For NIH one drive,
- we can only share with NIH users.
- When sharing a file, the receiver needs to sign in through their browser and if the files are large, it cannot be opened online and needs to be downloaded to local first.
- we need a PIV card in order to see oneDrive online.
- it seems we cannot use oneDrive as a backup. If we unselect a folder for syncing, the folder will be immediately removed from the local system.
- not sure if the syncing is working. I copy a new folder to the local onedrive folder. The oneDrive icon on the top menu keeps rotation but nothing really happened. The new files are not in cloud and the syncing symbol shows files are not synced.

- Difficult to create VMs: Out of capacity for shape VM.Standard.A1.Flex in availability domain AD-2. Create the instance in a different availability domain or try again later. If you specified a fault domain, try creating the instance without specifying a fault domain, otherwise try creating the instance in a different availability domain. If that doesn’t work, please try again later.

- This works. Suppose I installed Docker and start a nginx container. Then, Step 1 (seems not needed).
sudo apt install firewalld sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --add-port=8080/tcp # sudo firewall-cmd --zone=public --permanent --remove-port=8080/tcp sudo firewall-cmd --reload sudo firewall-cmd --state9 sudo systemctl status firewalld sudo firewall-cmd --list-all sudo firewall-cmd --list-ports # list open ports
Or (not tested).
sudo apt install ufw ufw --version sudo ufw enable sudo ufw allow 80/tcp sudo ufw status
Step 2. Click on my Virtual cloud network vcn-2024xxxx-xxxx. Subnets -> subnet-2024XXXX-xxxx -> Security Lists -> "Default Security List for vcn-2024XXXX-xxxx" -> Ingress Rules -> Add Ingress Rules. Currently the rules contain port 22. So I just add port 8080.
