stlalpha/vision2bbsres repository overview

⁠ViSiON/2 - The Resurrection

This image runs a telnettable ViSiON/2 - The Resurrection BBS server inside Docker.

It is based upon these really excellent works by JGoerzen⁠:

• DOSEMU environment for Docker⁠
• general BBS template⁠ and dos-bbs-balance

This provides the full ViSiON/2 R1.0 setup in Drive G:

⁠Install and Run (docker)

You can install with:

docker pull stlalpha/vision2bbsres

And run with:

docker run -d -p 5901:5901 -p 23:23 --name bbs-v2 stlalpha/vision2bbsres

⁠Install and Run (docker-compose)

Save the following docker-compose.yml:

  ---
  version: "2.1"
  services:
   ViSiON-2:
     image: vision2bbsres
    container_name: bbs-v2
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=America/Chicago
      - VNCPASSWORD=muhbbspassword
    ports:
      - '23:23'
      - '5901:5901'
    restart: unless-stopped

And then...

bash$ docker-compose up -d

⁠Accessing and general commands

The image runs a VNC console on port 5901/tcp. You can connect to this console with any VNC client, on the mac you can use "Screen Sharing" and point it at hostname:5901.

By default, each invocation will generate a new VNC password. To retrieve the current password, execute:

$ docker logs bbs-v2|grep password

You can set an environment variable "VNCPASSWORD" to otherwise set a static value, as above in the docker-compose.yml.

bash% export VNCPASSWORD=mypassword
bashg% docker run -d -p 5901:5901 -p 23:23 --name bbs-v2 stlalpha/vision2bbsres
