I do exactly this, using Hetzner as well. I was managing some side projects and self-hosting and the bill just seemed to creep up because the VPS's we never power enough to host. I started feeling the need to add more VPS's and then I started shopping around. In the end I got a similar deal and specs. I can do anything I want with it now and even with quite a few self hosted services and projects I'm still running at only about 10-15% capacity. If I want to spin up a new project or try out hosting something new it takes a couple minutes and I've got the scripts. Deployments are fast, maintenance is low, and I have far more for my money. For anyone who's interested this is the rough cut of what I'm using: * Ansible to manage everything * A tiny bit of terraform for some DNS entries which I may replace one day * restic for backups, again controlled by ansible * tailscale for vpn (I have some pi's running at home, nothing major but tailscale makes it easy and secure) * docker-compose for pretty much everything else
