I use both and am very satisfied, especially by Hetzner.

Only complaint with Hetzner is they don't have some kind of OAuth setup for machines or scoped API tokens, just read/write. I'd like to use the former for doing Vault authentication from instances, and the latter for writing a dynamic Vault secret provider.

Can’t you use a third party IAM solution for this? Like Okta or keycloak?

I remember someone complaining they had to send Hetzner a passport or some other type of ID to cancel their services.

Does anyone know if that's still the case?

They require passport or some sort of ID on registration, and it is weird when compared to others. I was not happy with that part, but I am happy customer since (almost a decade now).

As far as I know, they do not require any ID when canceling the service.

Well I would appreciate that, since I was victim of russian hackers and they had access to all my servers and stuff on Hetzer, they even changed passwords and mail on Robot but i restored everything...

Do they have Terraform providers? And managed Postgres? besides from the ability to just host a Docker container is all I need.

Yes and (unfortunately) no. Terraform providers are here [1] with the official documentation at [2]. Managed databases are not available, though. I think they have some sort of database offering if you select their web hosting options, but you can't just get a managed Postgres instance yourself.

EDIT: For what it's worth, I have had good experiences with app servers hosted on Hetzner Cloud and managed Postgres provided by ElephantSQL (https://www.elephantsql.com/) for Germany-based apps.

Got it, thanks. I've used ElephantSQL as well and I've been happy with them.

Hey would you be into trying a manage service platform I'm building for Hetzner? It's called Nimbus[0].

I'd love some feedback, specifically:

- Which services do you most want to use/have managed

- What databases do you find yourself using the most

- Concerning caches, do you use memcached or mostly Redis?
