How to install OpenBSD on DigitalOcean

OpenBSD is a popular, multi-platform, free, and highly secure Unix-like operating system. Installing OpenBSD is an easy task that involves downloading the installation media and then booting our system with it.

Today, our experts are going to demonstrate how to install OpenBSD on a DigitalOcean server.

1. First, we have to create a FreeBSD droplet and then power it off.
2. Next, head to the Networking section in the droplet and note down the Public network:
   • Public IPv4 address
   • Public gateway
   • Subnet mask
3. Then, we have to open the DigitalOcean web console and choose the droplet.
4. After that, head to Boot from Recovery ISO under Recovery.
5. Next, we have to boot the droplet and choose option 6 from the boot menu for a shell.
6. Now, it is time to get the OpenBSD Installer.
7. After that, we have to write the Installer to the first hard disk and then power off the droplet.
8. Then, we will navigate to Boot from Hard Drive under Recovery. Here we will be able to see the OpenBSD installer.
9. Next, our experts recommend looking at this to easily configure the newly installed host.
