Aihe: Re: [DNG] Hi all
Welcome to the club, and I hope you enjoy Devuan.

Similar to you, I have two devices that are installed Devuan. I dont have any option again except when I want to have fun and try musl distro.

I have a FreeBSD server for web and mail servers. I'm happy with that.

My mailserver and webserver (currently both on Ubuntu) will also be changed soon, when I have time to dig into it. I have been experiencing (i) persistent problems with the webserver where systemd won't let the server process run, seems to think it is respawning too fast or something, and (ii) a one-off problem with the mailserver where all networking failed and investigation eventually revealed that systemd-resolved was the cause, however the problem went away after I enabled diagnostics and restarted systemd-resolved... didn't give a confident feeling for the future!

It might be because I was on Debian via Ubuntu via Mint, whereas now I'm on Debian via Devuan, and there could be less cruft added. And in particular the bootup seems a lot quicker, which is surprising really since one of the claims about systemd is that its dependency based startup should be quicker. Hmm. Anyway I have always found systemd to be quite oppressive, since I haven't got time to waste on sysadmin tasks beyond quickly searching and maybe downloading a script or whatever. To create systemd units is quite a learning curve, and although I've done that in the past I've never really been sure I did it right. And I could not be bothered learning the syntax for things line systemctl, journalctl and whatnot -- I'd rather use simpler commands to view logs and such.
