I thought I'd share that I am running Mystic and MBSE both as a Docker
container on a Raspberry Pi 3+.
Why Docker? Mainly because I think Docker is awesome, but it also lets the
app "think" it has a full system, but you can cage it off. It also means if
any hacker breaks the app and gets into the container, they are caged as well.
By making the BBS's as Docker containers, its easy to setup a new one (to
play or whatever), with "docker run ..." and its a new BBS instance ready to
configure and run within a few seconds.
As a result of making the docker images, I packaged up BBS tools into Debian
packages. (MBSE BBS, GoldED, MakeNL) - so if you want to spin up a BBS to
play, you can grab my DEBs or my Docker Containers.
Info is on my BBS website: https://chinwag.leenooks.net - or drop me a
netmail :)
