Affordable Cloud Hosting with Hetzner CX Series: Automating Deployments Using Kamal and GitHub Actions
Hetzner’s recent launch of their CX series cloud computing instances with Intel vCPUs that offers incredibly affordable cloud computing options, perfect for those willing to get hands-on and not afraid to dive into the technical details. It made me reevaluate the current setup for Hemmelig.app. Previously, Hemmelig were using a Linode nanode server, and Ansible for deployments. No CI/CD. However, I felt that the existing stack had become not easy to use, and wanted to change the setup.
I opted for the CX32 instance since I required more computing power than the previous Nanode 1GB 1 vCPU 25GB storage priced at $5 excluding VAT. If you look at the image, you can see Hetzner’s pricing model. These prices include VAT.
As you can see it is restricted to the HTTP(s) traffic the Cloudflare global network to mask the IP address from the world as Hemmelig.app is using CloudFlare. Here are the IPV4 and IPV6 lists.
Cloudflare is a web performance and security company that provides a global cloud platform that delivers a range of network services to businesses around the world.
