I've watched multiple videos from your channel now, and I gotta say, you're seriously underrated.
Appreciate that very much
Finally someone did some nice step by step tutorial with the OCI. Thx
Amazing, got this done in less than an hour, now I can save $10 per month on hosting! THANK YOU DUDE!!
Thank You, I have been searching for weeks on how to properly setup the iptables. You saved my site! Thank You for the info!
You’re welcome Eric!
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
omg. couldn't do it for a few hours, none of the tutorials worked. Your tutorial worked fine, thank you very much
Tony you are a life saver, i have been struggling to set up this OCI and your tutorial came through
Fantastic!
Very informative and well put together tutorial. Thank you.
It's a GREAT time to be alive!!! Thank you!!!!
You bet!
Thanks Tony! Your video helped me a lot :)
thanks for your time ... good tutorial, excellent video tony!
Glad you enjoyed it
Just Loved the way you make things so clear .
Thank you so much 😊 Thanks for subscribing
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?
Helps with oracle tier setup more than anything else ) Thank you!
You're welcome
Perfect video Tony. Thank you so much
No problem
Worked like a charm for my php application once I stopped accidentally screwing up my file system. Great video.
Thanks!
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.
Hi Mohamed, what did you do different? how did you get it to work..
@Vedic Space the mistake i was making was i did not open the necessary ports for my vm on the oracle site
hey, did you incur any payments from your credit card?
@redtrib3 when you create your account they will take a few cents from your account to verify your bank card but they refund that and then when you in your cloud console, you shouldn't choose that option that says upgrade account. (When you login you should see that your account is not upgraded) and you shouldn't otherwise if you exceed the free resources limit then you will be charged so remember NOT to upgrade your account.
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.
Thanks Drew, I did just that and now I got https too ;-)
Let's Encrypt gives us all the ability to easily get HTTPS going. Nowadays it's pretty much required, a lot of security based browsers and add-ons won't even let you connect to HTTP sites unless it's a redirect to the same domain's HTTPS site.
@@spudhead169 There are ways around this issue. Not saying its a good idea but there are work arounds.
he already told .
Thank you so much I was able to create wordpress website for free using your tutorial. Thank you !!!
Fantastic!
Perfect! Thanks 🙏 Tony. Gonna try this out later today :)
How'd it go?
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.
Thanks for the tip Conrad
Very nice tutorial thanks Tony!
No problem 👍
Bro thank you!! Appreciate it !! Nor content like this... 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
My pleasure!!
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?
You're really awesome! Thanks so much for sharing to us..
You are so welcome!
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
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.
Excellent!
Do crontab -e and set * * * * * sudo iptables -F and * * * * * sudo iptables -X
@@WreeperXD actually you could just remove these two packages: iptables-persistent, netfilter-persistent
@@Rmly Oh okay!
So much cloud to learn... Thanks man
My pleasure!
Very Good Tutorial, Thanks A Lot.
You're welcome!
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.😊
Amazing video well organised
Great video Tony thanks 👍
No problem 👍
I was going crazy because I had not configured the networking and IP rules and therefore my Nginx installation would not work. Great content.
Thanks Mehrdad
Excellent quality, many thanks!!!! on sudo systemctl restart nginx there is an error on your website you write sudo systemc"lt" restart nginx
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.
Thank you for the info Vitor
@@TonyTeachesTech Glad to help.👍 Your videos are great and helps a lot!
Should I choose 4 for Always Free ? AaPanel can be installed on ARM ?
@@thakurlokesh yes, aapanel works

Thank you, Tony.
Great lesson!
Can you share info plese, how to run docker container on this server?
I'm not familiar with docker at this time
Thanks for this awesome tutorial. What's the easiest way to increase the volume size of the free Oracle VM?
I haven't tried that before
More simple than this, don´t have. Thanks.
Awesome and clear tutorial. i would like to see another tutorial about make VPN on oracle cloud.

