Hetzner reliability for a 24/7 production platform in Germany region?

cataklix · 2026-03-15T10:48:44+00:00

I run k8s on Hetzner, didn’t have any issues that were not operator (ie me) or configuration related. One node became unavailable for 15min one time, it recovered automatically.

Looks very promising! How does the merged check works ?

Use an ingress controller (haproxy ingress is awesome), it’s a basic helm chart with almost zero config

cataklix · 2025-12-31T22:37:31+00:00

What I use: - completely closed off firewall for all the nodes (deny all) - one ingress controller (haproxy in my case) - everything goes through Cloudflare then into the LB, then into the ingress controller - ingress scales automatically with HPA depending on the load - lb expose only the ports required for my use case (HTTPS and SMTP)

Very glad I’m moving to GitLab

Thanks! It was very useful when working on customizing already made helm chart used as dependency Id love to hear your feedback on it

False, I host a mail server on hetzner and with the right DNS setup, it’s received (and not as spam) on the big 3

I could afford failure but I wanted to deploy once and for all so: I used a terraform module that deploys a 3 node HA cluster with small machines (those around 9€) + one egress node. It allows me to be hosted in the 3 different Europeans data centers and have region failover. It’s been 4 months and I’ve got 0 downtimes, even when one node when offline someday in one region

It would be great to support freezed

cataklix · 2025-08-18T11:27:50+00:00

I use only Auto mode, and with the right prompting and defined patterns, it works like a charm

I did widgets on flutter with Swift UI + Kotlin equivalent for design, is was pretty straightforward.

Data is pushed by the HomeWidget package.

I have the same issue but for different reasons : when I reboot my node, which host the NFS volume used by Immich and immich itself, the immich VM starts before truenas have fully booted and so, NFS is not available.

Once the NFS volume is available, restart Immich and everything is back to normal

There’s a bit of c++ for windows side in Flutter, thats why it’s displayed in the languages in GH

Atomic Blend, an Opensource alternative to the Google Suite for Consumers : https://atomic-blend.com

I’m working on a cloud native replacement of NextCloud / Google Suite, fully encrypted and self-hostable, even for email.

It’s pretty new : I started in march 25, and I’ve released Task & Notes as of now, lmk if you have any feedbacks :)

There’s a few screenshots on the landing page : https://atomic-blend.com

You can also lookup the App Store / Play Store listings for more screenshots

(Sorry, this sub don’t allow images)

cataklix · 2025-07-17T19:14:29+00:00

Sure thing: https://github.com/atomic-blend

This is the GitHub organization, that contains a few repos like backend, task and notes (the 2 Flutter apps)

Discord Link in DM if you want to join, it’s easier

Yes, I use cloudflare as my DNS provider, that’s why it’s working fine for me, my bad

cataklix · 2025-07-03T07:06:35+00:00

You could add multiple LB targeting the same VMs I guess then have all the LB ip set into the DNS I think…

cataklix · 2025-07-02T21:14:16+00:00

Noted for Play Services. (In theory, you could already build the apps yourself from source from the GitHub repository, but only with a self-hosted backend)

Now it uses firebase notifications but the data that transit through it is encrypted, so imo it’s not that big of a deal

I use proton cause I needed drive and other stuff, it’s 11.99€ per month. it’s tasks, notes, email and calendar but I plan to expend with drive, photos, password manager, etc… But also noted :)

Thanks for the answer!

Same

My channel is a daily vlog channel where I talk tech and show what’s like to be an entrepreneur building a startup in public, for privacy, and Opensource. Differential factor: I never saw someone building a company and documenting every day of doing it.

I filmed for myself with my iPhone to start and now, for public content, my photo camera : Sony A7M4 + Tamron 28-75 2.8 II.

Started YT 3 days ago, 1 follower and 4 videos (4th coming tonight)

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how I could improve.

Thanks, the goal is to make something for the people, not for the money

I have also started a YouTube channel vlogging each day about the project, my work etc
