Several months ago I switched from MacOS to Fedora. Two things I really missed from MacOS that I thought didn't have a good alternative in Linux were Colloquy and Sequel Pro. The Lounge via Docker Container and https://applicationize.me/ https://applicationize.me/ : docker run --detach \ --name thelounge \ --publish 9100:9000 \ --volume ~/.config/thelounge:/home/lounge/data \ --env THELOUNGE_HOME=/home/lounge/data \ --restart always \ -u "$(id -u $USER):$(id -g $USER)" \ thelounge/lounge:latest solved my IRC itch, and it works even better than Colloquy. Still haven't found anything that comes close to Sequel Pro, though.

that's pretty slick, but you miss out on the best features (persistance/push notifications) if you're running it locally in a docker container.

  It connects to a ZNC server on DigitalOcean.

    Why not run thelounge on your VM then?

      Maybe for speed. Local lounge installation would feel more like a desktop app.

        Having Lounge reconnect to ZNC every time you start the app neglects any speed gains you'd have from running it locally. And it gives you overall a negative experience because unread markers and other things are reset.

why docker for such a small application? thelounge start

  Size doesn't matter. I don't have node or npm or ruby or PHP or go installed on my system, it's all in containers.

    seems like overkill
