So I’m looking at some of Oracle’s Always Free options to self-host my own instance of SimpleLogin. I’ve never messed with VPSes before, so I was curious what kind of server I should be spinning up? I’m assuming I would want one of the compute instances available?
You must log in or register to comment.
They’ll have port 25 SMTP blocked, so depending on how SimpleLogin works it may not function if it needs to receive emails directly over SMTP.
You may be able to have them unblock it, but would probably require a paid account. At that point I would recommend going elsewhere as Oracle is a horrible company.
Meh, even with a paid account it was a shitshow. They aren’t worth free, let alone paid.
Fuck Oracle sideways.
Oh, that will definitely be a problem then since SimpleLogin needs 25 open. Thanks for the heads up. Might just figure something else out then.
I run Anonaddy on a oracle cloud server without issues. You’ll need some SMTP relay service like smtp2go or mailjet of course. But other than that it works fine.
Do keep in mind that they will turn off your instances with minimal warning if they need the compute resources for paying customers.
