Run OpenBSD on DigitalOcean for $4/month

The guide details downloading miniroot79.img, uploading it as a custom image, and creating a 512 MB, 1 vCPU, 10 GB DigitalOcean droplet for $4/month. It runs the installer with default options, enables sshd, adds a non-root user, disables root SSH login, and sets network autoconf. The server then hosts a personal homepage with httpd(8) and obtains Let’s Encrypt certificates via acme-client(1).
