Oracle 2x Free 1GB VPS (EPYC) + Free Oracle DB

For all of you who don't know that oracle offers 2 VPS with 1GB RAM (yes with IPv4) for free for life.
Also check out their free databases, they are fast as hell (even Amazon is using those, because their own solution is to slow, lol).

Don't forget to change your standard search engine to ecosia.org to help planting some trees.

I have this.
But the panel is confusing for me, compared to Google or azure.
I can't figure out how to open a port.

Haha, that was my problem too.
When I opened one port it was still unavailable (closed), then I just opened all ports and it worked.
Do you need a hint?

Hey, thanks.
I'll have a look.

Free is good. Looks like no full core access
I bench YABS 24/7/365 unless it's a leap year.
Would be pretty expensive if they offer 2 dedicated epyc cores for free. Right?

Yep.
They do a phone number validation and 1$ charge Wich get reversed.
Fair enough since you get about 200$ credits to play for a month too.

Don't stick anything valuable on these...they close free accounts sporadically
lol.. card charged twice, status shows declined both times. This is not for me. :-)

Your account will be cancelled if you don't login to the panels every xx days; even if you do login, they can still delete your servers for no reason.
You can create a new vm if your old one gets cancelled, but iirc non of my free VMs lasted more than 2 months.
I appreciate their free service, but do make sure that you don't put anything serious with them.
Same for me. It charged me thrice. No reversal yet
They hv smthing with Indian cards ithink
Webhosting - NVMe SSD, Cloudlinux, Litespeed, SSH Access
KVM VPS Singapore | 256MB NAT VPS - LA, NY, CH, NL, IN, SG, JP starts $7 per year!
The VM comes with 1/8 CPU. Probably pretty cheap. Their investors are getting nervous, so they're probably doing this to get market share.
But yeah, very appealing. Considering whether to sign up now or later. I don't have a particular use case now (mind you, I have my own servers) for the $300 credit, so that would go to waste after the first month. Probably should wait until I have a real use case for that credit.

I remember reading about that on LET a while back. I registered for this service back in February, and have a server that's been running with them since then. I sign into their panel about once every 2 weeks, and so far nothing has been mysteriously delete or cancelled from my experiences.
I signed into their panel after 4mos.
The Mumbai instance I'd spun up in launch week is still up.
Guess I need to investigate putting this to some dumb use.
How did you get past the credit card issue?

Wasn't any. Card from #1 PSU. Rhymes with yesPeeEye Card
cool... your spelilng is awesome.. Visa or MC? I tried both times - 2 different Visa

I had to check my wallet on the new validity card. It's a Visa (Platinum : no idea what that signifies)
I'll plant my own trees but thanks for the failed shaming attempt.
so say we all
Sad.
You didn't understand.

Right back @ you, buddy.

Woops.
I've been idling much longer than I thought.
Do not be surprised to see 60-75 range Cpu-Steal% when running apt dist-upgrade.
This is strictly a sandbox vm.
This is good for very light project, like personal wordpress blog, or small backup server (50Gb?). Performance is meh, but hey i’ts free VPS from Oracle..
Disabling swappin' might help with performance.
so say we all
how you do that with the oracle vps?
I just "swapoff -a". Do sync and drop caches because if you've used more swap than you have available ram, that command will not work.

As someone else said, don't put anything valuable on them.
They're basically doing the free thing because they rapidly needed to build infrastructure and customers. At the same time, the employees must be figuring it out as they make facepalm mistakes.
I signed up last year and lost three servers so far due to their incompetence. One of those times, they fucked something up on their end and sent out an email saying they fixed it and server should be operational, but it wasn't.
One time, they accidentally emailed out what was supposed to be an internal memo telling the team they're running out of storage and need ideas ASAP to recover space. It's a clown show.
I'm holding on, hopefully they'll get their act together.
With 50MB/s disk and network limits, and almost always overloaded (I've never seen top show loads of 78.0 before) there's lots of better servers to get for data/services you care about.
Anyone managed to get @Nyr 's wireguard install script working ?
