terminald

Small BBS served over SSH and Telnet. Content is plain Markdown with YAML frontmatter, rendered with ANSI colors. No HTTP, no database.

Build & run

go build -o terminald ./cmd/terminald
./terminald

or:

docker compose up -d --build

The SSH host key is generated on first run at data/host_key.

Connect

ssh guest@localhost -p 2200
telnet localhost 4223

Any username works, no password. The session drops straight into the BBS.
