The Linux version doesn't have a control panel like the Windows version, which is why I wrote my own that does largely the same thing...

Not that I am aware of. The only CP that I am aware of is the one for the windows version of Synchronet.

It looks kinda similar to the dos based bbses wfc screen from the olden days. Very basically designed.
Linux uses a DOS based kinda system anyways, so that would be about right I guess.

I've heard of people getting Synchronet to work on Raspberry Pi systems, but it would require rebuilding Synchronet on it. And from what I've heard, I don't think you'd be able to run DOS doors on it.
I seem to remember hearing from others that there are problems
running DOS doors on Raspberry Pi systems. The main issue is
that it has to not only emulate DOS, but it also has to emulate
an x86 processor. When the system already has an x86 processor,
it's easier to do.
I have made a raspian iso with Synchronet 3.17 and Mystic pre installed. and I believe there is a DOS emulator for the raspberry PI so it might be able to run DOS doors, I havent tried that, it does have the synchronet DOORs though.

I did run some old BBS soft in Dosbox on a Pi without any problems (biggest problem was to remember the DOS commands and configuring dosbox). It was just a brief test though and I have no idea how to setup a door in a dosbox executed within a unix bbs. x86 emulation on an ARM cpu doesn't seem to be a problem and should be fast enough for most BBS doors.
I'm not sure what you mean by "DOS based kinda system".. And Linux is signific
ntly different behind the scenes than DOS. You couldn't just take a DOS progra
and run it on Linux - You'd need DOSEmu or some other emulator.
Maybe he means that you can have a cli driven system, like DOS was, without an X window system. You cannot really do that with Windows any more.

I've seen server versions of Windows that don't have a GUI.. At least, notmuch of a GUI - I've seen ones that
basically just let you open command prompt windows.
There is a headless version of windows server that doesn't have a GUI, iirc, it's the basis of the windows containers... of course since windows desktops only support windows or linux containers in docker desktop, I've never actually tried anything other than a linux container for docker engine.
I didn't know Microsoft was using Docker. I knew Windows server versions
Yup, you can run docker on alot of OSes.
On linux, its native, onother OS's, under the covers
(IIRC).docker containers.

have some built-in supportfor running VMs though. A long
Microsoft bought Virtual PCfrom Connectix, and I thought
Microsoft was using fortheir VM host software in
In Windows it's Hyper-V, in Mac
they have something similar.
Only thing to be aware of is
volume mounts are not direct
and best not to do a database
with a desktop volume, it won't
be pretty. It's actually doing
an fs sync in Mac and Windows
for desktop volumes.
Nope, Hyper-V is virtual machines, which is not docker containers.

They use Hyper-V as their
general hypervisor for
virtualization. Windows server
and Windows pro also can add
support for Windows containers
+ docker. And there's
experimental support for Linux
containers with docker on
Windows that's a more direct
integration with Hyper-V.
Yes because when Linus Torvaus(sp?) started developing Linux back in themid

windows GUI around it which became Linux. He also believed that the OS andits

I don't think that's very accurate, but if you believe it then it explains your statement that "Linux uses a DOS based kinda system anyways", so okay.

i think the key factor you're leaving out is that you're writing from a mobile device with a narrow screen width...

ecWeb or the old legacy/runemaster web UI? Whatever it is, its doing something unexpected with line-wrapping.

The Runemaster interface would do that for me when I used to use it. I think it had something to do with the width of the text box used for message input.

It's the old legacy web ui... I'm using the browser on my phone, not a great experience, but can go through messages watching TV... it's on my personal TODO to re-create the web ui/ux in a more scalable UX.
May get ecWeb running, and see how that does... should be a better experience.
Yeah, if you can't fit the entire 80x25 edit window in your browser, thenecWeb would be a much better
experience. Heck, ecWeb is better for most uses.

Funny enough, I can't seem to login from my phone using ecweb... not sure how it works... for now, using a desktop with local connection over ssh tunnel.

Which version of ecWeb? Works for me w/ecwebv4 at web.synchro.net. There's
a "Log in" option in the upper-right drop-down (hamburger) menu.
