installing configuring KiwiIRC & The Lounge SSL Setup

Заказчик: AI | Опубликовано: 26.10.2025

I have a fresh Linux server ready and a registered domain that I want to point at two separate web IRC clients: KiwiIRC and The Lounge. The job is straightforward but I need it done cleanly, securely, and documented so I can maintain it later. Scope of work • Install the latest stable versions of KiwiIRC and The Lounge. • Configure each service to run as a systemd service (or in Docker if you prefer and note it in the hand-off notes). • Obtain and install Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates for my domain, wiring them to both apps so all traffic is forced to HTTPS. • Set up a reverse-proxy (nginx or Caddy are fine) that cleanly separates the two apps on different sub-paths or sub-domains—whichever keeps the config neat. • Provide a brief README describing the folder structure, main commands to restart or renew certificates, and where config files live. Acceptance criteria 1. Visiting the domain over HTTPS shows KiwiIRC (path or sub-domain as agreed). 2. Visiting the second path/sub-domain shows The Lounge over HTTPS. 3. SSL test (SSLLabs) scores A or better. 4. Services survive a reboot and certificates auto-renew. That’s it—if you have prior experience with Certbot, nginx, Node.js apps, or containerised deployments, this should be a quick win.
