Debian is really easy to install now. It used to be much harder back in the day.

I’m not knowledgeable enough on the software to respond to these claims, but the great thing about open source software is that you can raise these as issue on Github and they can be fixed.

I’m gonna jack it up to the highest performance and see if it eats into my first month’s free credit.

I’ve just given the script a go and it seems to have failed

Altough the building timer is still running

Is there somewhere I can access logs to see what happened?

Edit: Managed to screenshot the error prior to it disappearing

I’ve just started a new instance on Oracle Cloud given how good the free tier is.

I’m maxed out on everything free: 4 CPU cores, 24 GB RAM, 200 GB storage.

Do you have any idea what the implications are of changing the block volume performance up from the default balanced to higher performance or UHP? All I can find on pricing is here: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/storage/pricing/

But it doesn’t mention anything about free tier eligibility.

I might try building from scratch again and running pict-rs in a docker container.

That does sound incredibly good for free.

Did you have any issues with pict-rs? Is it indeed included within the lemmy-server binary?

I thought of trying that, but the lemmy container doesn’t have ping/wget/curl, unless there is a way to test this without those tools.
