    From geos_one@21:1/999 to All on Thu Apr 25 15:41:19 2024
    Over the last month i have created a setup script that would install Mystic with all the dependencies onto Debian Bookworm (schoudl also work with Buster or Bullseye)
    * Mystic
    * cryptlib
    * Systemd Files
    * Mrc Client
    * Spellcheck
    * fail2ban
    * dosemu2
    * ip2location downlaod script
    * and my scripts that would integrate all the parts.

    any feedback is welcome

    Very cool, I'm playing with Mystic on a VPS now, will blow it away and try your script out.

    What I'm curious about is how to port over messages and files from Synchronet to Mystic - I have a ton of file areas and message areas that I don't want to have to create from scratch.

    Very cool! Although I already have a Mystic installation, I think I will have a look at the dosemu2 stuff later on... :)

    Best regards

    Mystic supports FIDONET.NA and FILEBONE.NA style files. You should be able to export your message and file areas from Synchronet into FIDONET.NA format, and import them into mystic with the "Import FIDONET.NA" stanza in mutil.ini.

    The actual message base data and contents are not the same between the two, so I believe in order to port over the messages, you would probably have to setup an FTN link with your Synchronet board and do a %RESCAN of everything. Preferrably *before* you hook it up to FTN networks, so as to not flood <insert network name here> with old messages.

    As for file areas, again export your file areas to a FILEBONE.NA style file (might have to edit the directories if you switch the structure from something like /synchronet/files to /mystic/files), import the areas into Mystic, then copy your entire file directory structure over and use Mystic's mass upload files stanza.

    HTH

    you could run the MUTIL functions to import JAM bases for message areas and there's always the bulk upload of files into areas also :)

    thats the problem the arm64 repo don't contain the python2.7 repo
    only amd64 is working correctly at the moment
    i think i need to add a of arch arm/x86 then no dosemu/bookworm
    i only have testet the script on amd64.
