MagickaBBS

Linux/FreeBSD bulletin board system (Should also work on NetBSD and OpenBSD, if it doesn't it's a bug)

As I lost the code to my initial BBS flea, I've decided to start over from scratch and this time I'm using git hub so I dont lose it again!

Magicka is meant to be a modern (haha) BBS system, using modern technologies, like Sqlite, IRC, long filenames (gasp!) etc while still retaining the classic BBS feel. ANSI & Telnet, and good old ZModem.

If you want to install Magicka BBS, follow these steps.

  1. Ensure you have git, c compiler, sqlite-dev and gnu make
  2. Clone the repo git clone https://github.com/apamment/MagickaBBS
  3. Build JamLib

cd MagickaBBS/jamlib

make -f Makefile.linux (Linux) gmake -f Makefile.linux (*BSD)

  1. Build libzmodem

cd MagickaBBS/Xmodem

make (Linux) gmake (*BSD)

  1. Build the BBS (You may have to adjust the Makefile for your system)

make (Linux) gmake (*BSD)

  1. Copy the config-default directory to a config directory.

cp -r config-default config

  1. Edit the config files and update essential information, like system paths and BBS name etc
  2. Copy the ansi-default directory to the one specified in your system path

eg.

cp -r ansi-default ansi

  1. Run Magicka BBS on a port over 1024 (Below require root, and we're not ready for that).

./magicka config/bbs.ini 2300

  1. Your BBS is now running on port 2300, log in and create yourself an account! (By default there is only one security level, you can add more, but you will need to use an SQLite Manager to modify users.sq3 and set security levels, as there is no user editor yet.
