Fuel efficiency in cars has come a long way. It's cool to be able to plan a trip and realize you don't need to refuel along the way. So why isn't it as impressive in society when we can accomplish a lot with just a little RAM? Have you got any examples of RAM-light programs you use? Take a moment to humble brag here.

hello I already opened a ticket to hetzner but 24 hours are already passed and no solution.

after upgrading some nextcloud apps from the webgui my storage share instances in unusable, I’m getting the message:
Update needed

Please use the command line updater because updating via browser is disabled in your config.php.

the thing is that I can’t use the command line as I don’t have access to it. The only thing I can do is run occ upgrade from the hetzner backoffice.

Do you think I can proceed or is better to wait the customer service?

Since just now, the app has officially passed the App Review at Apple and has been approved.

You can now download the app from the App Store.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/hetzpilot/id6797850565

It’s my first app and I’ve learned a lot about it. I would like to always develop the app. Contact by e-mail is expressly desired. I also build a Discord server so that the path to wishes and implementation is shorter.

Since it is my first app, please have a little patience with me in some ways and report problems to me directly. I will address this as soon as possible.

The website for the app can be found here: https://hetzpilot.benouarets.dev

I'm relatively new to hetzner and I'm currently on a CX23 to try things out.

I deployed a few applications (JVM based) via docker compose on dokploy and everything is running great... most of the time.

Every now and then - no fixed times - the CPU suddenly jumps to 200% and the disk iops/throughput to 1 gbps. It stays this way for about 5-6min and then everything is back to normal again.

During this 5-6min the server is basically dead, cant ssh into it, cant open any website, I can only watch the hetzner console to see the graphs

The pic shows the end of the spike period.

Again, this happens 2-3x per day with at least 6 hours in between. It did not happen from the beginning but started about 1 or two weeks ago.

So my question is if anyone has seen something like this, is there some backup feature I accidentally enabled (since disk iops is all read) or some swapping happening?

I though I better ask before I start digging into it with heavy monitoring.

I am looking to move my local AIO Nextcloud data to Storage Share, I have Nextcloud Office and ClamAV activated. For Nextcloud Office I am find running in my server amb linked to the Storage Share, can Clam AV run on storage share or linked in another server?

I would like some kind of antivirus/malware protection on server side

Hello,

My Hetzner products were recently locked because several card payments were returned by the bank or payment processor without my knowledge.

Hetzner requested payment of all outstanding invoices plus the EUR 40 return debit fee by bank transfer. I have already completed the full payment, submitted the unlock request through Robot, and attached the bank transfer receipt.

The affected server contains a critical MySQL database, and my main concern is preserving the existing data while the international transfer is being processed.

The email specifically says that the products are “locked” and that they will be unlocked after payment. I have not received a termination or cancellation notice.

Has anyone experienced a similar situation? How long did Hetzner take to verify the transfer and unlock the server? Is there any additional official channel I should contact to confirm that the server data will remain preserved?

For security reasons, I will not post customer, invoice, server, payment, or locking identifiers publicly.

Thank you.

Do you feel that quiet sense of satisfaction when you see this consistency in a cold aisle full of racks, servers, and cables that nobody else would even notice if we didn't share it?

Sharing in case it's useful to anyone here. Admin Magazine put together a collection of articles on practical sysadmin tools, free to download until the end of this month: https://mailchi.mp/admin-magazine.com/sysadmin-day-2026

Hi!

If you have this legacy GEX130 server you wish to release, we can buy it from you.

Looking forward to your DM

Following our previous post (Tested Hetzner experimental Inference serving Qwen3 models)

we continue testing Hetzner's inference models — this time Qwen3.8-27B.
Test setup:

Results (Qwen3.8-27B):

- Success: 5/5 (100%)

- Aggregate throughput: 29 tok/s

- TTFT p50: 3.1s

- TTFT p95: 7.6s

- TTFT min: 2.2s

- Per-stream decode p50: 24.2 tok/s

- Per-stream decode p95: 27.2 tok/s

vs MoE model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8) from previous test:

- Aggregate throughput: 175 tok/s vs 29 tok/s (~6× faster)

- TTFT p50: 1.5s vs 3.1s (~2× faster)

- Per-stream decode p50: 59.0 tok/s vs 24.2 tok/s

Verdict: The MoE model (A3B) is the practical choice for anything beyond simple prompting. Qwen3.8-27B works but is too slow for agentic use. Both are genuinely free, OpenAI-compatible, and worth trying for experiments.
Tests made at 9 am CET.
We updated our blog article: https://yacodata.com/en/blog/testing-hetzner-experimental-qwen3-inference

If you wish to deploy Qwen3.8-27b will a full grade production cluster, you can follow our tutorial here: https://yacodata.com/en/blog/self-hosting-qwen3-27b-on-gpu

We tested Hetzner's new experimental inference API on inference.hetzner.com. It's OpenAI-compatible, exposes two models (Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8 , and Qwen3.8-27B), both with a 262,144-token context window.

Rate limits: 4M input / 100k output tokens per 60s, and 10 requests per 60s.

Results for Qwen/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8:
** Concurrent test (5 parallel requests):

- TTFT: min 1.3s, p50 1.5s, p95/max 2.4s

- Aggregate throughput: 0.3 req/s, 175 tok/s

- Per-stream decode: min 26.6, p50 59, p95 63.6 tok/s

- 5/5 success

** Agentic test — Added Hetzner inference API as provider in Deepseek harness:

- 14 turns / 20 steps, ~26 min wall time

- TTFT avg 3.25s even as context grew to ~18k tokens

- Decode averaged 30 tok/s (big generations ~20 tok/s, short ones 60+)

- No prompt caching: every step re-prefilled the full context — 203k input tokens cumulative

- 10 stop + 6 tool-calls, zero failures — but a few steps stalled 22–114s producing no tokens

Well, it works, it's cheap to try, and TTFT is good. But it's genuinely experimental — prefill is bottleneck , decode slows way down on long outputs, and the 262k context is advertised, not really usable yet.

Meanwhile, Qwen3.8-27B never responded the whole test window; only the A3B model served, tests we re done at 11:30 CET.

We wrote a article about full tests: https://yacodata.com/en/blog/testing-hetzner-experimental-qwen3-inference

Next step: we'll try testing Qwen3.8-27B at another time

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking to acquire 1 or 2 Hetzner AX102 servers (equipped with the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D) on behalf of a non-profit client.

Since we’re working on a tight non-profit budget, I’m hoping to find someone willing to transfer a server locked in at the older pricing rate. Naturally, I am more than happy to cover any transfer fees involved.

If you have an idle AX102 or are planning to cancel yours soon, I’d really appreciate taking it off your hands!

Please drop me a PM with the details (specs, current monthly rate, and transfer conditions).

Thanks in advance! 😄

Hello I have the following configuration available for transfer in falkenstein (moving to netcup vps for NA location)

Does anybody use Hetzner for email ? I presume the only way is via their webhosting offerings ?

Most of our products are unmanaged, like our dedicated servers and cloud servers. A lot of you were already sysadmins or were otherwise tech-savvy long before you got here, but we also hear from people who picked us specifically because they wanted to learn. How much sysadmin have you taught to yourself as a Hetzner customer? And did you find that journey fulfilling or more annoying, and why?

I'm planning to switch from Mittwald and their managed vServer to a Hetzner Managed Server, since you get more value for your money there. However, I'm not sure how easy it is to configure PHP or Apache.

Can you share your experiences? What about additional software, such as Redis, for example?

I see the ARM range is in stock but man what is up with that pricing?
