Do you know at this some hosting company giving you the possibility to have your own OpenBSD virtual machine running on bare-metal OpenBSD server? Currently, I don’t know a lot of company doing this… Only one small project from OpenBSD.Amsterdam (opens new window) for 60€/year! So why should you buy this kind of service?
It runs OpenBSD as main OS.
It will help to debug OpenBSD hypervisor (vmm (opens new window)).
It gives 10€ to OpenBSD project (and all related ones, like OpenSSH, LibreSSL and many more)
You have one IPv4 and one IPv6/64.
A good occasion to try a stable and secure operating system developed by one of the most amazing IT community!
# I have it… What can I do now?!
First, you can read the post-installation manual, (opens new window) and configure correctly your new virtual machine. You need some ideas?! Without third-party software you can…
Create your own web server with openhttpd (opens new window)
Create your own mail server with opensmtpd (opens new window)
Create your own DNS authoritative server with nsd (opens new window)
Create your own DNS cache server with unbound (opens new window)
Create your own VPN with ipsec (opens new window)
Create your own LDAP server with ldapd (opens new window)
Create your own NTP server with openntpd (opens new window)
Create your own SFTP (opens new window) or FTP (opens new window) server
Create your own OpenBSD release builder (opens new window)…
And so many other things (opens new window)!
You can also say thanks to Mischa (opens new window) for this really nice project!
Thank
you Mischa!
Thanks to Roman (opens new window) too about my mistake…
