Re: free ARM VPS

There is a FreeBSD image in the “Marketplace”. There was a mixup last fall and 14 isn’t up yet, but some foundation folks are actively working on it. If you use the official one, it’s just a quick freebsd-update to get you there.

If you have trouble with the service, feel free to yell at me. Juggling support tickets and ops projects for Oracle Cloud Compute is my day job. I use FreeBSD daily outside work, I want it not to suck.
