Using Oracle Cloud Free tier
The problem This week I have been searching for solutions to use domains with my applications running in containers in my MacBook Pro server.

Life update - November 2023
Life as a father My kid is already 7 months old. The time goes too fast. He already dragging himself on the floor and not crying so much anymore.

It is a totally different experience. I remember the day my wife said the test came out positive.
