why X?
also I could go down the lfs route, that's another learning tool I'll get around to, eventually.
what got me interested in *BSD is this article, from what I was told linux users are gonna miss the gnu coreutils, thats another route I want to explore, eventually it would make sense to use it for the public facing webserver.

Some folks aren't good at management without a GUI.
10Eur KS-2E or look in this $20 thread
Depending on your location you can get some old Dell or HP workstations that are out of warranty for close to your budget, assuming you have a TV that can be used as a monitor.
@KuJoe You completely typo'd "Packard Bell".
You completely tripped over your time machine.
That is likely because I had to login to Wervyn again to restart my instance.
Step 1. Find a part time job.
Step 2. Earn enough to pay current prices.
Step 3. Order what you need.
Just because this is for a hobby/learning doesn't mean it decreases the cost for providers, especially if you need a public IP for each instance.
Nested virt is not recommended and possibly disallowed in some providers ToS because it can be resource intensive.
The only other option already suggested is to run your own server but then you're going to pay electricity costs for the whole year if you power it 24/7.
The worst that can happen is you use more than 15GB of bandwidth and they will start charging your card.
Even if you go the nested route where are going to find a 1GB RAM KVM with 100GB HDD for $20/year? I haven't seen anything like that.
You are best off with hourly instances, I think. So you'd keep them running only while you are actively doing stuff with them.
Interestingly timed bump from two nicknames active in another thread.
@dada216 How was that derailing? It was merely a suggestion.
Having said that, you can technically install Docker on a VZ server.
Perhaps, the responsible (sensible?) thing for you would be to save $.50 cents a day( since this's a hobby and not a life or death situation). You should have extra $30 to spend in two months(bringing your total to $50).
Alternatively, skip coffee, meat, beer or whatever 3 days a week and you should be able to save $30 a month no matter how poor you think you are.
