[SOLVED] Temporarily hosting on Oracle Free tier. (lemmy.ml)

Solution : Don't be stupid. Open the proper ports.

Hey there!

So, I'm getting ready to move from places to places for the next six months and it's going to be a bit of a hassle. My servers will be offline until I find a permanent home, which is stressing me out because I rely on a bunch of services I host for my daily routine.

So I've set up an Oracle free tier account so I can still access my favorite services while I'm in limbo. I'm using docker and Portainer to manage everything, and so far Serge (for the lolz) and Vikunja are up and running with no issues using the IP Oracle provided.

But when I tried to set up Bookstack, Whoogle and Searxng, they installed fine but for some reason they won't open. I've checked the logs and there are no errors, I just keep getting a timeout message in my browser.

I haven't tested any other services yet, but I'm stumped as to why these two won't cooperate. I'm just a casual hobbyist and not an expert, so if anyone could lend a hand, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

First you have the open the ports in the security list assigned to your vm. Then you also have to open the ports with iptables on the vm itself. Took me a while to figure that out:)
