For chat persistence, you can use TheLounge [1]

In my experience, the lounge leaks a lot of memory. After about 30 days of running, it used 8GB and the shared hoster I put it on killed it. Would definitely not recommend as bouncer.

If you have many users/channels, you can tweak `maxHistory`, which controls how many messages are kept in memory per channel for the backlog. That's where most of the memory usage comes from.

'Forget about bouncers', but how isn't this just a bouncer like ZNC, Irccloud etc?

[detaro]

I'd have defined a bouncer as something that also speaks IRC to the client.

I don't think irccloud does either?

[detaro]

Yes, Irccloud isn't a bouncer by that definition, but a hosted client.
