What it is

Adboard is a free classified-advertisements platform available as a web application, self-hosted deployment, and REST API. Users can create, edit, update, and delete advertisements, organize them in hierarchical categories, and search by category, title, region, or photo availability. Listings support multiple photos, comments, user profiles, contact information, and address fields for area, city, street, and house number. Prices use Russian Ruble formatting. IdentityServer4 supplies authentication and authorization with admin and user roles. Protected API endpoints use JWT bearer tokens. The project documents Docker Compose deployment with SQLite and Entity Framework Core, and lists Swagger/OpenAPI among its components. A .NET Core 3.1 SDK or later is required. Payment integration, email notifications, messaging, favorites, mobile applications, and security improvements are planned rather than listed as available features. The repository states an MIT License and credits nayutalienx, whose linked profile identifies Viktor.
