frozenfoxx/enigma-bbs repository overview

⁠ENiGMA BBS

Docker container that runs ENiGMA½ BBS Software⁠. All required packages for ENiGMA½ to run successfully are included, and pm2-docker is used to manage the Node.js process.

Docker Hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/frozenfoxx/enigma-bbs⁠

⁠Quick Start

Assuming that you have Docker installed, run the following command:

docker run -d \
  -p 8888:8888 \
  frozenfoxx/enigma-bbs

As no config has been supplied the container will use a basic one so that it starts successfully. ENiGMA½ listens via telnet on port 8888. Connect and try it out!

⁠A Proper Setup

So you've decided ENiGMA½ (and Docker) is for you, and you want a "proper" setup. There are a few things you need to do:

1. Create a directory on your Docker host machine to store ENiGMA½ data, e.g. ~/my_sweet_bbs. Within that, create directories for the mountable volumes - art, config, db, filebase, logs, mail and mods.

2. Create the following files within the config directory you created. See the ENiGMA½ docs for available options.

• config.hjson
• menu.hjson
• prompt.hjson

1. Copy any customizations such as themes and mods, to the mods directory.

   You should end up with a structure something like the following:

   ├── config
   │   ├── config.hjson
   │   ├── my_menus.hjson
   │   └── my_prompts.hjson
   ├── db
   ├── filebase
   ├── logs
   ├── mail
   ├── mods
   │   └── awesome_mod
   └── art
       ├── general
       └── themes
           └── sick_theme
   

   Copy

2. Start the container:

   docker run -d \
       -p 8888:8888 \
       -v ~/my_sweet_bbs/art:/enigma-bbs/art \
       -v ~/my_sweet_bbs/config:/enigma-bbs/config \
       -v ~/my_sweet_bbs/db:/enigma-bbs/db \
       -v ~/my_sweet_bbs/filebase:/enigma-bbs/filebase \
       -v ~/my_sweet_bbs/logs:/enigma-bbs/logs \
       -v ~/my_sweet_bbs/filebase:/enigma-bbs/filebase \
       -v ~/my_sweet_bbs/mods:/enigma-bbs/mods \
       -v ~/my_sweet_bbs/mail:/mail \
       frozenfoxx/enigma-bbs
   

   Copy
