OxideBBSA modern BBS for sysops

ANSI/CP437 callers, browser terminal, telnet, DOS doors, file areas, DecentDB persistence, FTN/BinkP, and OxideNet in one server.

Sysop-first setup

Start with Docker, use packaged release binaries, or build from source only when you need local patches.

Remote callers are treated as byte-oriented terminal users, with ANSI art, CP437 line art, plain fallback screens, and C64-friendly profiles.

The optional /terminal surface gives LAN and reverse-proxy deployments a browser caller path with ZMODEM support.

Local DOS doors run through DOSEMU2 COM1 drop-file sessions, with per-node runtime isolation and persistent door working directories.

Sysops can create file areas, import files, review uploads, and offer caller ZMODEM or negotiated XMODEM downloads.

Built-in FTN packet processing, BinkP polling/listening, AreaFix, nodelists, and first-party OxideNet workflows.

Use the CLI or Ratatui sysop console for users, nodes, messages, doors, files, logs, audits, database checks, and network operations.

Users, sessions, messages, files, doors, audits, and network state live in DecentDB with backup, export, import, and compact commands.
