What is quassel-webserver?
quassel-webserver is a Node.js web application that serves as a browser-based client for Quassel IRC. It connects to a separately hosted quasselcore instance and provides a responsive web UI with multiple themes (default and darksolarized). The server supports both HTTP and HTTPS modes, can run behind reverse proxies (nginx, Apache) via TCP or Unix socket, and offers configuration via a settings file. Installation options include git+npm, snap, NixOS module, and systemd/SysVinit service files. The project is licensed under MIT but is marked as not actively maintained.
