FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the Oracle Cloud server actually free?

Yes — Oracle's "Always Free" tier includes a VM.Standard.E2.1.Micro instance that never expires, which is what the manual uses. A card is required for identity verification only; you are not charged for the Always Free resources used in this setup.

Does this work on Windows?

Yes. The manual gives PowerShell commands for Windows and Terminal commands for Mac at every step.

Can I use a different VPS instead of Oracle Cloud?

The manual is written and tested against Oracle Cloud's free tier (Ubuntu 22.04). The scripts themselves are standard Python/bash and don't depend on Oracle specifically — but the step-by-step instructions (security lists, networking) are Oracle-specific, so expect to adapt those steps if you use a different provider.

Can I run this for multiple YouTube channels?

The pipeline uses one OAuth token at a time, tied to one YouTube channel. Running multiple channels means running multiple separate setups (separate tokens, separate input folders) — the manual documents a single-channel setup; extending it to multiple channels means repeating the same steps per channel.

My OAuth token expired — what do I do?

This is documented in Module 8 (Troubleshooting Atlas) under Authentication Errors — regenerate the token on your laptop and re-upload it to your server. Takes about 2 minutes.

n8n stopped running — how do I fix it?

Also in Module 8: restart the n8n service with one command (sudo systemctl restart n8n) and confirm it shows "active (running)".

Will I get an email when a video uploads?

Not from the scripts themselves in v1.0 — they run silently. Check your pipeline log or YouTube Studio to confirm a video published successfully.

Does it generate captions automatically?

No, not in v1.0. This is filed for a future release.

Where do I get updates?

Check the Download Center and the manual's version history (Module 13) for the current version number.

What's your refund policy?

All sales are final — this is a digital product delivered instantly upon purchase. Please review the requirements above and the full product description before buying.

I'm not comfortable with command lines — is this still for me?

Probably not. This is a DIY implementation course, not a done-for-you service — you'll be typing commands into a terminal. If that sounds stressful rather than fine, this product is not a fit for you — please don't purchase, since all sales are final and there is no refund once the product is delivered.
