The system consists of a message server script (<code>server.sh</code>) that listens for and logs messages, a web server script (<code>web.sh</code>) that serves the messages through a simple web interface, and a backup script (<code>backup.sh</code>) that performs daily backups of the messages.</p>\n<p></p><h2>Quick Start</h2><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://github.com/Ferryistaken/messageboard#quick-start\"></a><p></p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Clone the Repository:</strong></p>\n<div><pre>git clone https://github.com/Ferryistaken/messageboard\n<span>cd</span> messageboard</pre></div>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Build the Docker Container:</strong></p>\n<div><pre>docker build -t messageboard <span>.</span></pre></div>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Run the Container:</strong></p>\n<div><pre>docker run -dp 6969:6969 -dp 1915:1915 messageboard</pre></div>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This command runs the Docker container and maps the ports 6969 (web server) and 1915 (message server) to the host.</p>\n</blockquote>\n</li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Access the Messageboard:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Send messages to the server: <code>nc [Your-Container-IP] 1915</code></li>\n<li>View messages via a web browser: <code>http://[Your-Container-IP]:6969</code></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ol>\n<p></p><h2>Components</h2><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://github.com/Ferryistaken/messageboard#components\"></a><p></p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>web.sh</strong>: Serves logged messages along with custom header and footer via HTTP on port 6969.</li>\n<li><strong>server.sh</strong>: Listens on port 1915 for incoming messages, logs them to a file, and supports basic interaction.</li>\n<li><strong>backup.sh</strong>: Runs daily to backup the messages log to a dedicated backup directory.</li>\n</ul>\n<p></p><h2>Customization</h2><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://github.com/Ferryistaken/messageboard#customization\"></a><p></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Default ports and file paths can be customized using environment variables (<code>PORT</code> for <code>web.sh</code> and <code>PORT_SERVER</code> for <code>server.sh</code>).</li>\n<li>Header and footer text can be modified in <code>header.txt</code> and <code>footer.txt</code> respectively.</li>\n</ul>\n<p></p><h2>Logs and Backups</h2><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https://github.com/Ferryistaken/messageboard#logs-and-backups\"></a><p></p>\n<p>Logs are stored in <code>/app/messageboard/log/messages.log</code> and daily backups are stored in <code>/app/messageboard/log/backups</code>.</p>\n</article></div></div>\n      </div></div>",
