Cloud Servers for the Broke

Just wanted to put this out there as a little PSA in case it's helpful: if you want a cloud server but don't wanna pay anything, Oracle's Free Tier is a life saver. Discovered it a year ago and couldn't be happier I did, since I'd never pay for cloud computing otherwise 😭.

Quick Specs:

For free you get:

24/7 uptime

200gb of storage space

24GB of RAM

4 OCPUs

4 Gbps Bandwidth

That's been more than enough for me and honestly feels too good to be true. Some things I've done with this:

Minecraft Server

Radarr/Sonarr Plex Setup

I'd like to make my own backup solution as well!

If anyone has any other ideas for cool projects I could self host, please do tell I'm curious what else I could do :)
