Hello SelfHosted!

I have recently setup my own free tier oracle VPS and am looking to get my feet wet with some simple services that I can host on there to get started.

I should mention I have successfully setup SSH with the private key so that part is good to go.

Any ideas are welcome!

    You can prevent this by adding a credit card to your account. It “upgrades” your status, and then as long as you stay in the free tier allocations you won’t be charged.

        Do https://privacy.com then! Can set it to like $10 limit in case they charge a tiny bit to test the card and you’ll never spend more.

          They do a $100 test charge IIRC when upgrading to their PAYG (pay-as-you-go) tier. They also don’t like virtual/prepaid CCs.
