Make your own CDN with NetBSD

After covering setting up your own CDN with both FreeBSD and OpenBSD, it's now time to learn how to set up your own CDN wit NetBSD.

This article is a spin-off froma previous post on how to create a self-hosted CDN, but this time we'll focus on usingNetBSD. NetBSD is a lightweight, stable, and secure operating system that supports a wide range of hardware, making it an excellent choice for a caching reverse proxy. Devices that other operating systems may soon abandon, such as early Raspberry Pi models or i386 architecture, are still fully supported by NetBSD and will continue to be so. Additionally, NetBSD is an outstanding platform for virtualization (usingXenorqemu/nvmm) and deserves more attention than it currently receives.

Stefano Marinelli

All the same from my previous post still applies, and it's a great thing that Marinelli covers all three of the major BSDs (so far). If you want to run your own CDN on BSD, you can now make a pretty informed decision on which BSD best suits your needs.
