Question for folk that use #OpenBSD in their home labs or rather several. ;)
I've got this idea to spin up OpenBSD on an i5-10500 based PC with 32Gb ram and I want to run the following services which are currently hosted on my FreeBSD server here using Bastille jails for each service.
I have a reverse proxy, nginx for web, git and cgit in another, Syncthing, Radicale. So 5 jails in total. The questions I have are wouold you try run all of those on base OpenBSD or use vmm for each like I do with bastille ?
Also how would #Snac perform in a vmm virtual machine using only 1 CPU compared to being in a multi core CPU jail on FreeBSD ??
The FreeBSD server has a i7-4790 (8) @ 3.60 GHz with 16Gb ram
The OpenBSD machine has a i5-10500 (6) @ 3.1 - 4.5GHz with 32Gb ram.
Don't ask me why I'm considering this please. #RunBSD
