ascii-movie

The original Star Wars telnet server is currently down, so why not implement it in Go? This server will open a TCP server on 0.0.0.0:23 and an SSH server on 0.0.0.0:22 which stream the original Star Wars ASCII movie to command line clients.

Run one of these commands in a terminal to see it in action:

• SSH: ssh starwarstel.net
• Telnet: telnet starwarstel.net
• Docker: docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/gabe565/ascii-movie play

Demo

ascii-movie.mp4

Also available on asciinema

Installation

See Installation.

Usage

The app can play a movie directly on your terminal with the play subcommand, or it can host an SSH and Telnet stream server with the serve subcommand.

See generated docs for command line usage information.

Docker (Suggested)

An image is available at ghcr.io/gabe565/ascii-movie.

Watch Locally

The following command will run a container that plays the movie directly in your terminal.

sudo docker run --rm -it ghcr.io/gabe565/ascii-movie play

Serve Movie over Telnet and SSH

The following command will run a Telnet server on port 23 and an SSH server on port 2222.

sudo docker run --port=22:22 --port=23:23 ghcr.io/gabe565/ascii-movie serve
