HestiaCP with Cloudflare - Web and Email setup on Oracle Cloud

[@IdeaSpot]

Cloudflare + Hestia Video is back up - the old one got auto deleted because I tried to add links into it after it went live - annoying 😅 Anyway, this one is a bit smoother to follow and improves a few issues from the first video too 👍

It’s midnight in my time zone. However, I stayed up just to post this comment. Thank you for your videos Alex. Very helpful.

Good morning!

[@michaeljarcher]

Cloudflare is the only viable (free, cheap) option in which you get to hide your IP's from the eyes of those just wanting to attack you. Never setup a site without it being behind cloudflare proxy. (except for setup purposed) Good Video Alex keep them coming.

[@IdeaSpot]

Thanks Michael, appreciate it

[@IchBinBoss]

Yeah but with MX Lookup you can find the original IP.. So thats why you shouldnt use a Mailserver at your root server.. Instead of that you can use free Zohomail / Yandex with your own domain

[@IdeaSpot]

yeah great point, well thats just one of the reasons to keep email and web separate too!

[@johnchristian7788]

Thank you for repeating simple steps that you already showed in other videos. Very helpful for beginners.

Mate. Ridiculous. You are an absolute weapon, thank you for the level of detail you go into, and the width of coverage also. I've been looking for quick easy ways to move services from my home VMWare box with a public IP up to a hosted VPS but it always seemed so daunting. At least now I have a few different things to try, from Vultr to Oracle, aaPanel and Hestia, so thanks again. Now I just need you to teach me how to migrate hMailServer emails from a Windows Server 2003 VM (lol) to an Oracle hosted Ubuntu VM with Hestia, lol

[@Montagrus]

It is amazing, your tutorials are nice and easy to follow

[@leothewolf]

​@@IdeaSpot See this `Each tenancy gets the first 3,000 OCPU hours and 18,000 GB hours per month for free to create Ampere A1 Compute instances using the VM.Standard.A1.Flex shape (equivalent to 4 OCPUs and 24 GB of memory). Each tenancy also gets two VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro instances for free.` So according to this I already have an ampere instance [24gb] can I have one e2 instance too?[in free trial like I dont need to pay for the other e2 running at the same time]

Great video, got everything working via Cloudflare and setup Email SMTP via Google with App password as Google no longer supports unsecure apps. A couple of issues that I hope can help others. Firstly, there is a bug using the App to install Wordpress. It gives an empty DB Table. I solve it by importing a basic WP table. Once I got a basic WP installed I migrated my WP site. Secondly, there was an issue was the post _max_size and the upload_max_filesize was too small. I created a .user.ini file in the .htaccess directory with the settings I needed. For information I used the 2 AMP processor with 12MB. My quite heavy WP site runs very fast. Thanks again Alex and hope my small contribution helps others.

Tell your server you are the boss via SSH: Change folder permissions: find /your/wordpress/directory -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; Change file permissions: find /path/to/wordpress -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; A quicker alternative is to change ownership of WP folder to the user running your server. Hestia does that by default. sudo chown -R nginx:nginx /public_html nginx is just a sample user here.

Thank you for this tutorial. Can you make a Hetzner + Hestia (+Cloudflare) + Email setup tutorial?

Better to buy a reliable 4.19 Euro/month Cloud at Hetzner than stay at the mercy of Oracle's disponibility of free tiers and corporate humanless bureaucracy.

[@IdeaSpot]

its basically the same, just you will use the Hetzner firewall (which they provide free) rather than the oracle one we used here - they will also allow you to use port 25 so you may not need the SMTP relay step (although it still may help, depending on what kind of email you're doing)
