Is it possible?

    Possible, yes. Oracle has a bad rep for deleting instances on their free tier though.

    Edit to clarify: VM instances, not Lemmy instances specifically.

        Doesn’t seem like too big of an issue. If you use object storage for images and take backups of the database you could redeploy rather easily if it gets euthanized by Oracle.

        A docker config or ansible setup should make this pretty easy.

    If it’s just for you, try it out, no harm no foul. If you are planning on hosting for other people then it’s way too volatile, people will depend on your service to get access to Lemmy
