How to host IRC server in render.com and connect custom IRC client to it?

I have tried different packages like ircd.js and ergo hosting on render.com but I’ve been failing to connect it to the IRC client.

Hi Pyakhurel,

Two thoughts immediately come to mind;

  1. Render only answers external (over the public internet) requests over standard HTTP ports (80/443), and also issued an HTTP redirect for plain HTTP requests to use HTTPS instead. No other ports are connectable.
  2. Web Services are meant to be Web Services, so it’s very likely that IRC communication would be munged in the process.

If ircd.js is supposed to play nicely in a web environment, perhaps the second point isn’t a problem. I can’t comment on anything about IRC, ircd.js, ergo hosting, but I can tell you about how Render functions.
