  1. Anyone here using https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s Or https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... For a K3S cluster? Would love to hear any experience. Thanks!

  2. sounds and looks great! There are many good projects out there to deploy Kubernetes https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... , https://github.com/vitobotta/hetzner-k3s . However, I like that yours is manageable via…

  3. For anyone interested I am in the last stages of building a course operating around Kube-Hetzner ( https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... 3k github stars). Basically a lot of scripts that shows how this works and…

  4. There is this project to deploy k3s to Hetzner via Terraform: https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... It's not the smoothest thing I've ever used, but it's all self hosted and everything can be fixed with some…
    comment by andix · 2025-08-15 · in Show HN: Edka – Kubernetes clusters on your own Hetzner account
  5. Yeah so at the moment it kind of supports two options: 1. A single Hetzner VPS 2. An existing Kubernetes cluster. I usually use #1 for staging / development apps, and then #2 for production apps. For #2, I manage the number of nodes on the…

  6. This is definitely some ChatGPT output being posted here and your post history also has a lot of this "While X, Y also does Z. Y already overlaps with X" output. I'd like to see your breakdowns as well, given that the cost difference…

  7. I haven't used it personally, but https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... looks amazing as a way to setup and manage kubernetes on Hetzner. At the moment I'm on Oracle free tier, but I keep thinking about switching…

  8. There is a nice one-click kubernetes for hetzner if you use the terraform module: https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... There is also a gpt that you can use that will genereate you the module block based on your…

  10. I like Epinio which does the same but on top of kubernetes. It is backed by Suse and lightweight compared to KNative (which is the basis of GCP CloudRun for example), but being kubernetes based still requires more Resources than dokku or…

    story by rickette · 2024-03-25 · 2 comments
  12. I run my own cluster too, it is managed by one terraform file which is maintained on GitHub [0]. Along with that I deploy everything on here with 1 shell script and a bunch of yaml manifests for my services. It's perfect for projects that…

  15. It's not even close to major public cloud providers, but this is my setup: * https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... (Terraform, Kubernetes bootstrap) * Flux for CI * nginx-ingress + Hetzner Loadbalancer (thanks to…

  16. I am not sure what level of abstraction and automation you are aiming for but there is a pretty neat project for setting up a kubernetes cluster including automatic updates in hetzner [1]. Even if it exceeds your requirements you can…

  17. With Hetzner VMs and k3s one could run a k8 cluster with amazingly low cost. There are even ready-made repos that make it lighting fast to deploy and easy to maintain... https://github.com/kube-hetzner/terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzne... Even…

  18. I have a cluster using terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner [0] and I'm quite happy with it. It uses MicroOS for rolling releases and auto-upgrades for less maintenance. I'm quite happy with it so far, and I like that it integrates with…
