• I just made a cool Mystic app

    From MeaTLoTioN@21:1/158 to All on Thursday, February 21, 2019 14:41:44
    Hey y'all,

    I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but last week I registered a domain "bbsforever.com" and I've written an app for Mystic that can add/edit/delete dns entries for a domain name.

    Right now, on my BBS I have it set up so that if you want a subdomain off of "bbsforever.com" you can just log in, add an entry and it'll be live within a few moments (dns propagation dependent of course).

    As an example I've used it to set up "tqw.bbsforever.com" to point to my bbs domain of "bbs.erb.pw". It uses the CNAME record type.

    I've opened this up to anyone who would like to use it, as a way to say thank you to all the people who have shown me help and support and kindness with my BBSing woes and wins.

    If you haven't already logged on to my BBS, head over there soon and you'll find the applicaton in the doors menu for now until I re-organise my BBS
    (which will be happening soon too i'm sure).

    That's very kind and what a neat idea Christian. I'll try an login tonight to have a play :)

    I enjoyed doing it, I've had a lot of help over the last few months with all the setups and stuff, and more recently some great advice in the coding side,
    I just wanted to give something back you know.

    I have changed the menu item hotkey but it will be obvious which one it is =) It's still in the doors menu but now its on hotkey '!'.

    Thanks! I wanted to do it to give something back to the community that has helped me so much over the last few months with getting my BBS set up, linked to fsxNet, started my own "otherNet" (tqwNet), and in the last week or two started coding stuff for my BBS.

    Feel free to pop over here to TQW to get yourself a couple of subdomains on
    me =)

    Very cool maybe I can set up an event type for updating the IP address when
    it changes there or something.

    I will make a note in my TODO to check out your site and think more on this!

    What's your net about? ;)

    Will have to check it out sometime. Hmm, I've got a gazillion domains here as it is, and all you need to do is join my othernet to get a hostname automagically. :D

    Well, it hasn't officially got a "theme" yet, it was mostly a project just to learn about how they work and run, but seems to edge towards tech with a dash of sciencey stuff (im personally interested in science and astrophysics).

    Thanks!

    I wrote a little bash script to do that for me, but it would be cool to integrate it into Mystic officially too =)

    OK, cool. I'd definitely be interested in those topics. Might have to join you (and you'll get practice in adding nodes ;) ).

    It's for binkd style DNS lookups. The hostnames are automatically generated from the nodelist.

    It would just detect when an IP has changed and run a script, so it'd essentially do the same thing probably.

    Sounds great. I used to also dabble in amateur radio too so we have that in common also. My call sign is M3EHW (only a foundation level amateur sadly, never got round to progressing up to intermediate or further.

    I used to operate a Yaesu FT-840 upto 20m plus 2m and 70cm on a handheld.
    That was fantastic.

    All good fun. I have an Advanced (highest level here) licence myself. Not as active as they used to be.


    ... When in doubt, predict that the trend will continue.
