From Newsgroup: news.admin.peering
Hi everybody,
I've run my own server off and on for a few years. I think 2022 was the
last time I ran one. I've always wanted to see more alternatives to INN
so I built my own. Now that's it's up and running, I'm looking for peers.
About the server:
While INN is more about the classic Unix philosophy. My server, OpenUsenetServer, is closer to the cloud-native philosophy. It is easy
to set up and easy to configure. All user and admin functions are
configured through a web gui. Before any asks, yes it was AI-driven development. I took the source code for INN and I used its functionality
and way of doing things as the Gold Standard and from there built an
entirely new application with backwards compatibility for peers.
The project is Docker-based and can be found here:

Other Features:
- One binary, clear config rCo hostname, peers, and retention live in YAML
or environment variables.
- Web admin rCo newsreader, stats, ops, peer management, usenet full-text search, and INN-compatible peering snippets in the browser.
- Ready to peer rCo Uses INN newsfeeds-style patterns and flags.
- Spam-aware by default rCo cleanfeed-ng ships in the image and can reject junk on ingest.
- Archives rCo Backup newsgroups on-demand, scheduled, and import
historical Usenet from the Internet Archive to your newsgroups.
- Built for hobbyists rCo a single VM hobbyist peer is a first-class deployment, not an afterthought.
