This post say’s I can, ready start 🙂 (I would say it took an hour, but still, it works 🙂

Ok, setting up a free tier account, the usual you have to use a CC.

Oracle does not accept virtual cards or prepaid cards.

(I was annoyed that it doesn’t allow you to use Virtual Cards https://supportrenewalshelp.oracle.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1217/~/available-payment-options?

(my favorite is Privacy.Com)

Hit Change Image

Change to Oracle Images, and at the bottom hit the Right Arrow until you see Oracle E-Business Suite 12.2.10 Demo Install. (Hey how come no search!)

Changed the shape

I’m going to let it generate the SSH key

Since I’m on Windows + Putty I need to convert it to ppk

To use it is under SSH Auth in putty

Use the User given on the Oracle portal.

So I actually like the instructions here

Before you start the services, we need to create a Security Rule in the VCN to ensure we can access the port 8000 for EBS.

Navigate to Networking — Virtual Cloud Networks — Click on VCN — Security Lists — Add Ingress Rules — Provide CIDR, Port 8000

Reading in the images the path to the startup scripts are

change to running as oracle

su – oracle

cd /u01/install/APPS/scripts/

sh startdb.sh

sh startapps.sh <—– this can take a long time

. /u01/install/APPS/EBSapps.env run

sh enableSYSADMIN.sh

So, supposedly you can put apps.example.com in your hosts file and it will work.

When I tried it, it usually ended up being something like
