Is the performance of the JVM/PostgreSQL/NGINX on OpenBSD the same as on Linux? Are there any reliable OpenBSD VPS providers?

- schwarze_pest 12y agoNo, (in many cases) it's not the same, OpenBSD uses a giant lock.
- toyg 12y agoI'm using Vultr.com but I installed as "Custom ISO" since they didn't have a 5.6 option at the time.
- devicenull 12y agoThe main reason why it's not an official image is OpenBSD doesn't seem to support any sort of online disk resizing. Operating systems get deployed from an image, and typically expand the own partitions to fill up the disk... OpenBSD can't do this, which makes things pretty tricky.
- yellowapple 12y agoI haven't benchmarked anything, but at least for PostgreSQL and nginx, I've found OpenBSD's performance to be right on par with what I've come to expect from GNU/Linux servers; nothing feels particularly slow. As for VPS providers, I've heard good things about 1984[0], though I haven't used them myself (yet; I'll probably do this pretty soon). I've also used EDIS[1] without any particular problems. Both provide OpenBSD as OS options. [0]: https://www.1984.is/ https://www.1984.is/ (in Icelandic, but there's a drop-down to set the language to English).
