I said it was dead-simple and you delivered a treatise describing the most complex use case possible. Then maybe it's not for you. Most software in the OpenBSD base system lacks features on purpose. Their dev team frequently rejects patches and feature requests without compelling reasons to exist. Less features means less places for things to go wrong means less chance of security bugs. It exists so their simple webserver (also in the base system) has ACME support working out of the box. No third party software to install, no bullshit to configure, everything just works as part of a super compact OS. Which to this day still fits on a single CD-ROM. Most of all no stupid Rust compiler needed so it works on i386 (Rust cannot self-host on i386 because it's so bloated it runs out of memory, which is why Rust tools are not included in i386). If your needs exceed this or you adore complexity then feel free to look elsewhere. |
