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.…

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.

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

Yeah, but I’m with @Canapin . 4 cores and 12 GB RAM sounds like a lot for a free tier, regardless of the processor type.

Be aware that for this price (free tier) there is of course almost no support, and… well, I’ve been quite disappointed to see that my discourse sandbox had disappeared few weeks ago, without the possibility of creating a new one, the stock of Ampere instances being depleted… :sob: (but it worked qu…
