    BinktermPHP is a multi-protocol BBS platform built around native FTN messaging, with a browser interface, a native BinkP mailer, terminal (Telnet/SSH) access, QWK, NNTP, Gemini, and a door game framework. Supports AI interaction and written with AI help. Licensed under BSD-3-Clause.

    Version 1.10.5 with NNTP readers access daemon was released yesterday.

    As name suggests, it is written in PHP and supports deployment as usual (with installer/composer) and in Docker.

    Source code: https://github.com/awehttam/binkterm-php
    Installation instructions: https://github.com/awehttam/binkterm-php/blob/main/docs/INSTALL.md
    Installing with Docker: https://github.com/awehttam/binkterm-php/blob/main/docs/DOCKER.md

    I'm not an author of BinkTermPHP, but I'm the one who whined extensively to get NNTP readers support. Kind-of killer feature - seamless quotation format conversion between NNTP and FTN (first one uses only ">" for quotes, second one uses initials and ">" like "SN>>>").

    A proposal for implementing NNTP peering exists: https://github.com/awehttam/binkterm-php/issues/427. BinkTermPHP author invites everyone to discuss it.
