A retro-inspired BBS system built with C#, bridging the vintage computing era with modern technologies.

• Install Docker
• Put your Bbs source files in a folder (for ex. /opt/bbs)
• start container with

docker run -v /opt/bbs:/data:ro -p 23:23 -p 8502:8502 ghcr.io/intoinside/retronet-bbs:main

Every bbs must have a file called index.md. It is the main presentation file from which you can navigate the content offered.

You can start with a simple file with this content:

# Hello world!

Each time you change the content, you need to restart the server/container.

There are three type of links that can be made.

• link to another md page
