I've been running SBBS in docker for a long time now - you might like to take a look at how "I did it".

My latest build is being used to create an SBBS Game Server to be used in a docker swarm (so that you can scale up the number of nodes across multiple hosts if required). In my build I also have the doorparty connector, so that you could make it a public game server.

If the game server is not what you need, it can still be a normal SBBS for messaging and optionally connecting to remote game servers.

Details on my build process is here:
http://dev.leenooks.net/bbs/sbbs - and if you look at the x86_64 or armv7l branches for details. (One day I'll merge it all back into master and make a multi-arch container, but havent got there yet...)

...лоеп

... Half Moon tonight.  (At least its better than no Moon at all.)
