About Enigma 1/2 BBS

Enigma 1/2 BBS is a bulletin board system server that brings the classic BBS experience to modern networks. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and supports telnet, SSH, and a built-in web server for browser access. You can connect with old-school terminal clients or a modern web browser.

It includes file bases, message areas, multi-user chat, and a scripting engine for custom doors and games. Enigma supports FTN and QWK networking, letting you link with other boards. The system uses a SQLite or MySQL backend and can be extended with JavaScript. It was created by NuSkooler and is actively maintained on GitHub.

This is a good pick for hobbyists who want to run a retro BBS without old hardware, or for sysadmins experimenting with text-based community software. It is open source under the BSD 2-Clause license, completely free to use and modify.
