Creating Your Own Stockfish in the Cloud

given that the system is switched of when not in use, is not a bigf issue for an attacker.
Malroy simply can scan the uptime of thousands of potential targets.

Yes I expect there is NOW NO DIRECT exploit, but you increase the attackvector for any furhter exploit or for a commbinations of different exploits.

Anyhow it is strongly requested to apply the best practices for linux operation for 20 years.
Never work directly with root, use sudo instead.
Never run "service" as root, use a dedicated service user, with minimal permissions.

Also chess software is normally not very well security hardended. ...
Even more if you want to run experimental stockfishes. ..
Therefore it is strongly requested to harden and minimize your OS.

I agree, I have added a note at the end of the blog about security and things the end user should look into. Thanks for pointing this out.

Interesting, did you give the article a try on a MacOS? I am curious how the bog holds up as it was written for Windows.

I didn't try anything. I just checked that homebrew would install it. Since I don't have a cloud service, I didn't pursue the attempt further.

One question, would this recipe work on the Oracle free tier: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/free/, and most importantly, using their arm processor, which is a powerful machine with great capabilities? They are free, lol

Yes, the steps should be very similar.
