as lagopus is still a wip, i set up a little fallback thing on corsac, so now the autumn forest displays a silly message if my server is down :3
Digitigrade @ git cbb4087
okie now she has her own custom oage and actually returns 503 ^~^
openbsd
OpenBSD's philosophy of "everything you need is included" works very well for a shrimple VPS like Corsac
most things get proxied using built-in relayd to Lagopus (443, SSH, XMPP) with a very simple three-line-per-proxy config. relayd also supports healthchecks - so for HTTPS, it expects a 200 from Host autumnfo.rest from Lagopus, otherwise it just . moves on to the fallback
said fallback is built-in httpd. you can just specify "yo load the error pages from this dir" and it just does, so it blanket-returns 503 & loads 503.html from a dir and Just Works
i love it sm for situations like this
