Open Port 80 Oracle Cloud Compute Instance (CentOS)

FYI This was harder than it needed to be:

1. Looking at your instance info, find VNIC section, click "Public Subnet".
2. Click on your security list.
3. Add a new entry with the following options:

• "Stateless" = No, "Source" = 0.0.0.0/0, "IP Protocol" = TCP, "Source Port Range" = All, "Destination Port Range" = 80

4. SSH to your instance.
5. While SSH'ed in your instance, run command firewall-cmd --permanent --add-service=http.
6. While SSH'ed in your instance, run command firewall-cmd --reload.
7. Now start Apache, NGINX, or whatever server you need to on port 80. You can now access from the internet.

Here are the steps needed to convert an image (like JPG or TIF) to MBTiles using GDAL:

1. Download and install GDAL (https://gdal.org/, https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/gdal):

      conda install -c conda-forge gdal
   

   Installing GDAL is kind of a pain in the ass, especially on Windows. I'm assuming you'll be able to work out whatever issues you run into here.

2. Download example jpg and tif map images we can work with:

   • http://www.radcyberzine.com/xglobe/index.html#maps - See Super-hi-res maps section, download one of the jpg files.
