Mystic BBS is great software to get up and running and get (back) into the BBS scene.
There is a wealth of information on the wiki, or you can even go through Mystic Guy's YouTube videos.
If you would like to get up and running quickly, I've created some Docker Images which you can use as a starting point. The images are available for Raspberry Pi (ARM) and Intel.
There are two images:
| Name | Information |
|---|---|
| armv7l | This image is a clean installation of Mystic BBS as provided by the upstream developer. It does have the pre-requisites so that spell is enabled and cryptlib is also installed so that you can use SSH based connections. |
| armv7l-extras | This image extends the base image and provides some doors and utilities. |
| x86_64 | Just like the image above, however, this is for Intel Linux platforms. |
| x86_64-extras | This image extends the base image and provides some doors and utilities. |
To get the images, just install docker onto your Linux platform, and then do
docker pull registry.leenooks.net/leenooks/mysticbbs:1.12a39-[TAG ABOVE]
To make sure your data is kept between re-creations of your docker container, you have two options:
- Start your mystic container with
-v [HOST PATH]:/mystic/data, or - Start your subsequent containers with
--volumes_from=[ORIG CONTAINER]. In this case, you might want to rename your old container if you want to use the same container name.
You could even use this image to have our containers in a docker swarm (as I do).
If you need any help, login to my BBS and send me a message, or if you use another BBS, or a Sysop of a BBS and connected to one of the networks I'm connected to, you can send me a Netmail. See the list of networks that I'm already connected to.
