Daniel Wayne Armstrong<p>In anticipation of installing NetBSD on a remote VPS next week, I've installed NetBSD today on a local device to poke around a bit!</p><p><a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RunBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RunBSD</span></a></p>
Børge<p>I recently installed NetBSD for the first time, on a remote VPS. All was fine, I installed pkgin, got some packages installed, installed openssh-portable, got my firewall rules set and so on. Having used FreeBSD and OpenBSD before it was a little different, but not too different.</p><p>Then one day, or rather late at night I found I needed to install some X11 sets and fired up sysinst. It being late, I did not read everything very carefully, but quickly found "re-install sets", "custom installtion", and then the X11 sets at the bottom of the menu. I selected them and started the installation.</p><p>It took a little longer than expected, and I noticed it was reinstalling base for some reason. No worries I thought, I hadn't touched that in the few days the system had been running, so it shouldn't be a problem.</p><p>Then when everything was finished, I noticed things were not working as expected. I think I managed to kill the sshd listening daemon and couldn't start it again. Then I noticed /etc/rc.conf was blank, so I had no network configuration, no sshd startup, no nothing. It seems /etc had also been replaced with defaults.</p><p>So by my lonesome, I had quite quickly managed to make quite a mess of things. Fortunately I did not reboot as was my first intuition when I found things weren't working. Sshd from packages required another script which had been replaced, the original sshd I had set to listen on another port which wasn't allowed through current firewall rules and so on.</p><p>Sorry for the boring ending, but it was all fully recoverable from my one ssh connection that fortunately didn't drop. Got network configured again, got firewall set up and started, got correct sshd started and so on. Then reboot, and all was good. Thanks to good documentation and easy configuration.</p><p>And that is why I <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RUNBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RUNBSD</span></a> <br>Even being completely new to <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a> it was easy to recover.</p><p>I've re-tried sysinst after the fact, and now see base, /etc and so on will be re-installed by default if you don't uncheck them, so now I know.</p>

Børge<p>So this is where my peeps at!</p><p>Hello everyone, my name is Børge and I am happy to get back into the BSD world, though only for personal projects for now.</p><p>I was a sysadmin for a small telco a while ago and we used Solaris/SPARC and FreeBSD/i386 for our servers, while I tried my hand at OpenBSD for my personal server. The network was all Cisco at the beginning, with some Juniper equipment for peering at the end but I did not get any experience with those unfortunately. I do have a certificate in SS7 somewhere, the signaling protocol telcos use for voice calls, but have forgotten pretty much all of it.</p><p>These days work is "cloud everything", which all seems to be based on Linux-something.</p><p>Reminiscing of "the good, old days" I wondered if I could run a BSD server anywhere to tap into my sysadmin background a little, or if I would have to use some Linux distribution.</p><p>Searching for BSD hosting providers, I am very happy I discovered <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSDAms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSDAms</span></a> which I use for OpenBSD hosting (obviously).</p><p>Then I came across <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BoxyBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BoxyBSD</span></a> where I was lucky enough to get a FreeBSD instance.</p><p>Last but not least I came across a cheap VPS provider where I could run NetBSD. I don't mention the provider because I'm not sure I can recommend them yet.</p><p>I've been on Mastodon a little while, mostly reading as there is so much of interest to find here, though also because I'm quite shy, but hope to maybe post something about what I do now and then.</p><p>I really like all the *BSDs, they just do things in a way that seems sensible to me, so being here feels a lot like coming home.</p><p>So that's me a little about me. <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>introduction</span></a> </p><p>How are you?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/RUNBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RUNBSD</span></a></p>
