OpenBSD installation and support.
Corenil Limited provides independent OpenBSD installation, configuration and technical support for organizations that want understandable, controlled and maintainable infrastructure.
Our approach begins with the operating requirements of each organization and the responsibilities involved in keeping its systems available and secure.
Support grounded in practical system operation
Corenil uses OpenBSD in its own application infrastructure. The same emphasis on clear boundaries, restrained complexity and inspectable configuration guides our independent support work.
Installation and administration
Planning and configuring OpenBSD servers, system services, user access, updates and basic operating procedures.
Network access and security
Configuration and review of pf firewall rules, SSH access, VPN connectivity and network exposure appropriate to the deployment.
Web and application hosting
OpenBSD httpd, slowcgi and related application hosting arrangements, including integration with PostgreSQL-backed systems.
Documentation
Recording configuration decisions, service dependencies and operating procedures so that maintenance does not depend on individual memory.
Maintenance and review
Reviewing existing installations, identifying configuration gaps and agreeing on a practical approach to updates and ongoing administration.
Recovery preparation
Reviewing backup arrangements, restoration procedures and recovery requirements. Recovery outcomes must be verified through testing.
The aim is not complexity. It is infrastructure an organization can understand and maintain.
A well-configured server is only part of a dependable service. The organization also needs clear access rules, a maintenance plan, documented responsibilities and tested recovery arrangements.
Corenil approaches each engagement with those operational needs in view. Scope and responsibilities are agreed before work begins.
How an engagement begins
We first establish what is already in place, what the organization needs, and which changes can be undertaken safely.
1. Understand the environment
Discuss the server, network, applications, access requirements and current operating arrangements.
2. Agree the scope
Identify the proposed work, its limitations, responsibilities and any maintenance or recovery requirements.
3. Implement and document
Carry out the agreed work with appropriate verification and retain the information needed for future administration.
OpenBSD and Corenil
OpenBSD is an independent, freely available operating system developed by the OpenBSD Project. Corenil uses it as a foundation for its private application infrastructure.
For further information about the operating system itself, visit the official OpenBSD website.
Independent support
Corenil Limited is an independent provider of OpenBSD-related services. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the OpenBSD Project.
Corenil's business operating-records software and its OpenBSD infrastructure services are distinct offerings. An organization may enquire about either service independently.
Begin with your infrastructure requirements.
Describe your current OpenBSD environment or the system you intend to establish. We can then discuss an appropriate, clearly defined scope of support.
