[Wiki edit] Oracle Cloud hosting #754

Closed emhl closed 3 years ago

emhl commented 3 years ago

There are many great tips on where to host your own (not just music-) bot on your wiki. Oracles cloud hosting service with their Always free Program could be a great addition to the hosting wiki page

with this you get:

that can be split up however you want. additionally you get 2 AMD based Compute VMs with 1/8 OCPU and 1 GB memory each.

everything completely free. the VM'shave well enough performance to host multiple instances of JMusicBot

the only small contra is, that you need to give them your credit card details.

YJSoft commented 3 years ago

Some things to consider:

  1. Oracle's A1 Instance will be deleted after 30-day trial period, although it's available as "Always-Free". You should delete instance(but not deleting boot volume), and recreate using previous boot volume.
  2. "Out of capacity" error might occur while try to create A1 instance. A1 instance server are limited, so when that error happens, you have to wait.(No ETA)
  3. Although you have to input credit card detail while sign up, that information will not used for billing. You have to input credit card details again to convert to paid account.

p.s.) It's not a good idea to use Micro E1 server to serve bots, as bandwith is limited to 50Mbps(A1 bandwith limits are high enough for bot)

Sanduhr32 commented 3 years ago

50Mbps is more than enough for selfhosting this bot, because you ain't serving hundreds or thousands of music - streams in parallel.

YJSoft commented 3 years ago

I tried, and got terrible audio quality. Maybe slow cpu is main problem(since its limited to 1/8 OCPU)

emhl commented 3 years ago

@YJSoft audio quality is fine on my Micro instance and cpu usage only peaked at 27% of the 1/8 Ocpu for a short time when i'm using the bot is the datacenter you chose in the same Region as you and the discord server?

YJSoft commented 3 years ago

Yep. it was same region. Maybe my internet was bad, but I don't run JMusicBot anymore so...

Anyway, I still recommend A1 rather than Micro E1 since it's more powerful.

kruleucc commented 3 years ago

I've been running the bot on Oracle for few days now, everything is working fine except bot goes offline during night, but the process stays running. Any thoughts about that?

MichailiK commented 3 years ago

That sounds like a re-connection issue. If you have the logs, you may open a new issue with the logs & output from the debug command

MichailiK commented 3 years ago

There actually seems to be an issue where the bot dies during prolonged inactivity. See #823

MichailiK commented 3 years ago

There are now reports of people getting suspended, https://github.com/jagrosh/MusicBot/pull/901#issuecomment-926343793 and https://github.com/jagrosh/MusicBot/pull/901#issuecomment-926356767. Because of these, this should probably be put on hold for now.

emhl commented 3 years ago

yeah, i've seen quite alot of reports like that over the last few weeks as well. I'll reopen the issue when no new reports of those suspensions get published anymore.

emhl commented 2 years ago

I haven't seen any reports of accounts getting terminated out of the blue on r/oraclecloud since the 17th of october, but it's probably better to wait a month longer to reopen this :D
