Very good tutorial!

And simultaneously, curse you for how much free-time I'm going to spend playing with this. (lol)

Thank you for such a thorough and valuable tutorial. I am going to tell all my friends about this and share the video. This is exactly what I needed. I cannot tell you how many VPS I've tried to use and nothing (including the official websites) has given such precise information. You saved the day!

For some reasons the method for generating a SSH key you used refuse to work for me. I've never managed to reach an Oracle VM with PuTTY. Only with Termius for MAC because it natively support the openssh private key without any conversion.
thanks for the tutorial!! Just a important note: for developers or people who will want to use the instance to host a website / application its also necessary to add a Ingress rule for the ports 23-90 since the HTTP port is 80
@@azimshaikh9465 Sure: just repeat the same steps starting from: 5:48 - 6:10 but instead of typing "3389" you should type "23-90". After that you will be able to reach you virtual machine by typing the public Ip (the same one you used when connecting via remote desktop) in your browser. after that is just the standard L.A.M.P. configuration to deploy the website/ application
Great thank you for the reply✌, I again have a question, I guess it's a silly one but here goes, I wanted to know how secure is using L.A.M.P? I have an application which I want to deploy on my server for which I need php and mysql, but I also want to host a few php websites. So is using the LAMP a good idea?
The common stuff; nothing obscene, no hate, no lies, but you should check the TOS for your country as some countries have varied definitions for what would be considered.
That actually is free. Sorry but if you're looking for such a beefy trial, NO COMPANY, would ever give a free VPS for a longer period of time with no validation, at the very least they might even ask for document validations but yeah that stuff isn't easy at such scale, so credit card makes it easier. Because it'd just be used for spam purposes, a VM online 24/7 with fast network access can be used to do more harm than you think
Thanks for this video. amazing stuff. i created mine without facing any issues. but the machine is very slow, i don't know why the specs are fine and i was expecting some reasonable processing speed, i have to wait for a minute or more just to open a document. any fixes?

Careful with this. They require your credit card information for "verification" even if you only use the free offer. Then you must accept a checkbox "start my free trial". I couldn't find wether this trial would just end or turn into a paid account after the trial expires. Since they already have your credit card details at this time, you might not even notice. In the end I had to also click on a button "Start my free trial" and it got stuck there. So I'm guessing if an offer sounds too good to be true, it usually is. I'll be carefully checking my credit card statements of the next few months.
I was trying to think of where I would use this power besides block-chain applications and that would be video editing while on the road, then uploading the finished video to my favorite channel.

K7 Antivirus emerged as the winner in the test with an impact score of just 1.6, establishing that K7’s antivirus has the least impact on device performance.
Thanks for great walkthrough. The RDP happens to be extremely slow that its impossible to use. Any ideas on that? I had the same problem connecting to Ubuntu on AWS, yet have no idea whats going on
before you connect with the RDP software on windows just put the resulution on de RDP client lower. I use 1920 x 1080 and it runs propper also you can select the netwerk type you want to use instead of let the system auto choose it. Just check the settings for best preformens.
Hm, I did it according to the video and the RDP speed is really good. I can connect with MS RemoteDesktopClient as well as with guacamole and I can even watch videos on youtube. It might be depended on where your instance is hosted. Honestly as you are experiencing the same issue with AWS I guess the issue is on your side, either your router or network settings or it is just your ISP limiting traffic. Maybe QoS in place?
Please post an update to confirm if this free offer is still valid. My 3 credit cards were declined so I can't register at all. Oracle must have decided to call the whole thing off because millions of users are paying absolutely nothing. Why don't they just offer something like this for £5.00 per month to deter free loaders from registering. I am prepared to pay but I can't even get an account because my Credit cards are declined by US processors.

