Nearly 300 K views of that Oracle video. Nice!
Hopefully, you'll finally get the audience you deserve
Thanks Jonathan, I was totally happy where I was 😅 it was a bit unexpected because I'd never had TH-cam start recommending me like this before, and I didn't think the video was particularly well made compared to some of my others 🤔
Thanks for that video! I probably wouldn't know about it if it wasn't for that.
Thank you for this quality content. Keep up.
Thanks for tutorials, Alex! Great job 👍 But needed more information about managing free storage. What's difference between three 10GB?
First: Thank you, my friend, for this beautiful explanation. Second: I linked my site after completing your explanation with Cloudflare, and I changed the nameservers, and then I can’t access aapanel. Should I add my own aapanel record? one more time
great content very informative. One question how can I change region in free tier? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the info man!
No worries!
Hi , Thank you for this great information . I hope you more advance
Thank you, really helpful info, every few months Oracle send out an Email that there are crucial updates that should be run, but no info on how to do the update, any chance of a tutorial on how to update oracle free tier ? please.
Many THX for your content. With your Video I tried my first steps with Oracle Free Tier computing. I tried to install WireGuard to use it as a VPN Endpoint, when I`m on holiday. I think, in my last step I missconfigured the IP Configuration of the wireguard Interface. Afterwards I think I have a routing problem now. My instance isn't available via ssh anymore. Is there a way to get a connection to the running VM instance via the Oracle Web interface? I found something to install a virtuell console, but when I connect to it, I can't see anything what belongs to my installed VM. Greetings from germany
I configured Kubernetes and wanted to use an ingress-nginx-controller to Host multiple Services with one Domain. But unfortunately IT does not automatically create a load balancer, because there ist no Provider in the Cluster config.
In VM( virtual machine)Any daily or monthly limit for upload or download ?
Do you own the code you put on the free machines or does it become oracle property?
I created my account and I was happily using it and had deployed my nodejs server on docker and one day(within 20 days) out of nowhere, my site is inaccessible and when I login to check what the issue is, I find out that my tenancy has been terminated. Not much traffic, one or two users. After pointing it to a domain, I started getting a lot of hacker traffic, bots trying to brute force their way in, since it was a custom nodejs server, it couldn't be brute forced and I had pretty good security in place.
I contacted the support, they'd ask are you a paid or free member and then give a msg that your account was terminated automatically and that they can't reinstate that and that's it, nothing further, support agent exits! No reason whatsoever! Any idea what could be the possible reason as to why it was terminated by the system automatically, what I may have done wrong?
Thanks for the great Q&A. How about recommending a reliable backup service for restoration when the site is down?
I got the free tier after your last video, thank you. I just wondered though do you solely use the boot volume as storage? You can attach and persist a block volume upto 153 GB, which is a bit of a faff and not easy to follow. Do you plan to show this in another video ? Thanks
I have a listing website done Using WordPress on the free tier. Typically any change happens eg. Adding new listing, updating the content and so on should be sending an email to my email address. I've configured the plugin with my email, but because the free tier does not allow to send emails. Would any of the solutions provided be able to become like a middleware between my website and the emails being sent to myself?
Hi, I created free tier instance earlier & everything was fine. Recently they did update within a subset of Availability Domains in my selected region, they reminded me to migrate instance but I was unable to understand how to. Now the instance is terminated & I am unable to retrieve data & when I try to create an instance with the old boot volume, they show "No shapes are available in the selected availability domain", What can I do now? Thanks
Great video my friend 👍🍉🤣
👍
Do make a video on google cloud and aws too.
I tried many times signup using credit cards and master card. But still it always rejected. I don't know why.
thanks for your tutorial, please i need help with putty ssh, i have not been able to connect the VM, i get putty fatal error. please can you do a tutorial on how to connect and solve the network time out error
Hi I have enabled 1 instance of Ampere and using 24GB ram and 4OCpu's. If I left it on running for whole month is it still free ? Like I actually read that it is O3000 first hour cpu free per month what is the meaning of this ? Can you explain

