I want to try #selfhosting for the very first time and I want to try it on #openbsd. Is there anyone that would be up answering questions along the way to help me setup or configure a selfhosting server? I want to try hosting several different services, but I have to start with one, so whichever one someone is most skilled in, that is where I would start.
I want to try a file server, multimedia server to stream a backup server email server, fediverse, whatever someone can help me learn to do.
@ParadeGrotesque The $company I work for replaced the two #OpenBSD firewalls I built with a shitty FortiGate appliance. A nicely working OpenVPN was replaced by a buggy & possibly less secure IKEv1. I hate it.
When the GUI tools fail you for file transfer, you can always count on a TUI tool to save the day. #OpenBSD #MidnightCommander #UNIX
Just tried this on my #OpenBSD work machine to mount my OnePlus 6T and it worked. I was missing the extra options mentioned on the page. Posting it here and bookmarking it for future reference.
in OpenBSD with Xfce, when I have a link in another application, including Thunderbird, those links have been opening in Chromium, even though my default browser in the Xfce settings is Firefox.
There's another place where this is set, and this Stack Exchange post lays it all out.
Remember, #OpenBSD snapshots are now 7.7-beta, this is an excellent time to test - https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20250302115123 (the most useful time to test for the upcoming release) #unix #libresoftware #freesoftware #bsd #development #security #testing
Is there anything like this daemonize command on OpenBSD?

So if I can get my web services, FreshRSS, and Nextcloud running on OpenBSD, I might go for a OpenBSD VM from OpenBSD Amsterdam.
BSD people: send me your BSD-related RSS feeds!
- The #Slackware LXC manual: run ˋ/usr/libexec/lxc/lxc-net start`
- The command: can’t run properly, dnsmasq already running.
- Me: ok, fsck off
- create an #OpenBSD libvirt vm.
- configure and run dhcpd.
- configure and run unbound.
- rc.dnsmasq stop
- rc.unbound stop
- Me: can I continue trying to run LXC now!?

On #OpenBSD misc mailing list, someone asked about using the rust "gnu" utilities too. Because they are MIT licensed, seems OK for #OpenBSD.
But the most informative response was rust was only supported on 2 platforms of the ~14 supported platforms. This alone tells me using rust will break portability, thus far from ready, which agrees with what you are saying.
