Let’s have a look a the old and simple “cgi-bin” stuff on OpenBSD. The Webserver is written by the OpenBSD Guys, and it runs in a chrooted environment.
switch to cgi-bin dir cd /var/www/cgi-bin/ ip.cgi create the file under /var/www/cgi-bin called ‘ip.cgi’
cat << 'EOG' > ip.cgi #!/bin/sh cat << EOF Content-type: text/html <html><head> <title>IP: $REMOTE_ADDR</title> </head><body> <p>Your IP address is: $REMOTE_ADDR</p> </body></html> EOF EOG Set Owner & Permission chmod 500 ip.

cat << EOF >> /etc/login.conf # Minio, added $(date) EOF cat << 'EOF' >> /etc/login.conf minio:\ :openfiles-cur=4096:\ :openfiles-max=8192:\ :tc=daemon: EOF # Rebuild capdb cap_mkdb /etc/login.
Intro Wanna run your own Nextcloud Server on OpenBSD … ? Give a Try ! It’s quite trivial as you can see. Just fireup an empty machine, assign an Hostname / DNS Record, and follow the Examples below. This Setup is done on the current Version, 6.9. Have Fun !
