Introduction

Synchronet (known as SBBS) is an all encompassing bulletin board software written by Rob Swindell that includes many integrated features such as servers for smtp, ftp, nntp (news), www, gopher plus more, along with QWK and Fidonet compatibility.

It compiles cleanly on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Linux release which is available to any home user and many VPS providers.

In this wiki, I will walk you through setting up SBBS from start to finish including everything you need to get going on the Linux side.

Since you have chosen to use Linux, I'll assume that you know the basics such as how to edit files using vim or other editor of your choice, how to change directories, list, copy, and find files and other basic tasks. At the very least if you're unable to login as root then maybe you should try the Windows version.
