Deploy VM on OpenBSD Amsterdam

OpenBSD in Amsterdam is running dedicated vmd(8) servers to host opinionated VMs.

Send your name, email address, hostname, username, and public SSH key to OpenBSDAms via contact form, Twitter, or Mastodon, before you pay.

For example:

Roman Zolotarev
hi@romanzolotarev.com
www.romanzolotarev.com
romanzolotarev
ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIIqh7BmO... 1500469202

Please allow few hours for your VM to be started. You'll get IPv4 (and IPv6) address as soon as your VM is deployed. Login to the VM (assuming your private SSH key is in its default location):

$ ssh username@XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
OpenBSD 6.3 (GENERIC) #4: Sun Jun 17 11:09:51 CEST 2018
