I wonder how it compares with Ergo IRC Server. Seems to take the more minimalistic approach.

It uses systemd services. My understanding is that it aims to have the applications installed in the most straightforward way possible - avoiding containers where possible.

Looks like YunoHost, but hearing about the licensing issues, I’ll stick with YunoHost.

I did! Don’t expect too much stability out of it, but I was surprised to say that the latest version worked pretty stable and nicely for me. I can definitely recommend it.
