96 GB VPS free for EVERYONE

You can use:
sudo ufw allow 8888
sudo ufw reload
sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 8888 -j ACCEPT
sudo netfilter-persistent save

Then go to your VCN and allow port 8888
Its the bit on the vcn that I'm struggling with, don't worry its not a priority I'll revisit it when I've done some actual work lol

Lol easy peasy you don't need to struggle. Remember I told you not to create that wordpress instance because it's not always free, well create it now.
It will setup a vnc for you with port 80 and 443 open, then delete the vm instance and choose not to delete the associated vnc.
Then you can assign that vnc to whichever vn you like , after that simply open port 8888 by taking example from other open ports
 
They have started putting limits (or limit was already there???)

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.

3000 ÷ 4 ÷ 24 gives you 31 days free for 4 ocpus running 24x7 or 1 4 ocpus VM.Standard.A1.Flex and not 4
18,000 ÷ 24 ÷ 24 gives you 31 days free for 24 GB running 24x7 or 1 24 GB VM.Standard.A1.Flex and not 4

What's better?
4 1ocpu x 6gb Arm vps I guess this one gives you 4+2 ips, so good for pbn
2 2ocpu x 12gb Arm vps
or
1 4ocpu x 24gb Arm vps good for large project, but I am sure there will be other limits too
 
Hey @ManageManga just wanted to thank you again for this guide.

I just setup my first server following your instructions and the video. I have a lot more resources than at my paid hosting.

They have started putting limits
I have a weird config due to that. Something like 3 cores and 17gb ram. It was the max config that didn't trigger the limits warning message.

Everything is working now.

In settings, you can bind the panel to a domain.

Yeah.. I'm already using.. This is working fine
Hey guys, if you made it work, how did you setup the domain? I set up aapanel and I even installed DNS manager.

Pointed the A record to the server IP but somehow it doesn't resolve (been a week already). Tried with another domain at a different registrar, same issue.

What do you mean doesnt resolve? what error/message do you see when you visit the address?

Keeps loading forever. In another browser it says "this site can't be reached" with this error: ERR_ADDRESS_UNREACHABLE

I used a DNS checker and it says all is well, the IP is public too, so no issue there.

Are there any additional DNS settings I need to config in my oracle account?

Yes you need to unblock port 80 and port 443 in your vps and add ingress rules for both of these in your oracle account.

I already added those ingress rules to the vnc. Do I need to add them manually too, like we did with 8888? Sudo ufw 8888 and all that set of commands?

Do this:

sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
sudo netfilter-persistent save

This will add the needed IPtable rules and your server will be reachable now given that you have added the ingress rules properly.

Damn, this worked like a charm!!

Thank you, my man, you are golden! Happy holidays to you!
