How can I run my own instance of this

I'm a bit shy and have never told the MIT Scheme community about this software. Maybe they'd be happy to see a real world usage for their language, as modest as it is. I was waiting for 10.1 to be usable, there are many improvements that I need to implement the original mock-up. It was realeased only a few weeks after SchemeBBS. I announced it in a single post on tinychan and lainchain and never reached out real Scheme communities. I will try to hangout on IRC. My understanding is that Chris Hanson is doing all the work and I don't want to harass him.

Without the need for the http-syntax patch, the installation would be something really simple:

git clone https://gitlab.com/naughtybits/schemebbs.git
cd schemebbs
./createboard.sh "prog" "lounge" "jp" "woodcrafting" # (1)
./init.sh 8080

(1) It's trivial to turn SchemeBBS into an infinite boards bbs where a user can create themself new boards on a dynamically generated web page. It was designed with that in mind but it had to be removed because the boards were deployed on an unattended $4/mo VPS.

I've also removed the hard dependency on Nginx. Tight coupling is a very bad idea, even for little hacks. It brought a lot of confusion and sadly prevented interested users to just try to run it. If someone really wants to use the CSS switcher, it's in the commit history and they can use the nginx.conf provided in this thread (and there's nothing in there that Apache cannot do)

I'm not fond of installing software from the Net with curl install.sh | sudo bash but I could provide such a script.
