The documentation clearly states that idle vms on free tier could be reclaimed: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/FreeTier/freetier_topic-Always_Free_Resources.htm#freetier_topic_Always_Free_Resources_Infrastructure
Idle Always Free compute instances may be reclaimed by Oracle. Oracle will deem virtual machine and bare metal compute instances as idle if, during a 7-day period, the following are true: CPU utilization for the 95th percentile is less than 15% Network utilization is less than 15% Memory utilization is less than 15% (applies to A1 shapes only)
So don’t create a 4 core 32gb ram vm to run a vpn, and you should be fine :)
In plugins.lua, you’ve commented the line loading the null-ls config, which was setting clang-format as a null-ls source, maybe that’s your culprit?
K8s really shines when you start hosting more stuff, even on a single node. I definitely recommend giving k3s a try. I wouldn’t recommend it for only a couple of services though.
Is it overkill? Yes, applying docker-compose manually also works. But then you still have to make your reverse proxy, your certificate and all your services work together. You can write Ansible for it, but then you end up with a lot of custom code to maintain and you still don’t get all the nice features.
For me the killer feature was flux. Your code, configs and even secrets live in git and get autodeployed and autohealed. And it has other features such as operators to fetch helm charts from other repos and apply your config to it.
The openai cookbook, while mostly focused on openai llms, provides lots of useful information about how to improve result reliability by tweaking your prompt and a lot more such as code samples: https://github.com/openai/openai-cookbook
About langchain, I’ll go a bit against the flow and would suggest against it if you want to actually understand what is happening. It provides too much abstraction that hides the prompts and prevents you to easily adapt it’s behavior. This discussion on hackernews talks more about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36645575 Having recently dived into this topic and having been bitten by langchain shortcomings, I cannot but agree with the comments.
