Hi @silicomnet!
Thanks for helping! I've had the instance since last July. This is the first and only issue, which was reported by Hetrix. The instance is now up and running. I can ssh into the instance. My browser can load the simple site the instance serves. I can also get into https://cloud.oracle.com without any problem. The instance says uptime is 237 days.
Seems to me that Oracle is doing a great job! Thanks Oracle! I'm just curious whether anyone else at Phoenix noticed anything around 2023-03-12 03:29:58 (UTC+00:00).
Best!

lowend people here are trying to get oracle vm for free, not paid ones
girlfriends are not low end!
they're pricey, even aws ec2 is cheaper duh
Tutorial needed.
Plus include how to handle my wife when I deploy this solution.
Do you use a ready-to-use APP (e.g. Mailcow), or do you build your own mail server with MTA, webmail and others?
Hello, I recently upgraded my account to PAYG to be safer, I'm running 2 VMs, one for web server and 2nd for mail server to separate them. I was using free smtp relays but now I'm wondering if now can I ask Oracle to open port 25 for me? I also know that It's not possible to set revdns, so mails might be spammy, any solutions?
They set me revdns on free tier 2 years ago. Just ask support for that.
I use Virtualmin (minimal LEMP)... That includes Dovecot (IMAP/POP3) and Postfix (SMTP). There's a learning curve to it, and there's a million little things to configure, but it's much easier than doing it strictly with shell.
If you want something really easy, just use DirectAdmin (or CPanel).
For PAYG, just go to the support portal, create user credentials (you need seperate login credentials for the support portal), and raise a technical service request. In the list of services, select "OCI Compute".
You better use fail2ban if you're going to hosting SMTP, because your server is going to be hammered by all sorts of IPs, like flies to honey.
Search for request and limits and ask them in that to open port 25, then set an A record and open a support request to set rdns
Phone support? You're supposed to use the forum.
I stopped my Oracle instance and am using my VULTR free instance and they unblocked port 25 for me. Works great so far. Might use it as paygo one day just for the SMTP, otherwise it will just sit there as-is.
I'm on the free tier and they sent an email yesterday saying they will be powering off my instances and that I can start them if there is available capacity (right...)
So considering upgrading out of the free tier, however my A1 instance doesn't show as free at the moment while on the free tier. Same for the rest of you?
Yep
Everyone is using scripts to create VMs in Singapore
This is normal and the UI is the same for everyone. There's a callout above this which defines the quantity of free resources on A1 but the label isn't smart enough to work that out itself so it doesn't bother.
Anyone has IPv6 problem in ap-singapore-1 recently? I lost IPv6 address in my debian even though it listed in the dashboard
The same in Zurich
Edit:
dhclient -6 enp0s3fixes thatThanks, it works!
I tried, but I must run this command manually after every reboot.
I followed this guide, but I won't get IPv6.
https://github.com/bohanyang/debi/wiki/甲骨文云服务器自动获取-IPv6
ip -6 route show
and then configure v6 in static mode instead of dhcp?
Thanks a ton, this worked!
I did a clean Debian 12 install.
Create a new file /etc/systemd/network/10-eth0.network with the following content.
Run this command:
systemctl stop networking && systemctl stop ifup@eth0 && systemctl start systemd-networkdthen this:
After the reboot I don't have IPv6 connection
This is your v6 gateway, fe80::200:17ff:fe7f:df56
Dont be a @yoursunny and use static network configuration.
I really noob in linux network config.
I set static ipv6 and works fine.
My config file:
yeah.
Oracle fucked up IPv6 neighbor discovery since few months ago. (Mine at Tokyo region)
and their crappy docs didn't help much. They only have oracle linux conf and it's not even a valid solution, nothing but a temporary one.
For ifupdown
inet6 dhcpdoesn't work, no gateway info sent.neither does
inet6 autoSLAAC alone is not supported from the very beginning I suppose.In order to make it work with ifupdown, you need both SLAAC and DHCPv6
iface enp0s3 inet6 dhcpautoconf 0accept_ra 2(by default net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_ra is 1)
I'm using their ubuntu image and haven't figured out how to do it with netplan. I know I can configure static IPv6 manually via systemd-networkd/netplan but I prefer DHCPv6 or SLAAC.
IPv6AcceptRA=truedoes not work.Anyone knows how?
I end up adding dhclient -6 eth0 in /etc/rc.local
Servers are not showing in my panel. The servers are running but they are not in the panel. Sorry my English. Is there anyone who has experienced the same problem ?
make sure you chose the compartment.
Why do you prefer DHCPv6 may I know?
Can anyone with support access request Oracle to add Debian 12 images for ARM? I know there are some scripts to convert Ubuntu->Debian but I rather use an official Debian iso instead. The Ubuntu pro ads are irritating and I do not want to use snap packages.
Thanks.
It seems to be not possible. Oracle don't want to add the Debian ISOs to their base images.
Simply create an Ubuntu machine and run this script
https://github.com/bohanyang/debi
It simply instals a fresh Debian OS so same as the official way.
Earlier it worked that upload the Debian cloud image to object storage and create an own boot image from it but currently it does not work because always throw error 'you reached the resource limit' so I can't add a new custom image.
