I installed noddy today. The first time I fired it up, I got the following error:

node app.js ~/Talisman
/home/bbs/Talisman/noddy/app.js:53
secret: talismanconfig.noddy['session secret'],
^

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'session secret')

I added the following to my talisman.ini file:

[noddy]
session secret =

I then fired it up and it seemed to start OK:

node app.js ~/Talisman
express-session deprecated req.secret; provide secret option app.js:51:9
Noddy listening at http://localhost:3000

However, when I surfed in to check it out, I got the following error in my browser window:

I am guessing I still need to do some extra things in my talisman.ini file. I tried to go to the
Talisman BBS website to see if there was any documentation, but it appears to be down:

Error resolving “talismanbbs.com”: Temporary failure in name resolution

I had this in my talisman.ini:

[noddy]
seclevel = 10
session secret = secretPW
