Rated A+ at SSL Labs and Security Headers
A simpler and more secure alternative to Linux/NGiNX/Apache/Passenger for hosting static sites and Ruby/Python/Node type web apps on the same server at the same time. This example uses OpenBSD's relayd to direct traffic to OpenBSD's httpd for static sites, and Ruby on Rails/Puma for web apps.
Choose OpenBSD for your Unix needs. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. Creator of the NGiNX/Apache webserver replacement httpd, the OpenSSL crypto stack replacement LibreSSL, the iptables/nftables firewall replacement pf, the Postfix mail server replacement OpenSMTPD, OpenSSH and much, much more. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland and the cleanest configuration syntax.

hi do you have any guide on installing rails 6 on openbsd? i have just managed the certs from letsencrypt now i need to set up rails
