Hetzner + docker swarm can take you long way for a fraction of cost of any next alternative And for a fraction of a mental burden and stress of the lightest k8

And for a fraction of a mental burden and stress of the lightest k8s setup you can imagine
- quectophoton 2y agoI did something like this for a while when I was messing around with my personal website, but with one node in Hetzner and other in Linode. It was a really nice way of managing services without bringing a full kitchen sink factory factory. The only thing I found lacking was an easy way to share volumes across nodes. There's plugins and stuff, but for me it was not worth the effort. I ended up just ditching Linode and having everything in a single Hetzner VPS. I can do this because it was mostly experimenting and didn't really need to have more than one server. But for this specific case, the volumes thing was what ended up tipping the balance in favor of only having a single server because it wasn't worth the effort.
