I tried a couple times to get OpenBSD 7.4 and 7.5 booting on EC2 and GCE with no luck (hang during the bootloader). I ended up going with https://openbsd.amsterdam https://openbsd.amsterdam but it would be nice to have working images in the major cloud providers.
- _n_b_ 2y agoVultr has OpenBSD images too.
- CodeCompost 2y agoJust out of curiosity, what are you running on OpenBSD?
- benlivengood 2y agohttpd with some critical files; I'm taking a diversified approach of offline storage and various OS hosts to store the keychains and other things I'd need to bootstrap connectivity to the remaining online services, and maybe I'll host some personal pages as well. I got annoyed with the openssh bugs this summer and figured I should have some hosts I can mostly not worry about. In general, I think I want OpenBSD to be the Internet-facing hosts as much as possible, so looking into proxy options for TLS+QUIC.
- implements 2y agoOut of interest, do you put relayd in front of httpd? (I’m not knowledgeable enough to know whether that would improve security or not)
- nopcode 2y agoWhy would it? I've used relayd in front of a ruby on rails app that spawns 4 sockets, but I don't see why you would do it for httpd. Note that httpd is based on relayd and likely still shares a lot of the same code.
- mvdwoord 2y agoHi there neighbor! Ended up there for more or less the same reason. Shame there isn't more hosted BSD options around.
- rbc 2y agoAmerican Cloud has an OpenBSD beta out. I'm sure they'd be happy to have more testers.