It seems that they require "payment verification", i.e., credit card. It says that I will not be charged, but is a credit card required and you did not mention it, or did I do something wrong and there is a way to create a free tier account without a credit card?
I was searching for a good free computing serve VM capability in the cloud somewhere and wanted to stay away from Microsoft Azure and AWS and Google, just because I am for free market support and agaist fewnopolies. This tends to be the best solution out there. First of all those bigger players to do offer free forever option but only limited time! Plus, Oracle is not really one of them, thus bingo!
Very nice. I may try it. I do have one question though. How quick is the graphic display in the remote window? I don't much care about playing games, but is it quick enough to watch videos and such?

Tried to sign up but after it took money from my bank it failed the sign up and whenever i try again it errors out. Couple other people have had this issue.
Thanks for your tutorial, but my VM is very slow. I can't even watch UA-cam videos. Your machine seems to be much faster. I set the setup to 4 cpu and 24 gb of ram. Any tips?
can I set up google cloud with a server like Ubuntu to run a low cost 24/7 streaming of my old videos to my UA-cam channel. This is the next big thing for UA-cam...it will be gold.
all worked perfectly for a 2-3 month now, but for now i cant connect. Via RDP i get an blackscreen insight remotedesktop window. and when i try to connect via putty it says my public key is incorrect? what can i do now?
thankx it worked to install the mechine i did for the first time and it was up and running and even connected to the putty which i had iissues while connecting putty.. But i went throw your tutorial the Remote access in GUI is not possible i think for me it dose not even load the screen i tried many time but that did not work but i have no idea why if someone have the same issue then share details...
Hi! Thank you very much, some settings have been moved in the walkthrough, especially the AUTH section of Putty. But worked fine. 2 things just to ask if anyone has the time or inclination to answer: 1. I take it even though we have disabled the lock screen as it can be problematic, this is also an issue with updates that require restart? 2. Oracle says this is £51 / month, even though I followed the instructions to the letter (canonical-Ubuntu 22.04, 4 ampere cores, 24GB RAM, 200GB HDD. Is this what others saw? I have free credit for the month so will see if it goes down so I'm not too worried ATM. Edit: The documentation on the site said the above specifications are part of the always free service, but still estimated the £51 / month charge. Great video - thanks!
@@Mozh644 I have actually stopped using this as the system was unusably slow. I now just pay for Google Cloud Compute - a decent enough system is only 30p / hr and I don't use it that often - maybe 10 hrs a month so it's no issue for me as I like to just mess around. I have read that lowering the colour depth to 16bit helps and set RDP to run at like 80% scale helps - but this system was just far too slow and more of a frustration to use. Clicking 'activities' and the menu loading was a joke to be honest anything else you'll spend most of your time waiting for things to load.
First, thanks a lot for the information. I selected the Montreal region and it doesn't look like I have options to select another datacenter / zone for that region. I guess I need to keep trying until they free more resources? For now I will play with the micro vm which I was able to create (1 GB, 1 CPU).
hey there, Ubuntu VPS is working, but it does not allow me to run a node after installing, it says authentication requires to start *****-fullnode service, and after entering ubuntu password nothing happens
Great Video!!! RDP works very slow though - or at least it seems like RDP problem - there is a very notable lag.... probably you could recommend some work around?
Thank you for this wonderful video. Just want to ask whether all the resources required for running this Linux Cloud desktop is free in the Oracle Free tier. Secondly, If I install OBS Studio, can i live stream videos on UA-cam under the Oracle free tier account, or is there any hidden cost.
yes, all the resouces reqired to run this VPS Oracle mark as ALWAYS FEE, and are not part of their 30 day trial..As for OBS i have never installed it, so i can only suggest u try it, and put a comment letting us know how yo get on..
Its not about the number of instances, its about the CPUs. So you can have 4 VMs of the arm CPUs, or any combo that equals 4 arm cpus. I will have to look if you get both the arm and the x64 at the same time, but if you do, you could have 6 total, I think? Check to make sure on the site itself.
Thanks for the great article, everything worked perfectly as explained. However, I'm facing slowness on the instance via RDP. Is there anything I am missing? in between, I created instance in US West (Phenix) region.
Not sure why YOUR xRDP is slow as mine wasn't, try installing the ***ARM version*** of NoMachine from : downloads.nomachine.com/ and see if using that is better. I am planning to do a video where i use that in ubuntu, but it's probably a couple of months off yet (i need to test it first)
It is sad now that Oracle does not allow you to create this machine with 4 OCPU and 24 GB RAM. I have tried 55 times over the course of 5 days and it keeps saying that the resource center is out of capacity for it....
It's important to note the firewall rule he created allows RDP from everywhere. Please practice good security and limit access for real world configs.
how can we solve this for more security?

