thelounge%%",
        username: "thelounge",
        realname: "",
        join: "#thelounge",
        leaveMessage: "",
    },

You can fix up your existing install /app/data/config.js with the above section. I am publishing a new package which will change the default.

Fixed now.

@girish Yes, the founder of PIA (Private Internet Access) bought Freenode, volunteer staff resigned when he removed a post of their complaints.
