I've just moved my test k8s from linode into a test docker swarm on hetzner because I anyway don't test the yml, I test the images. lots cheaper for stuff that does nothing all day. I don't really care if it goes down either, so whatevs. Did get an email from them that I'm going to pay like $1/vps/month more, which is an outrage of 25% increase, but it's still 5x as cheap as linode lol
You seem like an ideal candidate for a used 1U server running Proxmox and a $50/mo colo
I wish. I have 4 colo'd boxes remaining atm but they're a money sink and they're starting to fail more and more. I'm aiming to scale down to 2 production boxes, leased, and a bunch of ultra-cheap VPS that are purely defined by an hcl script, and that's it.
Maybe I should even get rid of the 2 production boxes this year. All I really need is a build street for CI/CD and small shit for myself. Perhaps a single prod box where I don't care if it goes down. Nothing at stake.
what makes it shitty tho?
i was looking at hetzner, seems kind of expensive if you want 16gb ram. Damn, memory expensive these days.
k00b said i shoudl have 16gb to run openclaw
It barely needs 2gb, it a simple process that glues external APIs... a 4GB VPS would have plenty of spare headspace.
Running a local model via ollama etc is a different can of worms, need 16gb of VRAM or 128GB unified DDR5 to do that even half-well.

At these price points your not getting a real SLA and probably hardware that's over-provisioned and insufficient redundancy for critical workloads... if something is really important you gotta go to an Akamai-tier vendor
Been moving more and more stuff there, it might be the most reliable shitty cheap one so far.
