I wouldn't suggest to use that for the main DB, but for almost everything else docker works perfectly fine on Hetzner.

  Right, but I'm concerned with the initial provisioning of the OS on which docker runs. It's not nothing even if the apps run in docker.

    In most cases, you can just provision the OS from a web interface. If you get a bigger machine where you need to configure the disks yourself, there is a pretty easy to use command line tool they built which does most of the work. The only part which I had to learn the hard way is configuring iptables to secure my servers against external attacks. Luckily, recent versions of docker make it easy to keep iptables configured - at the beginning, that was almost a nightmare...

      Is there a command line tool to automate installing the OS? Well what I would really like is to be able to deploy something like an "AMI" on these dedicated servers. Any ideas for how to get something close?

        Yes, there is one: https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Installimage/en https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/Installimage/en
