As an aside, if you're using a Hetzner VPS for Umami you might be over-specced. I just cut my Hetzner bill by $4/mo by moving my Umami box to one of the free Oracle Cloud VPS after someone on here pointed out the option to me. Depends whether this is a hobby thing or something more serious, but that option is there.
I would pay $4/mo to stay as far away from Oracle as possible
All fine and well, but oracle will threaten to turn off your instance if you don’t maintain a reasonable average CPU usage on the free hosts, and will eventually do so abruptly.
This became enough of a hassle that I stopped using them.
Do you mean if it’s idle, or if it’s maxed out? I’ve had a few relatively idle free-tier VMs with Oracle and I’ve not received any threats of shutoff over the last 3 years I’ve had them online.
Idle - low usage Minecraft server was the issue for me
I assumed the same, but as long as you keep a credit card on file apparently they will let you idle it too. I went in and set my max budget at $1/mo and set alerts too, just in case.
I pay for Hetzner because it’s an EU based, sane company without a power hungry CEO.
Orange Man Bad?!?
Yes: Orange clown very bad.
>ebola
lol.
I've got a whole Hetzner EX41 bare metal server, as opposed to a VPS. It's gotr like 20 services on it.
But yeah it is massively overspecced. Makes me feel cool load testing my go backend at 8000 requests per second though!
The manageability of having everything on one host is kind of nice at that scale, but yeah you can stack free tiers on various providers for less.
