On your Hetzner servers

What We Set Up and Manage

Docker Swarm

Orchestration for up to around 50 services with rolling updates, self-healing and encrypted secrets.

Nginx edge

Routing, TLS, caching and rate limiting for every domain and service.

Cloudflare in front

CDN, WAF, DDoS protection and secure tunnels, so servers expose no public ports.

CI/CD from Git

Build, scan and deploy on every push, with one-command rollback.

Monitoring & alerts

Prometheus, Grafana, Loki and uptime checks, with alerts where your team works.

Backups & recovery

Encrypted off-server backups, tested restores and a recovery runbook.

Working with Hetzner

Getting the Most From Hetzner

Price-performance

  • Strong CPU and RAM per euro makes Hetzner ideal for running many containers on few servers.

European data residency

  • Data centres in Germany and Finland suit GDPR-sensitive workloads; Hetzner also has locations in the USA and Singapore.

Networks, firewalls and volumes

  • Private networks, Hetzner firewalls and attached volumes, all defined in Terraform.

Cloud or dedicated

  • Start on Hetzner Cloud and move heavy databases to dedicated servers when it pays off.