Hey I got a question: can you create a second account with a different credit card who has the same name & address? As I lost access to my primary account
my instance has been terminated after 2 months and i can't start it any solution ?
Thank you. can you make a tutorial on managing multiple website on the cloud? how much resources you need? how to distribute the resources between them etc.. cheers
Usually around 100MB ram per basic site, 1000MB for woocommerce - as a rough guide
@@IdeaSpot thanks
Is there a tutorial how to backup my always free ubuntu instance, and how to restore it back (when i mess something i can restore to my last working image)?
Thanks for answering many questions we had, but I have one last question: can we get both AMD and arm 4 cores servers at the same time in the free tier, or should we choose only on option?
you can use both, even split the ARM into two 2cpu instances works ok too
is it allowed to use it as a streamer for youtube chanel?
Thank you for the informations! Can you run docker on the free tier vm?
Yes should be ok ✅
I'm from Portugal, and I tried to create an account and on the very last step, even after que payment method verification "I get the green check", I get an error processing the payment. I tried several different cards (debt card, credit card, even revolut card). Always get the same error. I contacted the support and received the worst answer I ever received from any support "we can't help you with your problem". Just that!!!
i had sign up issue and crap support - asked me to reinstall my browser and claimed that was the issue. I found it strange. I tried with 3 different browsers and same issue.. real reason is the link only works within 30min. Nothing to do with my browsers. She claimed she tried the link i gave and it worked for her. BS.
Anyway, i suspect final failure was due to me choosing server outside my home region. But my home region doesn’t have all the features.
Hi, Need HELP! after few hours SSH private key is showing error and is not connecting via putty.
Checked the Oracle instance dashboard there it says keys are changed periodically.
Can you plzz guide/help to get putty connection to Oracle instance. By updating to new key.
Finally, I've managed an issue with validation payment cards, as it turned out the Oracle doesn't accept any Virtual/prepaid cards. So, I use my "debit" card and got a success verification.😎
i used prepaid card with no issue.
@@piotrzakrzewski5643 What card do you use?
Love the follow up video. I never thought that I would have questions to ask until saw this.
However, now that I have seen this and all the comments, I'd like to request for a video using Webinoly on the A1 flex shape for running WordPress.
Then, on another Always Free instance like the AMD Shape that has only 1OCPU and 1GB RAM, run a mail server for the website in the A1 instance or something else (if possible) simultaneously to show that using both instances (or more free instances) work on an always free account.
I know this is a lot to ask, but yes, I think you should also show us a way to keep everything secured as well.
Whether it shall or it shall not be, it matters not.
Thanks a lot.
If it weren't for you.
I wouldn't have known what to do.
I was educated and now I yearn.
For more to learn.
Thanks again.... =D
I think I’ll do a webinoly video soon, but would rather use other services for email as I mentioned in this video
I have one question, i have subscribed to another region and i want to know if i can use always free resources in regions other than my home region? If i change my region and try to create an instance, i see always free eligible tag is avilable, but i read somewhere that you can use always free resources only in your home region, I have upgraded my account to paid so i could get different region lol coz home one is out of capacity always
i dont have credit card . i have debit card account .can i login to the oracle free tier ?
How i can create More than one server through the free resources?
1. Germany is a good location.
2. Mailjet provides a free SMTP relay. Or use Yandex (always better)
3. Nginx works fine
4. Had some issues with MySQL 8.0. MariaDB 10 works fine.
excellent comments, I'll give mariadb10 a try. Mailjet & Yandex seem like nice options too, will add them to my list of stuff to try :D

I created Free Tier and now am trying to logging in but am getting this Error " We have detected that your tenancy has been federated to another Identity Provider ". I am not able to login. Please help me
I tried also dozens of times to sign up using several cards and at the end ,although the card verification step was OK, it got rejected. The answer of customer support for this: We are unable to resolve.
it has to be credit card, can't be debit or prepaid
@@SebastianQuinnellyi used a debit card. Name wasn't even correct

Is the Oracle Always Free Flexible Load Balancer (10Mbps) fast enough for real case? How many estimated concurrent connections can it handle?
Hey there. It’s good for exposing instances behind a private subnet and using a singular public IP. It’s mainly useful for Proof of Concept work prior to deploying production, light websites and services.
Edit: To answer your second question. There’s no limit to how many concurrent connections you can have, but is recommended to have stateless security rules when using it for higher volumes of traffic.
Hey, is it possible to create CS1.6 Server for free on this ???
I tried to apply from Italy and I performed all the signup steps with success (included my credit card verification) but at the end the procedure completed with a no-go. I asked for a justification to Oracle Support, let's see what they answer. Could be that being from Italy I selected an US region?
i got a US region from Australia, it was ok!
Do you know if they accept Postepay for credit card verification? Thanks
Same happened to me, from Finland, I tried like 6 credit and debit cards, none of them worked..
After all this time since you commented, this is still a problem, I've tried to sign up to no avail, customer support is useless 😕

