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!

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.
