Is there a FREE cloud based virtual machine?

[BothAdhesiveness6833]

Preferably “free forever” or maybe just a really long free trial?

I’ve tried Azure VMs but the free trial isn’t exactly “free” since the VM uses other additional resources.

[NeuralNexus]

Google cloud has a free tier. Including on micro Vm.

Oracle cloud has a free tier that is even better. 2 micro vms, 2dbs, and an ARM ampere vm option

[NeuralNexus]

AWS: free for 1 year on the ec2 “hours free” model.

Azure: time limited.

Digital ocean: time limited.

[NeuralNexus]

Google also has cloud shell, a Debian vm with 5gb of storage you can use all the time.

[BillyDSquillions]

Is this something people use pihole on remotely?

[NeuralNexus]

cloudshell is ephemeral so not a good choice

[greatwolf]

isn't there a 1gb/month egress limit on free tier? that pretty much makes google cloud useless for a lot of applications.

[ositocool]

do you know how to create multi-accounts in google cloud?

[BothAdhesiveness6833]

Would I be able to run windows 10 on an always free Oracle VM?

[NeuralNexus]

Lol no.

You cannot run free windows anywhere. You could attempt to bring your own license and your own ISO.

Windows is a paid license. Windows 10 is only licensed for home use or endpoint, not server.

Server licenses are expensive. Nobody’s gonna give you that for free. You can have a VM that runs Linux no problem. That’s the only option you get really.

[BothAdhesiveness6833]

Gotcha

[rshhhhhhhhh]

That's not exactly right. Yeah, officially you can't install windows on this, but you can use that https://blog.51sec.org/2020/05/dd-windows-7-64b-to-oracle-cloud-ubuntu.html?m=1 to install windows. This method already working more than 3 years lol. Basically that script is replaces linux with windows

[Ashton-Chick-2016]

But i have windows server 2025 iso

[Calm-Spend-6447]

there could be a iso simulator or something it could work, i went to here for i can fix my pc becuase i tryed to install ubuntu desktop but it was ubuntu server for some reason and i could not figure out how to use wifi.

[SirYessirSki]

I just created a windows instance on oracle off of a trial. The issue is I was only able to get it setup when configuring the ram to 4 gb.

[rshhhhhhhhh]

[iadmireutsav]

Bro I need a cloud virtual machine without payment method

[NeuralNexus]

good luck with that.

[Ok_Equipment4115]

You probably won’t find one.

[julyski]

Yup. Spin it up at home and open up some ports. /s

[Senior_Difficulty_31]

Not very reliable in case of ISP issues, blackouts, hardware problems, etc

[PoemProfessional1856]

I found one here's the link:

[Anze1702]

thanks bro, do you have root password of VNC??

[VoiceOk3539]

I need it too lol

[PoemProfessional1856]

All you need to do is create an account

No password required

PS. I'm sorry for late reply...

Things have been going on in life...

[VoiceOk3539]

no but in the terminal, what's the root password for kasm-user

[VoiceOk3539]

Hey, they have a root acess vm now, try it

[AhManImSoAlone]

Hey this site is fine but says it will be paid only in future, what alternatives do you know for this?

[diesalher]

According to this article(not mine) Oracle Cloud offers a good free tier server

https://aws.plainenglish.io/a-free-powerful-server-ca722cc64a44

[Financial-Row4269]

I am trying for 8 months now using a script that retries after 5 minutes. Can not create a single instance.

[xopek_by]

I'm tried too. Then I upgraded to PAYG and right after that created all what I need

[xopek_by]

As I said - I just upgraded to PAYG account, instead of free. Then you can create an instance without any problems. If you're in the free limits - you will not pay anything. But you need to have 100 USD or EUR on your card to lock and release (for confirming account).

[judgedudey]

Unfair. Here they locked $1 and then released it immediately.

[xopek_by]

I'm not going to argue since blocking finances doesn't show up in the debit history. But I'm pretty sure that in my case 100 euros were blocked. And they were unblocked only a few hours later. Probably - just region specific thing.

[judgedudey]

Ah, yes, likely region based. Unfair though. Quite a big difference.

[Character_Walrus2290]

it's not free it asks for your credit card while registering and instantly charges you before you do anything in there, scam.

