Hey Digital Man,

I'm in the process of building Synchronet into a Docker container (should make
it easier for folks to try it out - I'll provide some details how they can get
up and running when I have the container built).

Not sure if you have used Docker before, but one of the great things with
Docker is it forces you to consider applications, working space and data files.
In simple terms applications are static (the container represents a version of
an application), working space is where temp files are created (and in the case
of BBSes semaphore files would be created) and data is the persistent
configuration and data for the application (in BBS terms this would be the
config, mail areas and file areas, ansi/ascii files and menus..

I'll probably ping you on a few topics, my aim is to build a "lean" container
(smaller means easier to transfer) - as well as help understanding the
internals of Syncronet. (I've only beein playing with it for a week!)

First thing - the exec js files in ./exec/ are they by definition "static" -
they shouldnt be modified (unless you "upgrade")? I need to puth the "binaries"
in the container, and the "data" outside the container and I thought settings
SBBSCTRL would enable me to do that (ie: it would point to /opt/sbbs/data).
However, it seems the javascript files are found by the SBBSCTRL path?
