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.

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.

- 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.

My second #OpenBSD #port that got merged into the #ports tree: MollySocket [1]
Mollysocket is for every #Signal user that wants to ditch Google-dependent notifications.
Together with #Molly [2] you can be sure that notifications will only be routed over systems that you choose, using #UnifiedPush.

This OpenBSD port in particular comes with a useful README that should help you to get started quickly. Let's hope that it makes it into 7.7-release :)
