As an aside, if you're using a Hetzner VPS for Umami you might be over-specced. I just cut my Hetzner bill by $4/mo by moving my Umami box to one of the free Oracle Cloud VPS after someone on here pointed out the option to me. Depends whether this is a hobby thing or something more serious, but that option is there.

I would pay $4/mo to stay as far away from Oracle as possible

All fine and well, but oracle will threaten to turn off your instance if you don’t maintain a reasonable average CPU usage on the free hosts, and will eventually do so abruptly.

This became enough of a hassle that I stopped using them.

I've got a whole Hetzner EX41 bare metal server, as opposed to a VPS. It's gotr like 20 services on it.

But yeah it is massively overspecced. Makes me feel cool load testing my go backend at 8000 requests per second though!

I pay for Hetzner because it’s an EU based, sane company without a power hungry CEO.

The manageability of having everything on one host is kind of nice at that scale, but yeah you can stack free tiers on various providers for less.
