DigitalOcean - expect inoperable ipv6. Tangentially related to https://github.com/vedetta-com/caesonia/issues/151.

OpenBSD.Amsterdam. Duh. Why is AES-NI an requirement? To help speed up the key generation and GPG actions?

Why is AES-NI an requirement? To help speed up the key generation and GPG actions?

Although everything works without AES-NI, I would require it for performance reasons:

  • Dovecot replication over SSH
  • Backups over SSH
  • Auto-GPG inbound https://github.com/vedetta-com/caesonia/issues/145
  • VPN (ipsec) tunnels e.g. for logs (I experiment with this ;)

The hostname, in DO control panel, must be set to the real hostname for reverse DNS. Thanks Franz Geffke for the link! Tested on 2019-01-31
