Ending my OpenBSD experiment (Almost)
|

I did [7]this fun thing from Derek Sivers because I wanted to play with
|
||
[8]OpenBSD and with [9]Vultr for hosting.
|
||
|
||
Well, I played with it. It was fun. I got to see how [10]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, [11]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 [12]jackbaty.com. I like the idea of
|
||
BSD so much that I couldn’t give up quite yet.
