I don't want to build my own computers anymore, and I'll crack them open to add memory, but that's it. there's lots of better ways to spend your free time. like children and family. > Doing *both* (remote managin a VPS) and standing-up and managing your own > hardware is likely the best of both worlds as far as knowledge and > experience goes. It's good to know that Synchronet (hopefully) works good > for either type of sysop. synchronet works well on the vms i run. I use proxmox. I have a linux vm that ran the linux version of synchronet and I have had other bbses on there. Even getting hit with big attacks, it can handle it. Recently I setup a vm for a person that has a high traffic website. that's why i was asking about the ssl. usually i use ngnix or apache but i let it run on synchronet and it's doing fine. cloudflare is doing the ssl. --- þ Synchronet þ ::: BBSES.info - free BBS services ::: .
