Warning: This is just a raw dump on notes. Built on internal VMs for now.

# Setup our internal repo (to be moved to external repo)
curl http://192.168.122.231/repo/el7/alteeve.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/alteeve.repo

# Install stuff
yum -y groupinstall development 
yum -y install httpd gcc gcc-c++ mlocate vim telnet nodejs npm nodejs-async

# Enable and start apache
systemctl start httpd
systemctl enable httpd

# Open http
firewall-cmd --add-service http 
firewall-cmd --add-service https 
firewall-cmd --add-port=8888-8889/tcp
firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

Install NVM: 

# Check here for updates: https://github.com/creationix/nvm
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.30.1/install.sh | bash
reset
cd /var/www/html/enigma-bbs/
nvm install 4.2.2
npm install

Browse to http://enigma-bbs, verify default apache page is visible.

Download ENiGMA½:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out ./misc/ssh_private_key.pem 8191

Initial config: 

vim /var/www/config.hjson

general: {
  boardName: AN!BBS
}
servers: {
  ssh: {
    privateKeyPass: <passphrase used in keygen>
    enabled: true /* set to false to disable the SSH server */
