Robin’s homelab edition: first a quick follow-up on snac, then we dive into Proxmox for reviving old PCs, Portainer for hassle-free Docker management, and the best 2025 IRC stack (Soju bouncer + Halloy desktop + Goguma mobile) and using Libera.chat as a community hub.

• Tools I’m using for this podcast (sadly mostly not FOSS, yet)
• snac the micro-fedi server
• Proxmox
  • Community install scripts
  • Post-install script
• Portainer
• Soju IRC Bouncer
