Oracle Cloud Deployment

Oracle Cloud Deployment

The recommended production deployment uses Oracle Cloud A1 Flex ARM64 instances with PM2 process management and Cloudflare Tunnel for HTTPS. This is the golden path deployment that Optima Forge itself runs on.

Instance Configuration

• Shape: VM.Standard.A1.Flex (ARM64)
• CPU: 8 OCPUs (configurable 1-80)
• Memory: 48GB RAM (6GB per OCPU)
• Storage: 200GB boot volume
• OS: Oracle Linux 9 or Ubuntu 22.04
• Cost: Within Oracle Always Free tier for small instances

pm2 start ecosystem.config.cjs
pm2 save
pm2 startup

Cloudflare Tunnel

curl -L https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-arm64 -o cloudflared
chmod +x cloudflared
sudo mv cloudflared /usr/local/bin/

# Authenticate and create tunnel
cloudflared tunnel login
cloudflared tunnel create forge
cloudflared tunnel route dns forge optima-forge.com

# Configure tunnel (config.yml)
# tunnel: <your-tunnel-id>
# ingress:
#   - hostname: optima-forge.com
#     service: http://localhost:3402
#   - service: http_status:404
