Thanks Yar for helping me get this set up. A scuttlebutt instance (ssb-server) is now
running at ssb(a)space.local.
Could we get port 8008 forwarded to this server from WAN?
Another issue: the server is on the Wired subnet, so it is not discoverable by peers on
the WiFi subnet. It should be discoverable over WiFi to be most useful. To make this peer
discovery work, would it be feasible to forward UDP broadcast packets between the subnets
(or just from Wired to WiFi)? Alternatively, a script could run on the WiFi subnet to send
the periodic UDP broadcast packets advertising the ssb-server at space.local. Could such a
script run on the gateway server?

Thanks Marc for sharing this idea. Yes, I would
like to set up a Scuttlebutt node at Sudo Room. I would like it to be on the same LAN as
the Omni Commons AP, so that people in the space can discover it via UDP broadcast. Where
would be a good place to put this?
I would suggest space.local, it's the closest thing we have to a shell
server. However, be warned that this is an old machine running Ubuntu
14.04 (EOL) and I plan to replace it as soon as somebody can find some
better hardware with more reasonable power consumption.
I'd be fine trusting you with access to the gateway machine if you
want, but I think it would be best if we kept it as strictly a gateway
machine rather than have it turn into another generic shell server.
Send me an ssh key (rsa cuz it's old) and I'll send you instructions.
