A 25-year-old Sun Netra X1 SPARC server was successfully configured to host a static website from a home garage. The setup runs OpenBSD 7.8 with httpd serving HTML/CSS, uses pf firewall with strict default-deny rules, and leverages Cloudflare tunnels for secure internet exposure without port forwarding. Hardware modifications included Noctua fan replacements for quieter operation. The server uses only 55MB RAM and serves a retro-styled about page, with traffic proxied through a Proxmox LXC container running cloudflared since the daemon doesn't support Sparc64 architecture.

Can my SPARC server host a website?
