    As far I know, you need to log in every 60 days. But my account was active even after more than 120 days.

    This was listed for a while on some page on their website, but then they removed that.

    Just get a cheap $12/year vps from popular providers on LET. You can save much time and effort than dealing with problems from Oracle.

    $12/year for 24GB memory?

    You need a Host Rep tag to reply to requests

    I only rent out 24GB memory for $12/year this time.
    I don't think there will be another weird user who only needs 24GB memory and nothing else.

    Weren't you trying to rent a VPS for yourself only a couple of days ago? That doesn't suggest you're best suited to act as a provider for someone else.

    Getting 24 gigs of ram with 4 ocpu's and IPv4 is pretty generous, and logging in every 60 days isn't that hard either.

    Why do I need to login every 60 days? I'm trying to reduce electricity usage costs.
    I don't want to get blamed for global warming.

    My bad it was a dedi. https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/comment/3466187#Comment_3466187

    I just meant it seemed a bit odd that just a couple of days after you try to rent a dedi, you're happy to rent out 24GB/4c for less than pro-rata cost price of that dedi that you maybe just rented from someone else.

    Of course, it'd be possible to do that if your own use case requires many cores and little RAM from that dedi, but it still seems strange. Anyway, I'm probably wrong. Ignore my comment.

  • comXyzcomXyz Member

    @ralf you're wrong, I only rent out 24GB RAM, nothing else. No CPU, no storage, no IP address.

    I created Arm instance with 200GB volume. There are no other instances. But my VM is not showing that 200GB drive. Where is that drive?

    [opc@arm ~]$ df -H

    This is what control panel shows.

    By the way I can still save data on boot volume, right? The main purpose of boot volume is to store OS and other related stuff but we can also store user data?

    That depends...having data on different drive will save you trouble if later you want to reinstall the os,or if having corrupted os...

    There is a few post up that tells you about partition resizing...

    Edit:
    Here it is:

    @miau said: you have to invoke /usr/libexec/oci-growfs to expand it manually (this is the easy way, not sure about non-OL distro tho).

    This command did the trick. Now my drive is showing:

    How do I open incoming port 80 on Arm instance? I have added this Ingress rule in Virtual Cloud Network but it doesn't seem to be working. The first three rules are added by Oracle while the last one is added by me.

    I have installed nginx and when I open browser and type my public IP then it doesn't show default nginx page. By the way I noticed that there is no default website created in nginx so may be this is one of the reason (and 2nd reason could be port 80 issue). Normally when I install nginx on Debain, it always creates a default website at /etc/nginx/sites-available/default but here the directory sites-available doesn't exist.

    looks like you have all ports forwarded to the ssh port

    The rule is right and fine, it's default by Oracle. The source port is just set to any, because it'll be random.

    It's a firewall to open/close ports, it's not forwarding ports.

    Instead of this, use firewalld.
    Much easier.
