Renegade BBS

This image runs a telnettable Renegade BBS server inside Docker.

It is based upon:

• My DOSEMU environment for Docker
• My general BBS template, jgoerzen/dos-bbs and the dos-bbs-balance
• The Renegade BBS

This provides the full v1.20 setup in Drive G:.

Install and Run

You can install with:

docker pull jgoerzen/bbs-renegade

And run with:

docker run -d -p 5901:5901 -p 23:23 --name bbs-renegade jgoerzen/bbs-renegade

Accessing and general commands

For details, see the dos-bbs generic info.

Installed Files

This image is built upon the extensive collection in jgoerzen/dos-bbs. Please see that page for details on DOS and the underlying configuration.

Renegade itself is installed in G:\RG.

See the jgoerzen/dos-bbs documentation for more.

VNC console and telnet ports

The jgoerzen/dos-bbs will describe this. Please refer to it.

The node basically does this to start up a Renegade instance:

h:
cd ADF
lh adf COM1 3F8  4 115200 8192  8192  8   (load the FOSSIL driver)
g:
cd rg
renegade -N3 -Q -B115200   (where 3 is the node number)

You can start up the DOS console with dosconsole. To access the Renegade config system, run the above commands, except at the end, omit the -Q -B115200.

You can connect to the local BBS with ATDTlocalhost.
