Steps for successfully installing Synchro.NET BBS on Linux Ubuntu 14.04 (Digital Ocean)

synchronet-install

I made these steps using the tools provided by DigitalOcean, but these steps should work verbatim on any Ubuntu Server.
Download Terminfo: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/install/terminfo
Download Termcap: http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/install/termcap

I. Pre-Requisites:
apt-get update
apt-get install make g++ linux-libc-dev libncurses5-dev libnspr4-dev cvs libcap2-dev gdb zip unzip lrzsz gkermit
apt-get install dosemu

II. BBS Install:
mkdir /sbbs
cd /sbbs
wget 'http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/install/GNUmakefile'
make install SYMLINK=1 DOSEMU=1

(Depending on the system this takes 3-5m)

III. After Install
cd /sbbs/ctrl/
copy terminfo.txt to /sbbs
copy termcap.txt to /sbbs
tic terminfo
cat termcap >> /etc/termcap

nano sbbs.ini 
scroll to the [BBS] tag 
on TCP port for Secure Shell, change it to 2222
on LastNode=4 and change it to howmuchever nodes you  want
on UnixOnly and remove the ; from ExternalTermANSI=ansi-bbs 
on the line below the above command, uncomment DOSemuPath and point it to /usr/bin/dosemu.bin

scroll to the [Mail] tag
Autostart=false
scroll to the [FTP] tag
Autostart=false
scroll to the [Web] tag
Autostart=false

CTRL-X and save sbbs.ini

IV. Daemon Mode and Final configuration settings
cd /etc/init.d
wget http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/install/init.d/sbbs.debian
mv sbbs.debian sbbs
chmod +x sbbs

NOTE: EVERY TIME YOU DO A CHANGE ON SBBS.INI or SCFG you need to /etc/init.d/sbbs stop and /etc/init.d/sbbs start.  DO NOT DO /etc/init.d/sbbs recycle, as it doesn’t work as it should for some reason.

Monitoring Node Status
text based: watch /sbbs/exec/node list
graphical: ./sbbs/exec/umonitor

IV. Configuring Synchro.Net:
export SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl
Launch SCFG: ./sbbs/exec/scfg
Modify as you see fit, match the number of nodes with the number you set up on ebbs.ini
When you are done proceed to boot the board: /etc/init.d/sbbs start
