Fits your stack
Works as a static page on core01 and leaves room for The Lounge, channel policies, status panels, or future network integrations.

Frequently asked questions
These answers are written to feel complete out of the box. Replace them later if you want exact network policy wording.
Is there a web client?
Yes. The page assumes you may expose The Lounge at /lounge or on a separate chat subdomain. You can update the links once that route is live.
Should users connect with TLS?
Yes. Port 6697 is presented as the recommended secure connection option and should be the default path for most users.
Can this work behind Apache on core01?
Yes. It is a normal static HTML page and can be served directly from your vhost document root or reverse-proxied environment without special dependencies.
Can I add server stats later?
Yes. The layout leaves plenty of room for user counts, channel counts, server banners, service notices, or a status widget.
