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... :)

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

Nick

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 :)

Hello geos_one!

Replying to a msg dated 25 Apr 24 15:41, from you to all.

I get this error message and the installation is not successful. It is a Raspberry CM4 module with 8 GB Ram and 32 GB eMMC Flash on which a Debian Bookworm is installed.

Do you have an idea or do you need more information to solve this problem?
