Enigma 1-2 is an open-source BBS (Bulletin Board System) software written in Node.js. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps of installing Enigma 1-2 BBS on Void Linux.
Before we start, ensure that you have the following prerequisites:
Before installing Enigma 1-2, we need to ensure that Node.js and NPM are installed on our system. To install Node.js and NPM on Void Linux, execute the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S nodejs npm
Next, we need to install the dependencies required for Enigma 1-2. To install the required dependencies, execute the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S gcc git make
Once the dependencies are installed, we can download and install Enigma 1-2 from the official GitHub repository. To do this, execute the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/nuskooler/enigma-bbs.git
cd enigma-bbs
npm install
After the installation is complete, we can run Enigma 1-2 by executing the following command:
npm start
This will start Enigma 1-2 on your machine. You can then access it via your web browser at http://localhost:8080.
Once you have Enigma 1-2 running, you will need to configure it to suit your needs. To do this, navigate to the enigma-bbs directory and edit the config/config.js file:
cd enigma-bbs
nano config/config.js
In this file, you can modify various settings such as the system name, welcome message, and user registration settings.
Enigma 1-2 is now installed and configured on your Void Linux system. You can now start exploring its features and customizing it to suit your needs. Happy BBS-ing!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
