Make Your Own CDN with NetBSD


Learn how to build a self-hosted CDN using NetBSD, Varnish, and nginx

With NetBSD’s broad hardware support and minimal overhead, this setup can run on a wide variety of devices, making it a versatile choice for self-hosted solutions. I’m using it as a test and as a read-only root filesystem with a RAM-only local cache for my blog on a Raspberry Pi Zero W (first edition), and as soon as I get the new FTTH, I’ll probably make it accessible via IPv6 for Italy, putting it physically into production. With multiple reverse proxies, separate DNS servers, and a well-configured cache, you can achieve a highly resilient system with minimal risk of a single point of failure.
