Never had problems with Hetzner 🤔

Glad you found a good VPS 👍

IONOS or Netcup or Hetzner

All of them are from germany, but provide various server locations

I use Netcup for cheap and powerful VPS (the ARM servers are awesome) and Hetzner for a dedicated server.

I rent the ARM VPS in Nürnberg, cheap and high performance. I don’t have any issues. Last time I had issues was with Contabo VPS. My main server is a dedicated one at Hetzner. Can recommend this one too.

A few people I know are using IONOS or Netcup for webhosting. They offer a lot more than just webhosting, if anyone needs a VPS, go for Netcup.

Maybe you can checkout European alternatives too to find what you are looking for 😊

No, because MONITOR_ONLY is for all

It is very easy. Here is my compose:

services:
  watchtower:
    image: containrrr/watchtower
    container_name: watchtower
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    command: --interval 10800
    logging:
      driver: local
    environment:
          WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATION_URL: gotify://
          WATCHTOWER_NOTIFICATIONS_HOSTNAME: Fancy name
          WATCHTOWER_MONITOR_ONLY: true
          WATCHTOWER_WARN_ON_HEAD_FAILURE: never

Every 3 hours it will check for updates, send a message via Gotify and pull the new images. It will not restart the containers with the new images.

I only let me notify about updates. I don’t want autoupdates, because some projects may have breaking changes (looking at you Immich 😁)

I get a message from watchtower over Gotify and then I can read the changelog

I like Zoraxy it has a lot of features, like Zerotier integration, status monitoring etc and a clean UI

Runs fine for my needs and fully replaced NPM for me 😊

You can run it in docker or as a single binary directly

Cheap but powerful VPS? NetCup ARM-Server or normal x86 VPS. Both are good