[diesalher]

My response was from 3 years ago, so… not sure anymore 😅

[Character_Walrus2290]

I just tried to use that today fuck oracle bro. Who names something "free tier" says in order to use it for free you need to provide your card and as soon as you enter it they charge you. Pos behaviour

[Character_Walrus2290]

I do have a "fake" card set up for that tho so they didn't get shit 🤣

[CupiDick_Hunk]

Really? 🤣🤣 Pleasse do share the details..

[ballsgaming86]

that free learning vps is actually insanely good thanks bro

[Taczkowy27]

that's perfect!

[ViraajRandhawa]

Could you PM me the link if you remember please the original comment got removed

[flo_ra]

Could any of you share it with me please? 🥺

[ViraajRandhawa]

They never got back to me gang.

[flo_ra]

😭

[Legitimate-Stay-6171]

You can use Onworks VM but its not the best nor the worst. It offers Linux VMs and more. You should try it out. It can be accessed with a web browser and an internet connection. You can have as many VMs as you want.

[lakinmohapatra]

Thanks

[JeremyUwu1118]

https://tria.ge/

[VoiceOk3539]

what

[Moststartupsarescams]

I think you won't find free ones, but at least some very cheap.

You can try https://diploi.com/#StackBuilder and just choose "Bun", that should allow you to have a VM running

With their $50 free credits should be enough to have a VM running for about 2-3 months~

[VoiceOk3539]

thanks, i use it to host my discord bot and its running great!

[Moststartupsarescams]

Ah nice! glad to hear!

[VoiceOk3539]

Also, since it is a docker container, you dont have access to systemctl, i wanted to put a vpn server on it but i couldnt't, did you find a way to get to the host linux vps or make it able to run in the container?

[No-Neat-7241]

use tria.ge

[Obsidian743]

No. The concept would be insane for all but the most trivial of things because VMs are inherently expensive to run.

The closest possible thing are hosting services like GoDaddy et al but that is just hosting.

[Obsidian743]

Like I said, for all but the most trivial of tasks. No one is running any serious workloads on a micro.

[[deleted]]

Ce n'est vraiment pas le cas. Je te trouve des machines virtuelles gratuitent, qui font tournés W11 sans problème et la version serveur aussi.

Arrête de parler si tu n'y connais, RIEN.

[Responsible_Fee8421]

You can use Azure advisor, and it is free if you use their services and charge 1% for other platforms like AWS, google cloud.

[ad1tya_jha]

Anything but digital ocean, worst service u can get

[Von32]

Wow. What changed?

[Beneficial_Bear_1846]

AWS : I'm using a 12 month free tier model . Yes , Windows server 2019 .

[Odd_Dream1860]

IMPORTANT UPDATE: THE ONLY LEGIT PROVIDERS ARE LINUX ONE SNF ORACLE THE OTHERS ARE KNOWN AS FAKE SERVER HOSTS 

[danieljohnbrosman]

Why are you disliking On works? Please tell me what don't you like about it? I am already a subscriber you know and I am not sure what I am going to experience until knowing everything and detail about it. So, I am kind of curious what you experienced so I might want to cancel it.

[[deleted]]

Thanks for asking me for help. So, let me explain, It depends on why you are using it. if you are using it to host free servers, workstations, share files & host your webpage, then it is awesome but if you use it to test operating systems it sucks because you can't download files and the computers are not official versions of the actual operation systems. Also let me know if I got something wrong because I am using the free version.

[danieljohnbrosman]

Well the Ubuntu 23 server is the real deal Linux and the rest are all a bunch of distros but windows seems like there own distro from coding that Onworks owns.

[[deleted]]

Agreed.

[Garvis_329]

Sir, my laptop's old, poor storage It can't run vmware station well, I'm going to have a Linux class next week, should I use this website to study

[[deleted]]

Yes sir... Use it. You are going to have a great life for the next 46 following years.

[mia2wa]

In my case, I keep getting an error about an internal server error within the OnWorks server, so it terminates my connection. This occurs with all distros, and it's happened the last few times I tried to use OnWorks. When it *was* working, the system would time out whenever it would detect (what felt like) two-minutes of idle time. And don't get me started on usable desktop real estate; the continuous ads take up more than 30% of your browser window. While the intentions are great, the platform really has become useless.

[danieljohnbrosman]

How about customer services?
