Mobius
Mobius is a cross-platform command line Hotline client and server implemented in Golang.
The goal of Mobius server is to make it simple to run a Hotline server on macOS, Linux, and Windows, with full compatibility for all popular Hotline clients.
The goal of the Mobius client is to make it fun and easy to connect to multiple Hotline servers through a cool retro terminal UI.
Getting started
Docker
If you run Docker, you can quickly try out the Mobius server with the official image from Docker hub:
docker run --pull=always --rm -p 5500:5500 -p 5501:5501 jhalter/mobius-hotline-server:latest
This will start the Mobius server with the Hotline ports 5500 and 5501 exposed on localhost using a default configuration from the image.
To edit the configuration and serve files from your host OS, include the -v option to setup a Docker bind mount:
export HLFILES=/Users/foo/HotlineFiles #
docker run --rm -p 5500:5500 -p 5501:5501 -v $HLFILES:/usr/local/var/mobius/config jhalter/mobius-hotline-server:latest -init
You'll now find a configuration directory on your host OS populated with a default configuration:
❯ ls -al $HLFILES
