https://blogs.oracle.com/developers/install-run-discourse-for-free-in-the-oracle-cloud This blog post is from last year. I didn’t see any mention here; I think Oracle as a hosting company is off the radar for most people. So, before I posted I decided to try it myself to see if it’s really viable.…

Correct, because your server doesn’t have enough physical RAM. It failed the system requirements check, so installation didn’t proceed. You need 1GB RAM to install, and a 1GB system will also need swap. You don’t have 1GB, your system isn’t supported. See: [immagine] Discourse wo…

I’ve tried this and the old adage rings true: you get what you pay for. [immagine] ddf: But check on cli is not 1GB … Don’t know why. The default is image Oracle Linux, which does not have 1GB as advertised. I used the Ubuntu image that is eligible for the free tier and that did have 1GB. Or…

one addition to the free Oracle tier - you can also select the new “Ampere” ARM instances, with up-to 4 cores and 12 GB of RAM in the free tier. Installation of Discourse works without a glitch on ARM processors apparently, and performance is pretty impressive too. Just installed - will see how it h…

Interesting! Is that a new addition? I don’t know much about this stuff, but is that like a “standard” virtual machine on which Discourse can be installed as a supported install? A 4 cores 12 GB RAM for free seems… Weird?

[immagine] Canapin: A 4 cores 12 GB RAM for free seems… Weird? It’s because it’s ARM based instead of x86_64. And Discourse only recently gained support for ARM .

The free oracle tier allows up to 2 virtual machines. Does this one takes one space as well?
