Overthinking it?
Your solutions costs $240/year.
There are solutions out there that would probably bring that under $20/year, and be more reliable than your VM that falls over when it's full of logs (at some indeterminate future date).
10x+ savings with greater reliability isn't "overthinking it", it's a greatly improved solution.
- kyrra 4y agoCheapest linode is $5/month. Not sure why you'd need one that is $20/month
- Dylan16807 4y agoAnd LowEndBox has a reasonable list of $1/month servers. And that's not as low as it goes either.

- tourist2d 4y agoI charge my clients $550 an hour, so a $240 a year solution which takes 15 mins to set up is what I would choose over the time consuming alternatives offered.
- weird-eye-issue 4y agoI think you are just more used to creating a VM and running crons from there. The other alternatives aren't necessarily time consuming, you just aren't used to them
- jerrre 4y ago> more reliable than your VM that falls over when it's full of logs (at some indeterminate future date) If this is an issue, I think all other solutions have similar risks: account banned, company acquired/closed down, forced update to new API/system, to a point that I think I'd take the bet on a VM living longer in most cases
