LXBG Complete is a self-hosted IRC community platform for building and operating your own browser-based chat network.

Unlike packages that rely on a third-party IRC daemon and separate IRC services, LXBG includes its own LXBGIRCd server and LXBG Services stack alongside the PHP/MySQL community application.

Complete IRC Community Platform

Run your own IRC network and community website with the included IRC daemon, services and web application.

Browser-Based Chat

Give community members access to IRC channels through a responsive web chat interface. Users can register, manage their accounts, join channels and communicate in real time.

WebRTC Webcam Functionality

Enable browser-based webcam functionality through integrated WebRTC support. Users need a compatible browser for this feature.

User Accounts and Community Profiles

Provide user registration, authentication and community profile functionality through the integrated application.

Administration Tools

Manage the community platform using its included administration tools, with a MySQL or MariaDB database backend.

Modular Architecture

Extend the platform through its modular structure, which includes the AdServ module.

Self-Hosted Server Control

Install the platform on your own Linux VPS or dedicated server and maintain control over the website, IRC network and database.

The package includes readable and editable source code together with installation and configuration documentation.