@@yashank_singh ooh yes, it's still online
Do you need visa or something card to register and get the free thingy?
Another question, i can run this 24/7 without paying for anything?
It seems that they require "payment verification", i.e., credit card. It says that I will not be charged, but is a credit card required and you did not mention it, or did I do something wrong and there is a way to create a free tier account without a credit card?
No. You must provide credit card verification to enrol Oracle VPS free trial.
I was searching for a good free computing serve VM capability in the cloud somewhere and wanted to stay away from Microsoft Azure and AWS and Google, just because I am for free market support and agaist fewnopolies. This tends to be the best solution out there. First of all those bigger players to do offer free forever option but only limited time! Plus, Oracle is not really one of them, thus bingo!
Very nice. I may try it. I do have one question though. How quick is the graphic display in the remote window? I don't much care about playing games, but is it quick enough to watch videos and such?
It's excruciatingly slow-just got everything up and running. Good tutorial, though
@@aagm. same for me did u find any solutions ?
@@3IMAD69 I've just presumed it's not meant to be run as a desktop environment and primarily to be accessed via SSH
Nahh i can't do anything. i installed Ubuntu 22.04 and i can't find ubuntu software center or any browser i tried installing maybe 4 browser using terminal but i always run into problems. The last one was with Microsoft edge browser, the last line an error appeared like can't locate file... I tried re installing ubuntu software center it says installed successful but i can't find it please help
Tried to sign up but after it took money from my bank it failed the sign up and whenever i try again it errors out. Couple other people have had this issue.
this video is very very very helpfull. thank you so much ❤❤
Thanks for your tutorial, but my VM is very slow. I can't even watch UA-cam videos. Your machine seems to be much faster. I set the setup to 4 cpu and 24 gb of ram. Any tips?
can I set up google cloud with a server like Ubuntu to run a low cost 24/7 streaming of my old videos to my UA-cam channel. This is the next big thing for UA-cam...it will be gold.
thanks for the demo and info, have a great day
your welcome
Hello, I loved your video!
Thanks for sharing!
Can you tell me if it is possible to install blender and use it to render study projects?
Nice clip, but why do you have the Thunderbird on the Ubuntu VM?? I thought server suppose not to have it. You would never use this on server
Please can u do a video on how to install mt4 on it?
Is there anyway to use this remote desktop on Android TV?
all worked perfectly for a 2-3 month now, but for now i cant connect. Via RDP i get an blackscreen insight remotedesktop window. and when i try to connect via putty it says my public key is incorrect? what can i do now?
Try to connect with VNC. You need to create a console connection. If you're using windows, use TightVNC or VNCViewer.
thankx it worked to install the mechine i did for the first time and it was up and running and even connected to the putty which i had iissues while connecting putty.. But i went throw your tutorial the Remote access in GUI is not possible i think for me it dose not even load the screen i tried many time but that did not work but i have no idea why if someone have the same issue then share details...
Excellent quality and great 's authentic and genuine! I love this 100% effective method for this game so unique and for sharing.
Much appreciated!
What is the max data transfer in/out per month ??
I followed the step showing in the video now at the end of making oracle cloud tier ID it is asking me for paymend method verification :/
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
Hi! Thank you very much, some settings have been moved in the walkthrough, especially the AUTH section of Putty. But worked fine. 2 things just to ask if anyone has the time or inclination to answer:
1. I take it even though we have disabled the lock screen as it can be problematic, this is also an issue with updates that require restart?
2. Oracle says this is £51 / month, even though I followed the instructions to the letter (canonical-Ubuntu 22.04, 4 ampere cores, 24GB RAM, 200GB HDD. Is this what others saw? I have free credit for the month so will see if it goes down so I'm not too worried ATM.
Edit: The documentation on the site said the above specifications are part of the always free service, but still estimated the £51 / month charge.
Great video - thanks!
Hey do you know how to fix the lag? I can't even open browser on the instance.
@@Mozh644 I have actually stopped using this as the system was unusably slow. I now just pay for Google Cloud Compute - a decent enough system is only 30p / hr and I don't use it that often - maybe 10 hrs a month so it's no issue for me as I like to just mess around. I have read that lowering the colour depth to 16bit helps and set RDP to run at like 80% scale helps - but this system was just far too slow and more of a frustration to use. Clicking 'activities' and the menu loading was a joke to be honest anything else you'll spend most of your time waiting for things to load.
First, thanks a lot for the information. I selected the Montreal region and it doesn't look like I have options to select another datacenter / zone for that region. I guess I need to keep trying until they free more resources? For now I will play with the micro vm which I was able to create (1 GB, 1 CPU).
If you don't pay for the product. You are the product
hey there, Ubuntu VPS is working, but it does not allow me to run a node after installing, it says authentication requires to start *****-fullnode service, and after entering ubuntu password nothing happens
have you found a solution !
is it compulsory to add payment method during the registration even though it's free???
did u get any answer for this ?
Thank you very much for your key......1000% work :)
good this tutorial /video helped a lot. All working fine. But How shall i get a audio sound when i play audio in cloud pc via remote.?
Is there a step-by-step tutorial on how to backup and restore whole image?
Great Video!!! RDP works very slow though - or at least it seems like RDP problem - there is a very notable lag.... probably you could recommend some work around?
same for me
same for me
Well what's your internet speed?

