I've watched multiple videos from your channel now, and I gotta say, you're seriously underrated.

I have been trying for 5 days to this and I finally managed to get it done today. Which shows me that I should never ever give up and so shouldn't you.

I recommend everyone to try this. I followed the documentation to the tee, the only issues I had were with my DNS not working well with www and non www, I used A records for both. I ended up switching to CNAME and also moved to cloudflare for added security. It masks your site's IP address as well. I used certbot for a free SSL certificate, it will auto renew for you so you don't need to worry about that. I can almost feel confident that I have something to say during an interview

Awesome video! One piece of advice I would add for beginners is that when you open port 80, consider also opening port 443 if you plan on utilizing a ssl certificate.

Amazing, got this done in less than an hour, now I can save $10 per month on hosting! THANK YOU DUDE!!

Finally someone did some nice step by step tutorial with the OCI. Thx

omg. couldn't do it for a few hours, none of the tutorials worked. Your tutorial worked fine, thank you very much

Hi, Tony! Regarding "All tenancies get the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free for VM instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape, which has an Arm processor. For Always Free tenancies, this is equivalent to 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory." This is how it works: Hours/resource = Hours in a month of a single resource. 3000 OPCU Hours / 04 OCPU = 750 hours of 01 OCPU per month 18000 GB Hours / 24 GB Ram = 750 hours of 01 GB ram per month 750 Hours / 24 Hours = 31 days and a quarter. Therefore, within the limits of 04 OCPU / 24 GB Ram / 200 GB Storage configuration , you won't be charged. I've been using it for months. With Ampere you can have up to 04 (not just two, like AMD) different servers with 1 OCPU / 6 Gb Ram / 50 Gb Storage. The only problem is that with ARM there might be some packages missing. It would be great to have a tutorial with a functional and not shaddy Control Panel that works with ARM besides aaPanel.

Tony you are a life saver, i have been struggling to set up this OCI and your tutorial came through

It's a GREAT time to be alive!!! Thank you!!!!

Thank You, I have been searching for weeks on how to properly setup the iptables. You saved my site! Thank You for the info!

Perfect video Tony. Thank you so much

Worked like a charm for my php application once I stopped accidentally screwing up my file system. Great video.

Helps with oracle tier setup more than anything else ) Thank you!

Dude you mentioned to go from http to https but it has created a lot lot of problems for me. A detailed video following this setup will be much helpful

More simple than this, don´t have. Thanks.

Just Loved the way you make things so clear .

thanks for your time ... good tutorial, excellent video tony!

Thanks Tony! Your video helped me a lot :)

It is nice tutorial, TQ Tony

Very informative and well put together tutorial. Thank you.

Thank you so much I was able to create wordpress website for free using your tutorial. Thank you !!!

I was going crazy because I had not configured the networking and IP rules and therefore my Nginx installation would not work. Great content.

Very nice tutorial thanks Tony!

Please consider doing more videos on OCI Free Tier. ((The official Oracle documentation is so bland and unimaginative, few tutorials useful with always-free eligible). So NOW that you have this VM running nginx, what always-free Eligible services would you connect to the nginx instance?

Perfect video Tony... always provide me the solution. I'm using Oracle for a while and security list was easy to done, but by default the iptables lock's the ports; Thanks for all.

To summarize: impressive

very detailed and useful video, thanks a lot. IF you could make more video like on what can be done within the always-free resources?

Perfect! Thanks 🙏 Tony. Gonna try this out later today :)

Very nice... thanks Tony great videos in your channel. Here is something I do. When I open a new shell, I run 'sudo -i' and after that I do not need to prefix all commands with sudo. Not sure if it is specific to the shell I use but try it and see if it works for you.

sudo iptables -I INPUT 6 -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT sudo netfilter-persistent save

You're really awesome! Thanks so much for sharing to us..

