How to create Linux instance with 24 GB RAM 4 CPU using Oracle cloud server?

This tutorial will see how to create an oracle cloud Linux compute instance with 24 GB RAM and 4 CPUs.



We will not use Putty keys to create and connect the Linux instance in this method.


We will be using a public key /Private key generated by Oracle.


Step 1. 

Log in to your Oracle Cloud account and navigate to compute instance menu.




Step 2.

Click the Edit option in the Image and Shape section.




Step 3.

You can see 'AMD' shape is preselected.

Click on Change Shape.



Select 'AMPERE ARM-Based processor.'

Click on the Shape name and choose the required CPU and memory.

After finishing, click the 'select shape' button.


Step 4:

In the Add SSH keys part, select the 'Generate a key pair for me' option.




Save private and public keys.


Click the create button once keys are saved in the drive.


Wait for a few seconds until the instance status shows as RUNNING.


Verify the memory and CPU count in Shape configuration.



Step 5:


Download and install Mobaxterm SSH client from below url.

https://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/download.html


Step 6:

Open the Mobaxterm SSH client and click the Sessions menu in top left corner.



Step 7:

Input the IP address in the remote host text box.

Then click advanced SSH settings.

Click the 'Use private key' checkbox and browse the private key we saved while creating the Linux instance. Private Key name will be ending with .key extension.



Then click OK.

Step 8:

Enter the username as opc.



That's it. You can see Linux cloud instance is connected with the SSH client.



Now oracle Linux GUI is connected remotely.

Creating Free UBUNTU VPS server in oracle cloud If you don't have Ubuntu VPS running, follow the link below and create the server. Also, You can watch the youtube video tutorial at the end of this post. Create Free VPS in oracle cloud While creating the compute instance, we need to select Canonical Ubuntu in the Operating system image selection below. Follow the below steps once you have the server up and running. Update firewall port configurations for RDP We need to allow connections via port 3389 in oracle cloud subnet configurations for remote desktop connection.

Install and configure free secure SSL certificate in NGINX web server in Oracle Linux cloud

SSL certificates are used to secure our website and encrypt the details sent to the server. We will use a free self-signed SSL certificate and configure the SSL certificate using the NGINX web server. We need the oracle Linux cloud instance and NGINX server up and running. This step is prerequisite for this tutorial. Please refer to below link to install the oracle Linux and NGINX server. https://www.tech4learners.com/2022/01/how-to-create-linux-instance-with-24-gb.html https://www.tech4learners.net/2022/01/install-nginx-web-server-in-linux-cloud.html Once your compute instance and NGINX are up and running, proceed with the following steps. First step is to create PRIVATE / PUBLIC keys using the openssl command. We are using the RSA algorithm as an encryption method.  Replace the <IP_ADDRESS> with your Linux instance IP ADDRESS. sudo openssl req -new -x509 -days 30 -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout private.key \-out public.crt -subj '/C=US/ST=Ca/L=Sunnydale/CN=<IP_ADDRESS>

How to install NGINX web server in oracle Linux cloud instance?

  Step 1: Login to oracle Linux instance using SSH client. Step 2: Enter the NGINX installation command as follows. > sudo yum install nginx If you face 'No package nginx available' error, we need to install the 'EPEL' repository. To install the EPEL repo, use the below command. > sudo yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm We can install NGINX server once EPEL is installed . Enter the command  'sudo yum install nginx' again. Wait until the installation is complete. Step 3: We need to start the NGINX server once the installation is complete. Also, we need to make NGINX startup as a service.So that we don't need to start the NGINX server manually after reboot. Command to make the NGINX as a service is as follows. > sudo systemctl enable --now nginx.service Step 4: Verify the NGINX server status using the following command. > sudo systemctl status nginx Step 5: Add the HTTP firewall for port 80 using the
