Step 1: Update the FreeBSD Package Repository.
sudo pkg update
Step 2: Install ngircd Package.
sudo pkg install ngircd
Step 3: Open ngircd Configuration File.
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf
Step 4: Make necessary changes to ngircd Configuration File.
The ngircd Configuration File contains various settings like server name, server description, and listen address. You can make necessary changes as per your requirements.
Step 5: Start ngircd Server.
sudo service ngircd start

Congratulations! You have successfully installed ngircd on FreeBSD. You can now connect to the ngircd server using an IRC client.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
