I want to run a fully self-hosted, TLS-secured instance of KiwiIRC on my own Linux server and keep total control over every aspect of the stack. Your job starts with checking whether Node.js and Yarn are already in place; if they aren’t, install the correct, stable versions. From there you’ll pull the latest KiwiIRC client and gateway, wire them together, and make sure everything runs as a background service that survives reboots. TLS must be handled through Let’s Encrypt, including automatic renewals. I’ll point the DNS for the chosen domain or sub-domain wherever you tell me, but the certificate setup and verification flow should be completely automated once that’s done. When the core installation is stable I’d like a little polish: basic theme tweaks (logo, colours, default channel list) so I can see how to extend the look and feel later. Finally, hand over concise notes or a script that lets me repeat the deployment in the future and update the stack safely. Deliverables: • Verified installation (Node.js, Yarn, KiwiIRC client + gateway) running on Linux • Let’s Encrypt certificates issued, auto-renew configured, traffic forced to HTTPS • Services registered to start automatically on boot (systemd) • Minimal front-end customisation applied and documented • A reproducible deployment script or step-by-step read-me I will give you SSH access as soon as we start and can test everything on the spot. Looking forward to a smooth rollout.
