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!

Oracle a company to actively avoid doing business with or realying on in any way.

Spend the $5 for a commodity VPS from literally any standard vendor. I suggest Vultr.

You mean Racknerd correct?

They are great, I have a couple of servers with them (including the one that's hosting my lemmy instance)

I snagged a couple of VPS from Racknerd in the Black Friday sale. One of them became a home for my Mastodon instance and now the other gets my new Lemmy instance. No issues to speak of with them yet, so I'm perfectly happy with 'em.