Thank you for making this. I think it may need some redo however since it seem to be missing some vital nginx or db configuration to able to build the wordpress part. I experience many issues to image upload, making new page, saving and publishing an article. I have spent more time troubleshooting wordpress issues than setting up the instance with nginx.

Amazing video well organised

Very Good Tutorial, Thanks A Lot.

So much cloud to learn... Thanks man

Bro thank you!! Appreciate it !! Nor content like this... 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Oracle Charged me 1$ buts its worth it.

The payment verification step doesn't work at all for me. I have used the exact same details I use for AWS and it worked fine on there. Googling this told me this has been a problem for almost a year and, as far as I can tell, Oracle have not done anything about this. Their support for free tier is terrible and I can't find any fixes for this problem. I assume you wouldn't know of any way to fix this but if you or anyone else here knows a way or has an info on this, I would appreciate it.

Great video Tony thanks 👍

I understand the free 200GB, but are there any max connection or traffic volume limits Oracle might enforce, once such a free web site might have to serve a lot of requests or data?

Thanks for this awesome tutorial. What's the easiest way to increase the volume size of the free Oracle VM?

I hope you will see this, but I am having a problem at 22:28, I do every step you show, however, the file /var/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock isn't in my instance. In fact, when I edit the server name on VIM, my file is simply called /run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock (missing var). After this, I continue with every step, however, trying to access my instance using my domain name does not work. Please help

SSH private key files generated by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure are not compatible with PuTTY. If you are using a private key file generated during the instance creation process you need to convert the file to a .ppk file before you can use it with PuTTY to connect to the instance.

Thank You!

Hi, Tony. Is this a better way to deploy a website than on github or netlify? Thanks.

very helpful thanks

⭐Thanks Tony

Tony you sound just like Richard hendricks from Silicon Valley

There is a typo in your command code in Step 9 in your linked code snippets (For some reason I don't see the captcha box i supposed to click to post a comment on the link). You have """sudo systemclt restart nginx""", this should be """sudo systemctl restart nginx""". Just figured you would want to know. Great tutorial by the way very helpful for setting up a personal website/page.

Excellent, thanks

Great job!

Good day i have been watching the video and doing it when it gets to the pointing i point but when i try and load the page l get 502 error

Excellent quality, many thanks!!!! on sudo systemctl restart nginx there is an error on your website you write sudo systemc"lt" restart nginx

great video , but your comments don't line up with the video. I also get a white screen after install. I have likely messed something up. Any ideas?

Thank you for your video, it's really useful! I followed it step by step, but I still have a problem: I cannot create new pages with Wordpress and I can't even upload files using tools like FileZilla. I suspect it is a problem concerning permission, but I am not sure (I am quite a beginner). However, the permission for the html folder is "drwxr-xr-x" and the owner is www-data, shouldn't this be enough for having the necessary permissions?

Great content!

Presumably the public IP is shared by many VMs from different user accounts, how does the Internet know what unique VM in the pool to reach for a particular website or service? Does the gateway parse the URL to distinguish one VM for another? That is the only way I can think of that allows differentiation between the various VMs sharing a public IP.

Hi thank you for the video. It is Really great. I cannot find where I had saved the files on 6:17 (public and private keys). Can I find and download them again?

hi Tony, Thanks for your teaching! One thing, with your configuration, I can't Change Permalink Setting to 'Post name', or the nginx would not find the page.

Awesome and clear tutorial. i would like to see another tutorial about make VPN on oracle cloud.

can I set up google cloud or oracle cloud free trial with a an Ubuntu VM to run a low cost 24/7 streaming of my old videos to my KZfaq channel. This is the next big thing for KZfaq... do this and include additional good price for webhosting my website with the free trial offer and it will be gold.

