It's ksh not bash. It's only for OpenBSD 7.3 on Vultr.com It should only be run in the context of the steps at https://sive.rs/ti https://sive.rs/ti I was trying to help non-technical people experience the empowering joy of having their own server, so instead of the usual "you could do this or that, here or there", this is a single-track "just do this".

Random question regarding OpenBSD: I'm curious why you suggested OpenBSD vs Linux? I read through your linked "OpenBSD : why and how" [1] article - as well as the secondary linked article from that page [2] - and couldn't help but notice how many of the reasons listed were reasons why not to use OpenBSD. More than that, the limitations (while I do understand the value of doing simple things well) of the system seem highly constraining. Do you use OpenBSD for all your devices, all the time? Or is it more of a thing where OpenBSD serves your needs perfectly for some smaller subset of what a "computer" is, and for everything else you have a separate device to fill those needs? (An ipad/macbook for media consumption, a home server for handling media related tasks, etc.) Love the general sentiment behind the article, btw. The OpenBSD thing just really stood out to me as I read through it.

  I use OpenBSD for basically everything: laptop, desktop, server. It's been my server OS since 1999. I play with other OSs and come back to the solid simplicity of OpenBSD. I chose OpenBSD for https://sive.rs/ti https://sive.rs/ti because of its simplicity and security, and that it has the mailserver and webserver built-in.

If you ran your own github clone (self-hosted Gitlab, Gitea etc.), we could fork that script and improve upon it, potentially
