Free VPS for students

Hi, I was wondering if you know of any free VPS hosting options for students. I'm not really a fan of Linode since their offer is only for two months with $100 in credits, but I need a VPS for around three months. The server doesn't need to be super powerful—just enough to host a PostgreSQL database and a Next.js site.

As far as Next.js hosting goes, I'd say just use Vercel. Then there's Supabase, they offer 500MB of postgres space (shared vCPU + 500MB of ram).

I understand that this doesn't exactly align with what you want, but these are services which I would trust and are free. I'm not sure you would be able to find a free VPS anywhere, sadly :(

Yeah i used it before but doesn't align with the school context

Can you expand on "school context" a bit more? I'm not sure I'm following

There is this Azure offering which is a part of the GitHub Students Developer pack. This would only work if you're under 18 tho

I m in a master's degree and for a lessons i want to push a bit futher than what's intended by deploying in beta prod fashion using gitlab ci/cd but need a vps to do so. It's been a long time since i m not 18 anymore xd

I know my school has publics IP for student and i have a server there but i need to wait too long before they redirect an ip to my server / if they do it in the end. xd

I tried oracle free compute but it's way to slow like 5 min to update the package registry
