Successfully installed gentoo on a Oracle always-free 4xARM 24GB RAM instance! (reddthat.com)

Was able to install gentoo on a Oracle always-free instance. It has 4x ARM CPUs and 24 GB RAM. Those specs are really nice for a free instance.

for now I'll use it to self host some public facing services. Who knows, maybe I'll host a personal lemmy instance on it :)

With portage updating packages periodically, I am sure I will be hitting the 15% CPU threshold easily ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

The process was actually pretty easy. Granted, I did not yet mess with the kernel or the boot process yet.

I'm honestly surprised how easily doable the install process was. I just created a gentoo install chroot, then replaced all the directories from the main root with ones from the gentoo chroot.

I'd gladly build lemmy from source myself. I suppose it is in the spirit of gentoo!
