Today, I have a split stack:

InspIRCd runs my underlying daemon
Anope manages channels & user authentication to AniNIX/Password (LDAP)
Bots provide services
- TheRaven has my developed utility
- bitbot offers webhooks
- npm's discord-irc provides a bridge between cloud Discord and my daemon.
KiwiIRC provides a limited webapp access for users.

The problem is that Discord is becoming increasingly problematic, from breaches leaking user data to intrusive age verification that is fundamentally incompatible with the 4th & 5th Amendments and my user ethics.

I should be migrating my community to a better self-hosted stack.

I will replace both Discord & KiwiIRC with Fluxer
I will still stitch IRC to Fluxer with Lightening bridge

This will require #17 prior to deployment, with the Docker requirements for both the bridge & Fluxer. When the new ecosystem is up...

I'll set a date to cut the community over & mark the Discord server read-only.
I'll swap the web config from Kiwi to Fluxer
I can then decom the old components (discord-irc, KiwiIRC, etc.)

I may be able to drop bitbot and the ravensend-daemon functionality if Fluxer can receive the necessary webhooks from the rest of the stack at the time.
