Running a 24GB 4 OCPU Always Free Oracle VM Instance, the catch is that it uses Arm 64bit processors and iv already ran into issues with standing up docker containers from some GitHub repos, due to incompatibility.

I am hoping there is a easyish way to emulate x86 so I can work with what I need to as seamlessly as possible. It’s quite a powerful server for FREE, if I can get the emulation working I don’t really care about the extra overheads.

    You probably want to use qemu for that. You might be able to find some tutorials on setting up a chroot in the context of people doing the opposite for running or compiling stuff for their arm based pi or similar systems on their PCs.

      Couldn’t find it in my package manager, also running Oracle Server OS 8.8 which doesn’t help, it’s a fork of RedHat, so meant to be the “new “ Centos. I.E a Redhat clone. But I keep running into odd issues with it.

      Worth to keep trying at it though.

      I may have to download with a wget instead, I’ll see what I can find.
