[NNTPChan](https://nntpchan.info)
=================================
![le ebin logo](nntpchan.png "ebin logo")
**NNTPChan** (previously known as overchan) is a decentralized imageboard that uses the [NNTP protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_News_Transfer_Protocol) (network-news transfer protocol) to synchronize content between many different servers. It utilizes cryptographically signed posts to perform optional/opt-in decentralized moderation.
## Getting started
[This](doc) is a step-by-step guide for getting up-and-running with NNTPChan as well as documentation for developers who want to either work on NNTPChan directly or use NNTPChan in their aplications with the API.
TL;DR edition:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install --no-install-recommends install imagemagick ffmpeg sox build-essential git ca-certificates postgresql postgresql-client
$ git clone https://github.com/majestrate/nntpchan
$ make
$ SRND_INSTALLER=0 ./srndv2 setup