I don't know if this is just a problem with the current latest WordPress... I did everything in this tutorial religiously and came across 2 problems. The first I cured, the second has me stumped... The first was that I could not upload Elementor because I kept getting errors that the file exceeded limits. This came on an nginx 403 page. I was able to eliminate this problem by editing both nginx and php configuration files and upping the limits I found within those. Relatively easy, but needed a web search to discover the files that needed editing. Having done that, I went to change the way permalinks are shown using the custom category/postname that I have used on other site. Having done that, I went back to check site health and I was getting a REST API error. Not only that, but neither the block editor built in to Wordpres nor Elementor would work. Ouch! However, returning permalinks to the default removed the error after which both the block editor and Elementor worked fine. Weird. So... with this install do I have to be stuck with ugly permalinks? PLEASE tell me there is a solution to this!!

Simply Perfect! how to create a policies limit on OCI?

Thanks for the tutorial, Tony! How to wipe the Ubuntu instance without having to delete it completely? I want to retain the same IP address but start afresh.

Excellent content!!! :-)

Only credit card accepted? What if a debit card?

can you deploy a docker image in this server?

Dear Tony first of all thank you for detailed quide. I want to clarify one more thing, is there any availability to upload windows server or just some windows iso to oracle cloud? And after do all of this from windows, I mean raise the web server. Because all of that terminal manipulations can be easily done after few clicks in windows from graphical interface. Thank you, and everyone who will answer in advance.😊

Can you please create a short video about attaching a domain name on Apache2. The files in ngix and Apache are slightly different and Apache uses different things and different names such as Sites Available, etc etc Thank you and your videos are quite informative. Best regards and hope you'll create more videos like this regularly.

Can you please teach us how we can run 2 or more websites in the same instance using port socket with ngix, like the shared hosting, where hosting provider use one IP address with a lot of websites with domaine name pointing to one IP address Thank you

what are the limitations for using wordpress on it i mean like inodes and bandwidth etc and hits as well

Thank you. How do you get this WordPress instance to update via FTPS (SSL) in this particular virtual machine on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?

this is a great vid and all worked well apart from the sample apache page the images there dont show and the the final wordpress site none of the images work. I have opened ports 80 + 443. any thoughts on this, have you also seen this?

Could you explain the complexity of using ampere A1 compute instance 4ocpus with 25GB memory for always free opportunity. I mean when will we get the trigger (use case scenario) for extra payment?

Awesome vid? However, I cannot select the database in WordPress. Can you help me to resolve this

Hi, please how to save modifications and go back to command line when using sudo vim /etc/sites-available/.....??????

Thanks for this upload. I want to know, what are the changes I need to do to deploy my web app, which has python, flask and mysql for database.

I used to install Ubuntu without problems, but now I can't ssh, it returns port "ssh: connect to host x.x.x.x port 22: Connection timed out", the oracle custom Linux works but I prefer Ubuntu. also, I wonder if I can reinstall the distro without terminating the instance. Thank you

Hi, I was following your tutorial however, when creating a compute instance I find that Oracle has added a monthly cost for boot volume as a standard. Is there anything I can change to avoid those charges?

Thank you, Tony. Great lesson! Can you share info plese, how to run docker container on this server?

"amor é só de mãe, eu aprendi com o tempo"

Hi, thanks for the tutorial 👍. Can you please guide how much bandwidth it can handle?

awesome tutorial and above that OCI giving away 4core 24gb ram 200gb storage for "always"(lets see to that) free is like flabbergasting although if there's no activity they will reclaim all that 🙃🙃🙃

Is it possible to host an php application instead of a website for my clients ? Although there would also be a web part for the front end

Thanks Tony! Please I need some assistance. I can't reach my aapanel at all. is there a way to turn things to default settings please ???

Hi, many thanks for sharing, I'm having troubles to add my credit card. The Oracle System is simply declining. I could try it many times using 3 different cards. When I emailed to the Oracle Support they said that the problem is with bank card issuer. But this is not true, cause I've tried 3 diferent credit cards and different emails. Could someone here help me, plesase?

if you start with 1 cpu how do you add another CPU later? I'm having trouble finding that.

How can i attach block volume?

I am not able to connect to my instance from outside the CLI. It says permission denied (public key). What may be the issue?
