Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

In my experience the Oracle Always Free ARM A1 instances are really good. There's nothing I've really struggled to run on it personally, but I've never opened anything up to the public.
However, as @[email protected] said, Oracle tend to remove your instance without warning. You can mitigate this by "upgrading" to a paid account and adding your credit card info. As long as you stay within the free limits you'll never be charged - but of course it is a risk! And they might still pull the rug anyway...
I should upgrade my account then. My bank allows me to generate internet credit cards with a money limit, which I can just set to 0 B)
They'll make an initial reservation of around $100 on the card, so don't set the limit to 0 right away.
The $100 is never charged, of course but you need the balance.
