I have an Oracle Always Free VPS. 4 ARM Ampere A1 vCPUs, 24GB RAM, 200GB storage. Will this be a good fit as a server for a Lemmy instance? Are there any issues with hosting Lemmy on aarch64?

Oracle has a tendency to pull the rug and take your VPS away. You can read about it on the forums or on r/oraclecloud. I still have mine but I’ve heard of so many stories about how Oracle will flat out just terminate your instance without warning.
If you want to push through with it, make sure to do regular backups (as everyone should do).
They deleted mine after 4 days.
Never again.
Huh, really?? I must be lucky then, because I just checked, and my server has been running since Mar 11, 2022!!
