I was planning on using weechat and the relay extension for a simple, all-in-one package. Currently I just use IRC for tech support, especially with Alpine linux.
Biboumi seems like a good idea if I wanted to set up a server and I'll keep it bookmarked. I'm still back and forth about an IRC server so that idea has gone into the bonus category for now. I think Snikket would be a service that's far more accessible and easier to share with the people I want using it.
I do like that it has xmpp support. I assume it would go well with Snikket.
Snikket isn't really meant to be customized with other components right now, but it is possible to get Biboumi working with it.
Most people use Biboumi as a bouncer for external IRC networks, but of course it also works with a self-hosted IRC server.
