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.
