DoorNode - BBS Door Server reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tdinchak · 2019-09-03 21:53 Hi everyone! I just released DoorNode, a small app that can act as a door game server. It uses Dosbox behind the scenes and can support multi-node games. It's really nice for running LORD or BRE on something like MajorBBS or WorldGroup software. Actually that's why I built it, I've recently put up a new board and wanted a seamless solution that could run in Linux using Dosbox. The code is up on GitHub, feel free to reach out if you need help getting it working. Currently it only supports RLogin but I'm open to building in support for additional protocols! I've got it up on my BBS, The Funknown BBS, if you want to see it in action (or if you just want to join in on some BRE, LORD, MajorMUD, etc :D) * DoorNode Code: https://github.com/dinchak/doornode * The Funknown BBS: http://fubbs.servebeer.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nolageek · 2019-09-04 12:48 This is really cool, thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nevarro · 2019-09-05 15:25 Definitely considering checking this out. Thanks alot! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- gen_angry · 2019-09-06 05:51 Nice :) Ill take a look at some point Thanks for sharing! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thetarasque · 2019-09-06 10:24 This is just fantastic! Is there a way to download a file from the browser? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- vr0n · 2019-09-06 13:02 I was actually thinking of building something like this to run door games on an RPi (given that dosbox will emulate x86). Nice one! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tdinchak · 2019-09-06 17:13 Thank you! Yes, click the "Clone or download" green button on this page, then "Download ZIP" and you should get the code without having to check it out w/ git: https://github.com/dinchak/doornode ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tdinchak · 2019-09-06 17:13 Thank you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tdinchak · 2019-09-06 17:14 Absolutely, it should work well for that. I have it running on a pretty underpowered VM on my local network and it works great. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tdinchak · 2019-09-06 17:14 Thank you!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- tdinchak · 2019-09-06 17:14 You got it, let me know if you have any questions.
