If you're interested in running noddy on win32, I tested it and it does work, however there are a few hoops to jump through..

1. Install 32-bit node.js, while it's installing make sure you check the box to instal chocolaty and build tools.

2. Chocolaty will install python 3.12 which is no good for building node.js modules, so after it's all installed, uninstall python

chocolaty uninstall python

3. I deleted the C:\Python312 folder as well because it didn't go away.

4. Install python 3.9

chocolaty install python39

5. git clone (if you want to you can clone it else where and copy it over, or install git 32 bit) noddy

6. enter the noddy directory, and run npm install

7. edit your talisman.ini file and add a [noddy] section with the following keys:

[noddy]
session secret = sopiefhfh9ps83ho9g
seclevel = 10

8. session secret is a random string, make yours different

9. seclevel is the access level noddy will have for reading bulletins

10. to run noddy run node app.js C:\bbs

11. C:\bbs is the path to your talisman root (change it if you need to)

11. noddy will be running on port 3000, use your webserver to proxy requests through.

Hope this helps, I don't think I can make a package for it, I can try, but this way you can git pull any updates.

I downloaded this using that feature you added. (LOL) I'll give this a
shot after I can convince my friend who hosts the BBS VM for me to up my
disk space.
