Can any Hetzner user, please explain there workflow on Hetzner?

• terraform-hcloud-kube-hetzner

  27 2,457 9.3 HCL

  Optimized and Maintenance-free Kubernetes on Hetzner Cloud in one command!

  

  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 https://github.com/hetznercloud/hcloud-cloud-controller-mana...)

  * Hetzner storage volumes (thanks to https://github.com/hetznercloud/csi-driver)

  Kube-Hetzner supports Hetzner Cloud loadbalancers and volumes out of the box, though it also supports other components.

• Caddy

  423 58,631 9.5 Go

  Fast and extensible multi-platform HTTP/1-2-3 web server with automatic HTTPS

  

  > Some might prefer Caddy, which is another great web server with automatic HTTPS: https://caddyserver.com/ but the Apache modules do pretty much everything I need and the performance has never actually been too bad for my needs. Up until now, applications themselves have always been the bottleneck, actually working on a blog post about comparing some web servers in real world circumstances.

  For some reason Apache gets bad rap for being old and slow while in reality it's still a pretty damn good at what it does. I worked at hosting provider that used Apache on all of their servers and I have never had any doubts that Apache is more than enough for all the things I might ever want to do with it. Sure, it doesn't serve up Markdown files as Caddy does, but as for performance then Apache itself has never been a bottleneck either. It's always the application or the database, never Apache.

• honey-swarm

  Setup a full fledged portainer + Traefik swam cluster with ansible playbooks and a few VPS

  I've been using docker swarm + traefik + portainer and I'm quite happy. I orchestrate everything with Ansible [1]. The only manual process I have is provisioning the servers / load balancers.

  It provides a super nice balance between going all manual VPS and going all on the kubernetes cool aid

  Ansible based Tooling and production grade example Docker Stacks. Updated with new learnings from running Docker Swarm in production

  

  We use Docker Swarm for our deployments, so I will answer the questions based on that.

  We have built some tooling around setting up and maintaining the swarm using ansible [0]. We also added some Hetzner flavour to that [1] which allows us to automatically spin up completely new clusters in a really short amount of time.

  deploy from source repo:

  - We use Azure DevOps pipelines that automate deployments based on environment configs living in an encrypted state in Git repos. We use [2] and [3] to make it easier to organize the deployments using `docker stack deploy` under the hood.

  keep software up to date:

  - We are currently looking into CVE scanners that export into prometheus to give us an idea of what we should update

  load balancing:

  - depending on the project, Hetzner LB or Cloudflare

  handle scaling:

  - manually, but i would love to build some autoscaler for swarm that interacts with our tooling [0] and [1]

  automate backups:

  - docker swarm cronjobs either via jobs with restart condition and a delay or [4]

  maintain security:

  - Hetzner LB is front facing. Communication is done via encrypted networks inside Hetzner private cloud networks

• docker-volume-hetzner

  5 108 7.2 Go

  Docker Volume Plugin for accessing Hetzner Cloud Volumes

  we use https://github.com/costela/docker-volume-hetzner which is really stable.

  CSI support for Swarm is in beta as well and already merged in the Hetzner CSI driver (https://github.com/hetznercloud/csi-driver/tree/main/deploy/...). There are some rough edges atm with Docker + CSI so I would stick with docker-volume-hetzner for now for prod usage.

  Disclaimer: I contributed to both repos.
