4 ARM64 cores, 24GB of RAM and 200GB of storage, and some other resources and older x86, for the low low price of free. 10TB outgoing limit, no incoming limit as far as I know. You can setup one or many VPS using the resources.
https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/
I have a a full media stack running on one - Plex, Tautulli, Sonarr, Radarr, NZBGet, Qbittorrent, Jackett among other services like Portainer, YTDL, Traefik. I've seen 8+ streams with 4 or 5 720p transcodes, the CPU is pegged but it keeps up.
For storage I use a combo of services. Rclone, mounting a remote google drive to /mnt/remote. Cloudplow, takes stuff from /mnt/local folder and directly uploads to the remote drive via gdrive API using the same rclone config. And mergerfs, takes the /mnt/remote and /mnt/local folders and combines them into a /mnt/merged folder. The /mnt/merged folder is the main folder for media, downloads, etc. Any writes are first stored in /mnt/local.
I describe that setup to demonstrate the capacity of a free service, of course much less complex for a seedbox.
I know almost nothing about servers but that sounds very capable. Why do they offer it for free? How many lemmy users do you think it can handle?
Free because you can roll into a paid service easily, it's a trap really. But if you can stay within the free limits then it's gold.
Lots of users. Depends on storage requirements, 200GB could be limiting if you want to host media.
F that, lots of free image hosts exist.
I never managed to pass the sign-up form, I gave up with Oracle. If you are able to access it, please abuse their resources the most possible
As far as I'm aware you only get a 1 gb ram instance on Oracle cloud free, where are you getting this 24 gb ram instance?
That's true for x86, but the Ampere free tier allows up to 24GB.
I just checked, my area domain (or whatever that's called) does not have the machines to provision 🥲
Ah that sucks, can you setup a tenancy in a different location?
