96 GB VPS free for EVERYONE

This video explains the installation in a simple way.

I am calling BS on this free WordPress website method. The guy in this video stitched together multiple video clips makes it look like a cakewalk. You will end up spending days trying to troubleshoot.
The free cyber panel is crap. It's a nightmare to set up DNS and SSL with it.

Yea cyber panel dont work on arm64 anyway,
to install wordpress you need to do the following things:
1) Install Mysql and apache2/nginx
2) upload wordpress to /var/www/html and set the file permissions to 644 and folder to 755 and the user and user group to www-data
3) Allow port 80 (httP) and port 433 (https) in IPtables
4) Setup a VCN or VNC whatever it is called and allow requests on port 80 and 433 (one easy way to do this is simply install their pre built wordpress docker then delete that docker vps , it creates the vnc for you and doesnt get deleted while deleting the vps, so you an use it with your custom vps)
5) Setup wp-config with correct data base details
Thats pretty much it, you can use webmin for apache/nginx and mysql setup btw

No, I don't think so. Because I made it. I'm sending you the site via PM. Check it. I installed cloudflare ssl. By the way, I just made it to try. Everything is working now.

Ok , did you install hostname ssl via cloudflare?
Did you install SSL for cyber panel URL via Cloudflare?

I don't know about you but I ain't doing sys admin stuff, a huge waste of time and always resulting in security holes.
 
Hey guys, really quick from a newbie on the forums, but I have 3 24gb arm vps on oracle (multi account), and what I did was:

1 - Get a Ubuntu 20.14 instance, with 4 arm cores, 24 gb
2 - On boot volume when creating a instance, select custom boot volume and put 200gb os space (is the limit for block volumes on always free)
3 - Check if you have assign public IPV4 selected
4 - SSH to the vps with the public key you downloaded when create the instance
5 - google "debi github" this is a script that convert the Ubuntu image for a minimal Debian one, for some reason, the oracle images keep realoading iptables to a state tha blocks a lot of ports, even if they are open on the subnet. Didn't have this trouble with the minimal debian. Just follow the script
6 - After that, install aaPanel, with the instructions on the site. Is a pretty nifty and light panel. Acess via the Address that is provided. Select your prefered LEMP or LAMP server. Just don't use OpenLiteSpeed. And if you are on MariaDB don't go pass 10.3 mine, is not exactly stable on ARM
7 - Most of the tools work out of the box on the "app store" of the panel, just install the "one click install" and if you use, the mail server and sys firewall and dns manager. DON'T USE THE FAIL2BAN MANAGER. IS BROKEN. If you want, you can install fail2ban via sshd. I reccomend using crowdsec.
8 - With one click install, you can install wordpress, laravel, roundcube and so on, like a poor man softaculous.
9 - In settings, you can bind the panel to a domain. If you are using cloudflare, choose one of the open ports on cloudflare or you will be locked out. And also activate panel SSL, that will give you letsencrypt certs.

Hope it helps, and you can ask me for help if you need it.

Also, I didn't uderstand the 96GB size. Do you mean the OCI Arm Acellerator? If so, it's only valid for a year, or until your credits end, or so is stated on the free tier documents

Thanks, I'll try this too when trial expires. A lot of value here, on top of the massive value that op provided.

There was a trick op talked about. You have to wait for a month for trial to expire and only then upgrade to get 96 gb. Afterwards you can create your servers still free (op correct me if I'm wrong).

Maybe is different on other zones (oracle provide this VPS on a lot of places with really fast same country/region, that's why china and most of the asian countries are always out of stock with this vps, pop wireguard on it and you have a 4gb/s free vpn) but on my zone after the trial is over, I can't create anything other than 24gbs

It is not trick I asked to wait a month to avoid getting your servers shut down after trial. Wait for one month et the trial expire when it does either use your 24 GB VPS, or click on Upgrade account to get 96 GB VPS (still free though)
 
@ManageManga How would one go about upgrade the account? You mean with a fake cc?
Sorry to asking in the thread, but I can't seem to figure out how to message you
You currently have a free/trial account with Oracle, you can click on UPGRADE ont he right sidebar to upgrade your account, or you can visit this:
https://cloud(dot)oracle(dot)com/account-management/payment-method
 
Thanks for the share, already tried it before. Just to inform you, don't know if that works from other Countries, but from Germany Credit Card is not required, you're able to sign up even with a Debit Card.
 
excellent find ! just signed up took 3 mins and a debit card.

Don't use this image it does not fall under always free and will be deleted after one month when you trial expires. Setup wordpress manually or use some script/panel to install wp
