Wow, this is the BEST free setup we've found for Oracle Cloud free tier for running a webserver plus mailbox. Super easy to use, fast, unlimited and everything is done through the web panel.

The advantages that make this my recommended Oracle cloud free tier setup are:
-Runs perfectly on ARM, allowing us to access up to 4 CPU and 24GB ram FREE
-Simple and friendly interface
-Easy app install, 1-click WordPress
-NGINX Caching for fast webserver performance
-No limits on number of domains, websites or mailboxes
-Easy mailbox setup, easy to add SMTP relay to provide improved deliverability
-Default security setup is very solid
-Auto updates by default

This all takes only 3 commands to setup!