Where can I get that remote desktop connection application that you use? weird thing is, my laptop has it, but my desktop doesn't
Not interested in the RDP element, but can this be left running permanently, all month every month, or will that accrue charges?
THx for the info but how to get a workaround the card payment.
Awesome, thanks for sharing!
Everything works fine, but there is too much delay with the image when I use the VM, do you know something about it?
It requires a payment method,but I dont have any card. What to do now?
Thank you for this wonderful video. Just want to ask whether all the resources required for running this Linux Cloud desktop is free in the Oracle Free tier. Secondly, If I install OBS Studio, can i live stream videos on UA-cam under the Oracle free tier account, or is there any hidden cost.
yes, all the resouces reqired to run this VPS Oracle mark as ALWAYS FEE, and are not part of their 30 day trial..As for OBS i have never installed it, so i can only suggest u try it, and put a comment letting us know how yo get on..
After everything I've done, I cant log in, it says authentication failed try again. Someone else experiencing thsi problem?
Excellent Video. Everything worked as described. How many VM instances are available in the Free tier?
Its not about the number of instances, its about the CPUs. So you can have 4 VMs of the arm CPUs, or any combo that equals 4 arm cpus. I will have to look if you get both the arm and the x64 at the same time, but if you do, you could have 6 total, I think? Check to make sure on the site itself.
When I try to create the instance I get an error that Vcn and Subnet are missing. is it covered here?
I am also getting the same error, Please help with a solution...
Thanks for the great article, everything worked perfectly as explained. However, I'm facing slowness on the instance via RDP. Is there anything I am missing? in between, I created instance in US West (Phenix) region.
Not sure why YOUR xRDP is slow as mine wasn't, try installing the ***ARM version*** of NoMachine from : downloads.nomachine.com/ and see if using that is better. I am planning to do a video where i use that in ubuntu, but it's probably a couple of months off yet (i need to test it first)
It is sad now that Oracle does not allow you to create this machine with 4 OCPU and 24 GB RAM. I have tried 55 times over the course of 5 days and it keeps saying that the resource center is out of capacity for it....
yes i have this problem too , do you know how to fix it or what need to do?
Just managed to sign up after trying every few days for 2 weeks!
