I can provide a stand alone box running any OS parallel with my windows box
if thats makes things easier . 32 or 64 bit . let me know and ill prep a box
as soon as next week . let me know what OS you want .
i really dont like VM's but i can do what ever is best .

Tying to make sure I understand the network so all hubs toss and poll hub 1
or are we all polling each other and letting dupes sort it out . Also whos using what
Hub 2 is windows 64 with mystic mailer what is every one else using .
thanks

NET 1,3,4 are using a combo of BinkD, HPT and Htick for mailer, tosser and files respectively.

NET 2 (you :) is currently on Mystic but my desire would be to shift off this and run the same software as 1,3, and 4.

NET 5 is running Wildcat server stuff in conjunction with BinkD mailer. I
don't propose any changes to that.

In most cases the NETs are meshed with HUBs sending to all and dupes being
part of the overhead and caught at the HUB end.

Once we have had a tidy up of nodes I'd like to work with you to migrate to
the different software (if you are happy to do so)

Deon has created a Docker instance being used in NET 4 and 3 that I think we should be able to install and run under Windows to work on and set up for NET
2 then cut over once ready. In doing this we could retain the box you run as
a Windows machine but essentially run on top of it a Linux setup for the NET
2 HUB. That's my understanding (correct me if I am wrong Deon :)) We would
need to check the Windows box has specs that work for Docker. I expect it would.

For NET 1 I have manually installed stuff on a Linux box and am learning by doing vs using Deon's Docker image. I went that way because I wanted to
endure the pain and joy of it all hahahah..

Flick me a netmail and we can chat further over the specifics, next steps etc. that work for you and the NET 2 setup.

Hope this reply helps.

Best, Paul

I would love to see that, I'm playing with Docker now and separating out my BBS and hub/mailer duties in a streamlined manner would be great.

I'd love to have my hub running in a container on my VPS and have my BBS acting as a node on my home network.

That's my setup :) (except my hub and bbs are at home - but I may move the hub out to a VPS I have).

Your welcome to play with my container.

Inside is binkd/hpt/golded. I even have crashmail and jamnntpd in it if you want to play with that (although I dont use it, so the image may need to be tweaked for it).

Running the image is as simple as:

docker run -p (ports to map) -v (persistent storage from the host) <image>.

If you are adventurous, you could also run it in a swarm. (I had it in a swarm when it was on the Pi).

My startup is this:

#!/bin/sh

MACHINE=$(uname -m)
SRC=/srv/docker/fidohub IMAGE=registry.leenooks.net/bbs/fidohub:latest-${MACHINE}

# --rm \
# --ip6=2001:8003:4c06:5742:f1d0:a:1:1 \
# MAC Address used because ip6= is not working
docker run \
-dt \
--name=fidohub \
--restart unless-stopped \
--hostname=fidohub.leenooks.net \
--cap-add=NET_ADMIN \
--sysctl net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=0 \
--mac-address=00:0a:00:01:00:01 \
-e ENABLE_ZT=1 \
-p 13119:119 \
-p 13553:24553 \
-p 13554:24554 \
-p 13177:60177 \
-p 13179:60179 \
-v ${SRC}/binkd:/etc/binkd \
-v ${SRC}/cron/cron.daily:/etc/cron.daily \
-v ${SRC}/ifmail:/etc/ifmail \
-v ${SRC}/ftn:/etc/ftn \
-v ${SRC}/fido:/fido \
-v ${SRC}/jamnntpd:/etc/jamnntpd \
-v ${SRC}/qico:/etc/qico \
-v ${SRC}/tools:/usr/local/tools \
-v ${SRC}/log:/var/log/fido \
-v ${SRC}/zerotier:/var/lib/zerotier-one \
${IMAGE} $@

And all my config for the container, is on my host at /srv/docker/fidohub.
