Pro tips : use Netcup instead of Hetzner.
For $20 you get :
2x more compute
2x more memory
4x more GBs
kinda unlimited egress
you're welcome
I took a $20 Hetzner server to try self-hosting BlitzReels
- Optimized the Docker image
- using Github Actions with Cache
Man, deploying the app now takes 30 to 60 minutes
That's 10-20x slower than Vercel on the smallest instance!!
Obviously that's the compromise from self-hosting
I should maybe check what @useblacksmith has in store with caching, they're great

Not quite 😉Arct: 8 shared vCPUs, 16 GB RAM, 150 GB NVMe and 6 TB transfer $31.89/mo.netcup: 8 dedicated EPYC cores, 16 GB DDR5 ECC, 512 GB NVMe and flat-rate traffic €24.88/mo.Arct wins on flexibility. netcup wins on compute, storage and value.

Everyone who has been a netcup customer for quite some time knows this "dedicated epyc cores" mean absolutely nothing with how performance has tanked multiple times over the years 😌
It's great but it's not as great as you make it out to be.