Pls... Thanks very much for your video.. I love it.. God will increase your knowledge... Pls am window user how can I use all those command in windows... Thanks
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.
very helpful thanks
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.
Check out the second half of this video for pointing a domain name to Apache czcams.com/video/QcNBLSSn8Vg/video.html
@@TonyTeachesTech OK Thanks. I will look at all your videos to see if you already have something about mail, ssl and cloudflare.
I was having problems with domain attachment but I found it is because the SSL was already on cloudflare so it was having problems connecting to Oracle cloud. I don't know why but when I removed the ssl to none on cloudflare, it worked.
I mention cloudflare because I am using it as my dns server where I can make changes quickly and they get replicated immediately. My Registrar is hopeless in these things and sometimes they refuse to allow me to make changes often. With cloudflare I don't have to worry about frequent changes.
When you are learning changes will happen all the time but registrar's don't understand this.
Hi, Tony. Is this a better way to deploy a website than on github or netlify? Thanks.
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.
I am experiencing the same problems. Did you find a solution?
the wordpress upload limit is a hassle to overcome so i am just using a raspberry pi :D @@simonecirelli8572
hey tony thanks for your sharing the information ,,can you please do one about deploying django app in oci
This Django production tutorial might help you czcams.com/video/ZpR1W-NWnp4/video.html
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.
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.
Thank You!
Thank you.
How do you get this WordPress instance to update via FTPS (SSL) in this particular virtual machine on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?
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?
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
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.
Thanks so much for pointing that out! It's been fixed
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?
Thank you for this tutorial, please how can i add multiple sites in one free server
Excellent, thanks
You are welcome!
Great content!
Thanks!
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.
Great job!
Thanks Scott
⭐Thanks Tony
Excellent content!!! :-)
🙏
Hi, thanks for the tutorial 👍. Can you please guide how much bandwidth it can handle?
The bandwidth limits are published on the Oracle page, shown in the video (but may change, so go check this yourself). NOTE you CAN NOT be billed for any "overages"; the limits are "hard limits". So you are safe from any costly mistake.
Hi Tony, great video!
Just wanted to ask you if you know how do I get password of user because I can't access root folder
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?
I am experiencing the same problems... did you find a solution?
Thanks Tony! Perfect solution. BTW can we deploy a python+django web app using this? Or EC2 or GCP?
Yes you can!
@@TonyTeachesTech I hope you can Teach us how :D
its just a linux machine you can just do anything with it
nice wow, im using aws i hope it not so different
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?
Awesome vid? However, I cannot select the database in WordPress. Can you help me to resolve this
To summarize: impressive
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 ???
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?
Sorry, I'm not sure
what are the limitations for using wordpress on it i mean like inodes and bandwidth etc and hits as well
Hello Tony! :) Nice video about this topic. I try to recreate the same, but with a VM (Instance) that has Oracle Linux 8 Image (i use the same AMD Shape as you). When i want to install MySQL, PHP using YUM Package Manager, my Terminal Command on Linux gets killed after a while with no Error or result being shown. Also in the beginning after i connect with the SSH command, when i ‘sudo yum update’, the process is getting killed without any result happening. Do you think it might be because of lack of Disk Space Resources(the 46.6GB Boot Volume is not enough?!). Thanks for your help!
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?
Unfortunately they have gone for good
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 🙃🙃🙃
Hello Tony is it possible to install n8n and mautic at the OCI free tier? I have not seen any video tutorial.
Hi tony, would you know how many wp website can we install on 1 instance? I selected 4 cpu and 24 gb memory
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?
Hi, please how to save modifications and go back to command line when using sudo vim /etc/sites-available/.....??????
In VM( virtual machine)Any daily or monthly limit for upload or download ?
Hey bro Tony how you can zoom on screen recording which software you're using
I used QuickTime to record my screen and DaVinci Resolve to edit my videos
Can this be used for SmartDNS service?
How to create proxy in oracle cloud, can u make a video on this please sir
Tony Is a genius, wow. Is there any limits on this?
Thanks! Limits are discussed/shown here 4:42
Hi. Thank you for the great tutorial. I have run into a little bit of an issue. Wordpress stopped working for me (get a cloudflare page saying issue with host). Now I can't even access hestia or cyberpanel to recover or download my files. Not sure what happened. Is there any way of salvaging the countless hours I have spent developing my website?
I had seen a comment stating as a risk that Oracle Cloud doesn't recognize whether the instance is running or not if you are using OS'es other than Oracle Linux and probably deletes them
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!!
I am not receiving the confirmation or further details as specified after successful sign up. Do you maybe know why?
Edit: My email is correct because I received the email verification link. Just not receiving the further details promised at the end.
Thanks for the requested video 🥺💯🤜🤛
Of course :)
Hey! How is the performance difference as compared to VULTR HF ? ( IN PERCENTAGE)
I'm not sure about that
A doubt, for being a Free instance, does the oracle team have full access to the files that I will copy to this machine?
if you start with 1 cpu how do you add another CPU later? I'm having trouble finding that.
Thanks for the video Tony, any idea why the site doesn't load when I install an SSL certificate using certbot? I already changed the site URL to before installing the SSL certificate
Bro, You just need run the followings commands:
firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload
And remember add the roule to route the port 443 on your OCI firewall configuration.
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?
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.
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

@@TonyTeachesTech Thanks for this. Was very pleased to be able to set up a web site. I followed through to your SSL tutorial, but as soon as I set up my certificate nginx stopped serving the pages. Can you direct me to anything that shows how to remedy this please?
I'm having a problem with installation of plugins, the page says it requieres FTP credentials, where do I find them? they are no the same as the wordpress admin correct? also, the hostname required are the same address (ip or name of the website)?
@all How many domains can I host on the OCI Free tier?
