Instead of hosting at home, I've decided to go to the cloud and I LOVE the package you get with Oracle. You get enough computer hours for 2 amd based and 4 ARM based compute instances with generous network allocations.

Perfect for those of us who are just playing around with stuff and don't have a spare PC/Device :)

Hope this post helps someone have some fun!

and you should know they ban accounts for no reason as well.

Setup an uptime Kuma server and they banned me without any warning or notification 😑

maybe it looks like a c&c for some botnet or w/e.

can you make a new account with a new email? I know AWS lets you make new accounts very easily

My Vm is still working but i can't for the life of me get in to my account.. i keep getting emails to say it's locked but i never receive the reset password email...

Yeah, that's the problem when something like that is free. It's better to always have backups.

I use my Oracle VPS just for Wireguard to bypass CGNAT. I wouldn't host anything important there.
