How to build and deliver an MCP server for production
In December of 2024, we published a blog with Anthropic about their totally new spec (back then) to run tools with AI agents: the Model Context Protocol, or MCP. Since then, we’ve seen an explosion in developer appetite to build, share, and run their tools with Agentic AI – all using MCP. We’ve seen new […] ⌘ Read more

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz At the core, you need an ngircd.conf like this:
[Global]
Name = your.irc.server.com
Password = yourfancypassword
Listen = 0.0.0.0
Ports = 6667
AdminInfo1 = Well, me.
AdminInfo2 = Over here!
AdminEMail = forget.it@example.invalid
[Options]
Ident = no
PAM = no
[SSL]
CertFile = /etc/ssl/acme/your.irc.server.com.fullchain.pem
KeyFile = /etc/ssl/acme/private/your.irc.server.com.key
DHFile = /etc/ngircd/dhparam.pem
Ports = 6669
Start it and then you can connect on port 6667. (The SSL cert/key must be managed by an external tool, probably something like certbot or acme-client.)
I’m assuming OpenBSD here. Haven’t tried it on Linux lately, let alone Docker. 😅
i am writing a quick little guide on deploying soju/gamja all in docker. because i am bored
@prologic@twtxt.net oooh this looks interesting!!! maybe i could play around with it in docker and see how to integrate it with caddy layer4 for TLS + my existing web client and bouncer!!
hey everyone i’ve spent my whole day trying to set up soju + gamja in docker and now i am down a rabbit hole of building caddy with layer4 support and trying to get TLS for my IRC server and NOTHING IS WORKING
@bender@twtxt.net awww thank you :‘))) you all are too nice!!! i really wanted to share how i did this because i think i’m the first person to publicly attempt a production instance of dreamwidth code in docker, so i’m glad i did a good job at documenting it!!!!!!!
7k words of docs on deploying a livejournal folk. you absolutely want to read 7 thousand words of me forcing dreamwidth into production shape in docker https://stash.4-walls.net/selfhostdw/
