 What is soon?
 I have four RPi's running Fido for some years now. They all use the SDcard
 as storage. The all carry all echo areas my main node offers, wich is far
 more than what you are connected to. All run headless.

 Node 2:280/5006  Binkd - fidogate as main node
                  hpt - Golded - as directory coupled point system
                  smapinntpd on the same messagebase

 Point system1    Binkd - hpt - jammnntpd
 Point system2    MBSE
 Point system3    Binkd - hpt - Golded - smapinntpd

 In progress      Binkd in a Docker container - HPT and Golded are next.

 They all run without supervision or manual maintenance.
