bflesch on HNI can't find this Spanish (?) company in the company register and there are none of the legally required information on the website. Not very trustworthy for a SaaS that stores…

From 1 comment
The pricing is misleading. You say on the landing page that the free plan is €0 per month, but in reality you still have to pay for the control plane nodes. The cheapest control…

Support for Hetzner bare metal servers

This is a great idea. I really like it! We considered reaching out in May, but held back because we want to run on bare metal. Any chance to get this provisioned on bare metal at…
physix on HNI have yet to see a guide to automate k8s on Hetzner's beefy bare metal instances. True, you want cattle, but being able to include some bare metal instance with amazing CPUs and…

Providers beyond Hetzner
From 1 comment
Any plans to expand further than Hetzner? They're pretty restrictive on certain usages(e.g VPNs), I'd be really interested in support for Datapacket for example.

Difference from kops, Syself and existing Hetzner Kubernetes tools

How storage is handled for persistent volumes
From 1 comment
Site doesn't answer how storage is 'solved'. Is this solution uses local folder provisioning when using PostgreSQL for example.
