There is an ansible playbook now available that you may use to install RhostMUSH. It will do everything for you. You must have ansible installed on the server to run the playbook.
To use, just type: ansible-playbook rhostinstall.yml
You only need the yml file to automatically pull down and install, configure, and launch RhostMUSH.
Welcome to the new home for the RhostMUSH Server project. Here, you will find not only the source code for arguably the best MUSH server around, but also repositories for submitted softcode and guides on getting started with your own game project.
RhostMUSH is very much similar to the likes of PennMUSH and TinyMUX, two other very well-supported and popular codebases. There are differences, of course, most of which are transparent to your players, but very evident and useful to you, as the game administrator.
Rhost is designed from the ground up to have security in mind. It is heavily protected against game-crippling denial of service attacks that will down other codebases, as well as giving you, the game creator, tools and commands at your disposal to not only identify such malicious attempts, but block them entirely from affecting your game. From the fundamental levels of 'Bits' (of which Rhost has several, with a different philosophy), through the supplemental ability to grant @powers to those who need it as well as blocking specific powers from their use, to the extensive methods of security attribute access, commands and underlying hard commands for your own needs and design.

You may also, if you wish, access to help online via the web. We try to keep this updated but it may be a few releases behind.
We also have a sandbox, where everyone who connects is set full Wizard (Immortal) on connect. This is a great way to learn Rhost without having one of your own to toy with. This instance will be periodically reinstalled, so do not expect to have anything be persistent, including your login.
