# MagickaBBS
|
|
Linux/FreeBSD bulletin board system (Should also work on NetBSD and OpenBSD, if it doesn't it's a bug)
|
|
|
|
As I lost the code to my initial BBS flea, I've decided to start over from scratch and this time I'm using git hub so I dont
|
|
lose it again!
|
|
|
|
Magicka is meant to be a modern (haha) BBS system, using modern technologies, like Sqlite3, IRC, long filenames (gasp!) etc
|
|
while still retaining the classic BBS feel. ANSI & Telnet, and good old ZModem.
|
|
|
|
If you want to install Magicka BBS, follow these steps.
|
|
|
|
1. Ensure you have git, c compiler, libsqlite3-dev, libreadline-dev and gnu make
|
|
|
|
`sudo apt-get install build-essential libsqlite3-dev libreadline-dev git`
|
|
|
|
should work on debian and debian derivatives.
|
|
2. Clone the repo `git clone https://github.com/apamment/MagickaBBS`
|
|
3. Build JamLib
|
|
|
|
`cd MagickaBBS/jamlib`
|
|
|
|
|
|
`make -f Makefile.linux` (Linux) `gmake -f Makefile.linux` (*BSD)
|
|
|
|
3. Build libzmodem
|
|
|
|
`cd MagickaBBS/Xmodem`
|
|
|
|
|
|
`make` (Linux) `gmake` (*BSD)
|
|
|
|
4. Build LUA
|
|
|
|
`cd MagickaBBS/lua`
|
|
|
|
`make linux` (Linux) `gmake freebsd` (FreeBSD)
|
|
|
|
5. Build the BBS (You may have to adjust the Makefile for your system)
|
|
|
|
`make -f Makefile.linux` (Linux) `gmake -f Makefile.freebsd` (FreeBSD)
|
|
|
|
6. Make a directory for logs.
|
|
|
|
`mkdir logs`
|
|
|
|
7. Copy the config-default directory to a config directory.
|
|
|
|
`cp -r config_default config`
|
|
|
|
8. Edit the config files and update essential information, like system paths and BBS name etc
|
|
9. Copy the ansi-default directory to the one specified in your system path
|
|
|
|
eg.
|
|
|
|
`cp -r ansi_default ansis`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Run Magicka BBS on a port over 1024 (Below require root, and we're not ready for that).
|
|
|
|
`./magicka config/bbs.ini 2300`
|
|
|
|
11. Your BBS is now running on port 2300, log in and create yourself an account! (By default there is only one security level, you can add more,
|
|
but you will need to use an SQLite Manager to modify users.sq3 and set security levels, as there is no user editor yet.
