Ending my OpenBSD experiment (Almost)
|

I did [8]this fun thing from Derek Sivers because I wanted to play with [9]
|
||
OpenBSD and with [10]Vultr for hosting.
|
||
|
||
Well, I played with it. It was fun. I got to see how [11]Dovecot works and I
|
||
learned how to configure Relayd and the OpenBSD httpd server.
|
||
|
||
I think I’d end up liking it. BSD feels lighter and simpler and therefore
|
||
probably more secure than the Ubuntu servers I’m running.
|
||
|
||
However, I don’t need another server to manage. I don’t need to run my own mail
|
||
server or CalDAV server. My VPS at Digital Ocean has been running (::knocks
|
||
wood::) smoothly for years and I’ve got the configuration down.
|
||
|
||
I’ll be deleting the OpenBSD server once I’ve moved the few sites I’d migrated
|
||
there back to Digital Ocean.
|
||
|
||
Remember, [12]Reduce and Simplify.
|
||
|
||
I may try again later with stock OpenBSD and Caddy, without all of the Sivers’
|
||
stuff.
|
||
|
||
2 hours later: I was right. I spun up a fresh OpenBSD server at Vultr and
|
||
configured it myself. No services running but relayd->httpd and so far the only
|
||
site it’s running is [13]jackbaty.com. I like the idea of BSD so much that I
|
||
couldn’t give up quite yet.
