Welcome to tilde.institute! This is an OpenBSD machine whose purpose is to provide a space in the tildeverse for experimentation with and education of the OpenBSD operating system. A variety of editors, shells, and compilers are installed to allow for development in a native OpenBSD environment. OpenBSD's httpd(8) is configured with slowcgi(8) as the fastcgi provider and sqlite3 is available. This allows users to experiment with web development using compiled CGI in C (or any statically-linked binary), aka the BCHS Stack. In addition to php7.3, this provides an environment where the development of complex, responsive web apps is possible.

User sites are accessible via https://<user>.tilde.institute
