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!

I hope it lasts for you, I created one as a secondary to my main paid VPS elsewhere. The oracle one just vanished. No warning in advance, no email and very confusingly no evidence that it ever even existed. Thankfully I had no data of note on it. So free, yes - but utterly unreliable. I was just using it to learn and it had no reason to be deleted such as breaching any fair use etc
