Ridgway Systems is a personal homelab project built entirely on OpenBSD. The goal is to self-host
|
|
as many services as practical on owned hardware, with a focus on simplicity, security, and
|
|
understanding every layer of the stack.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This site documents the build — hardware choices, configuration decisions, and things learned
|
|
along the way. If you're setting up your own homelab or migrating to OpenBSD, hopefully something
|
|
here is useful.

<h2>Why OpenBSD?</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Security-first design. <code>pledge(2)</code> and <code>unveil(2)</code> are excellent.</li>
|
|
<li>Clean, minimal base system. No surprises.</li>
|
|
<li><code>pf(4)</code> is the best firewall I've used.</li>
|
|
<li>Documentation is thorough and accurate. The man pages are genuinely good.</li>
|
|
<li>Deliberate, careful development. The OpenBSD team doesn't chase hype.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>What's Running</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
See the <a href="/infrastructure">infrastructure page</a> for the full hardware and service list.
|
|
Briefly: a SuperMicro 1U as the firewall/router, a Dell R720 as the primary server, and a
|
|
Dell R710 for backup and game servers. Everything is managed with Ansible.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Can I see the Ansible playbooks?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Eventually. The playbooks are on the <a href="https://git.ridgwaysystems.org">Gitea instance</a>
|
|
(private for now while things are in flux). Plan is to open them up once they're in a state
|
|
I'm not embarrassed by.