Does anyone know if there is a way to see when / which of the VM.Standard.A1.Flex compute instances are regarded as part of the Always Free Tier and when / which of them are not? Oracle's note on the instances page says "Each tenancy gets the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free to create Ampere A1 Compute instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape (equivalent to 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory). Each tenancy also gets two VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro instances for free. Learn more about Always Free resources". I have 2 instances of VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro and they are clearly labelled as "Always Free"... great! But I also have 1 instances of VM.Standard.A1.Flex with 2 OCPU and 12GB RAM, which is way below the available 4 OCPU, 24 GB memory as noted. This (A1.Flex) is however NOT indicated in any way as being "Always Free", so now that my 30 days of free trial has ended, Oracle send me an email, saying that at the end of the month, I will lose all resources which are not included in the Free Tier. So how can I know whether I will lose this A1.Flex instance, and why... seeing that their info / note suggests that the A1.Flex IS in fact also available in the free tier, with the stated limits in terms of OCPU hours, number of OCPUs and memory... and yes, I have read through the FAQs, etc. and I'm still confused because I can not find absolute clarity about the A1.Flex free tier status.
relax dude 😅 24hrs in a day X 31 days in a month X 4 CPU = 2976 (~3000) ocpu hours, same thing with 24gb ram (GB hours) ive been using this over a year, its definitely free
@@IdeaSpot Thanks for the reassurance :) I was getting worried that Oracle will delete my nicely setup Ubuntu Minetest game server :D
how to build free smtp on oracle ??
Hi @ideaspot
Can you do a free pbx tutorial
Brother when i create E2.1.Micro , in instance list it will be display Always free,
But when i create A1.Flex, it will be not display always free in instance / so it's free or not ?
you can see it says always free - screenshot: snipboard.io/6Yw17b.jpg
I have setup two-factor authentication in my oracle free tier account, but unfortunately I lost the phone I setup the authenticator in, now my question is how can I remove the authenticator from my oracle account
Hi; I bought two free oracle insatance. 4 core 24gb ram Ampera CPU. It costs me about 0.06 EURO per day oracle Billing (for block storage) service Whereas I bought it from completely free services. where did i go wrong ?
I think : 4 CPU + 24Gb RAM is max for free tier. If you want to use two instances, you can create 2 CPU + 12Gb ram for each instance, or 1 CPU + 6Gb RAM each instance if you create 4 instances
Thank you for making such a nice video.
Thanks for your valuable tutorials
I hope if you make a video about IBM cloud, they also offer the same free tier, but I don't know why they deactivated my account after creating it in less than 12 hours although I didn't even use any of their services
IBM is one I haven’t tried but will look when I have a chance
IBM's free tier does not seem as clear to exactly what you get without signing up.... I don't see anywhere where it mentions what type of hardware it's running on, or how many cores or ram you get? One thing I did notice is : After 30 days of no development activity, your service instances with Lite plans are deleted. Maybe that' s what happened to you???
I have only debit visa card, but I cannot add payment method step. Please suggest me
I have a new video for this coming soon 😄
Does Oracle decide to delete the account under normal circumstances?
A doubt, for being a Free instance, does the oracle team have full access to the files that I will copy to this machine?
Yes, unless you encrypt the data - if you want a secure open source file storage have a look at Nextcloud 👍
Here’s some good info on the topic, it’s true for all vps - not only free oracle security.stackexchange.com/questions/103666/could-a-vps-provider-have-access-to-the-content-of-their-users
Is there a way to skip the 30 day trial and just get to the always free tier?
I think you'll have it straight up
yes, just use the free tier straight away
I tried, I was following all documented free tier things and yet it still took credit, I checked the FAQ and it said that once the credit is out or 30 days is over, all instances will be deleted, so I guess that means I’ll have to make powerful instances to drain the credit then use free tier

Yeah it’s painful 😓
Maybe try AWS or google cloud if u still can’t get it
Same here. Was trying many times to sign up and always fails after verified credit card. This is very strange, my credit card passed varification and then short later I got a message that my card isn't fit for them. (((
@@cranebird1467 I don't know if this is a scam or Oracle finally wising up. I have not heard from anyone successful of late yet these guys keep putting out vids about this always free tier... sounds similar to a free mini fridge

@@IdeaSpot you can explain to OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours unit in desreption this:
"All tenancies get the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape, which has an Arm processor"
some thing it’s the equivalent of 4 arm and 24gb ram for the month, ie always free docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm
