free linux server

Is there any free linux server resource available for computing or biocomputing to work with command line?

assembly illumina genome

I've already visited this topic, but it is very old and some informed links are no longer available. I figured asking again could get new tips on that.

Thanks!

This may not be the answer you were looking for, but I will put it out there for your consideration.

Most Linux distributions are, for all practical purposes, free. Linux can be installed in dual-boot fashion alongside other operating systems such as Windows. It can be even tested from a DVD or a USB stick without modifying the existing system. All of this is to say that it takes very little money to create a Linux desktop or server, as long as you already have a computer. That may be a better choice to consider as you will have control over what is installed, rather than hoping that there is a free server out there with enough resources that will match your needs.

You can run almost any OS through Docker on almost any computer.

What kind of bio computing? I know of some resources, but they're limited by discipline.

Cyverse is great, and, to my knowledge still free. https://cyverse.org/
