Apologies if this is too much of a self-promotion but thought it might be of interest.
I recently got back into BBSing and got a Synchronet setup online. I built it from source on linux and put it into a Docker
container. I created an article/video about how I did that here:
didn't follow. But I thought it might be a good starting point and welcome feedback on what I could improve.
My latest build is being used to create an SBBS Game Server to be used in a docker swarm (so that you can scale up the number of nodes across multiple hosts if required). In my build I also have the doorparty connector, so that you could make it a public game server.
If the game server is not what you need, it can still be a normal SBBS for messaging and optionally connecting to remote game servers.
Details on my build process is here:
http://dev.leenooks.net/bbs/sbbs - and if you look at the x86_64 or armv7l branches for details. (One day I'll merge it all back into master and make a multi-arch container, but havent got there yet...)
Although I congratulate you on the efforts but wonder why you consider the need for a swarm for scaling up in the event of
demand. The doorparty side of it, okay, I'll give you that. Yet, still interested in the logic behind it.
This makes sense... but why not auto-scaling groups in AWS?
ARM, huh? What platform for ARM?

Raspberry Pi.

I've contemplated running a second nodeset on Pi and reduce my
reliance on AWS. Since I deal with Comcast at home, I'm not a fan
of non-static IP addresses and don't wish to rely upon a Dynamic
DNS provider. Oh well, I'll think of something.

Seems to work well for many folks.
