Anyone managed to set it up yet? I'm a bit in a short of a free time these days but I really want to try it. We can make a test crypto forum so everyone can use and test it. I'm willing to trow a few satoshi that way if anyone has the time for it A user active in the French local sub-forum did setup Epochtalk. Here is the link : (Registration confirmation email ended up in spams on gmail) Hello, Thank you to @yogg for the first sharing ^^ If you want, I have opened a topic for the project https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5115500.new#new

Sorry for the delay in putting the forum onto the CryptoHints.com domain. I gave JackG a half setup VPS to experiment with. I'm thinking of putting Virtualmin on the server to simplify the maintenance, and maybe expand the project in the future. If anybody has used this, then I'd be grateful for some tips or hints for the installation and setup.

If you see the post above yours it's lulucrypto who made a fresh installation of the Epochtalk, and there is where I played a little with it. I guess he will cooperate if you face any problems during the installation. I will gladly join the testing if you don't mind ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Things have changed a bit for me today. I haven't received my gear pulling set yet, so I'll put off changing the bearing. I'm trying to work out what Bitcoin is going to do, and I think it may drop a bit over the next couple of days. I'm also reading about the Coinbase acquisition, and I may empty my Bitcoin account there, and move the coins into one of my long term holding wallets. I can move a bit of fiat into my Sterling wallet at CB, and try to grab some Bitcoin if it does drop.
I've fired up the Netbook, so I can put that into terminal mode, and see what is going on with the vps. I'll report back later.

@jetty, a vps is really similar to a vortual machine type instance but where data stays once you turn it off (and sometimes the session stays too).
I'm happy to keep running the installation although you might want to think about how you're going to set up the forum and you also haven't changed the name yet, did you want to?

I missed you pm, and I thought you wanted the OS to be reinstalled. I'm reinstalling Centos 7 at the moment. I'm thinking of using Virtualmin as a control panel, and that might make maintenance easier. Sorry if this messed up whatever you have done. Maybe we should coordinate through the blab chatroom.

I messed up redis anyway, this may well not be the first reinstall of the os 😂.
What's the disk space like do you know? I imagine 2gigs is sufficient and just want to check its not lower.

I can probably get more if it is needed.
It looks as if Centos may have updated - do you want me to install the panel
Should we move this chat to blab to save hijacking this thread?

Sorry about that, I messed up. I accidentally enabled 2nd level authentication without any keys, and I managed to lock everybody out. It gives new meaning to a Virtual Private Server. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I'll have a go at sorting things out today. I've made the DNS change at my registrar, but I don't seem to have a name server running on the server. I'm going to have a go at using webmin and virtualmin as control and admin panels. There isn't a problem with the epoch software, the problem is my paucity of knowledge about VPS management.

Yeah I can't help you get a private key unless I'm stood with the server lol or have some other access.
That's quite funny I don't know how neither of us anticipated that to happen 😂.

SMF is better than epochtalk or I am in love with SMF or just because I am used to using SMF.

Epochtalk is not optimized yet, but I think it's much better than the SMF. I like also the old style of this forum but as everything is as advancing and developing its about time the forum to do the same. There are some aspects of Epochtalk which I don't like, for example there are no more numerical user IDs but I guess these things can be changed/fixed later if needed.

I'm quite interested in the project. Especially if there are ways to monetise a forum that is using the software. I need a CMS for my off grid living support forum, and I'd like to earn a bit of income from it.

I've reconfigured the server, and installed the Centos control panel, and enable ftp. I tried to trad from the epoch repository, and it isn't recognising it.
Are there any simple installation instructions anywhere?

Up for this thread hope that I could be able to help in my little way. We know that theymos wants the new forum to have exposure and for everyone to try it out. Though the name of the forum may not sound good to me but still it is the features that matter and not the name.
Let's give a try!

Epochtalk is not the name of the forum, but that of the software upon which you can roll-out multiple distinct forums, one of the instances being Bitcointalk. If you are eager to try, read the OP, which references @lulucrypto’s website (cryptos-currencies.com). It has been up and running for test for some days now, and on which 35 people having created an account there to try things out in multiple languages. Also see for further details Cryptos-Currencies.Com : First forum using Epochtalk.

I tried that guide and fell over at step one. It didn't find the repository. I gave up as I was suffering from brain overload after trying to install a control panel over spotty WiFi. In the end I used the Centos panel, and that seems to do everything I wanted. I've resolved the dns for Crypto Hints and set up an ftp account. I just dumped the first index page on it that I found on my machine. I tried to install the Epoch software through a terminal on the Ubuntu machine, but had to give up almost immediately to sort out some other problems. My difficulty stems from the fact that I've always used managed servers with Softaculous. So I've had to set up the VPS and the DNS server. I also had some problems with Webmin which wouldn't start, but I switched to the Centos panel, and that is working well. I'll have a go at the actual installation tomorrow.

I think that's the same thing as cloning the repo so you may as well just do that with git clone https://github.com/epochtalk/epochtalk.
