I will do cron job web scraper and automation on hetzner server


About this gig
Need a task to run automatically every hour, every day, or every week without you lifting a finger? I build cron jobs, web scrapers, and automation scripts that run 24/7 on your own server.
What I build for you:
- Cron jobs scheduled tasks that run automatically. Data backups, report generation, email sending, database cleanup, API syncing on any schedule you need.
- Web scrapers extract data from any website automatically. Product prices, job listings, news articles, competitor data. Delivered as CSV, JSON, or straight to your database.
- Automation scripts connect your tools together. When X happens, do Y. CRM updates, inventory sync, notification systems, data pipelines.
- Server deployment everything deployed on YOUR Hetzner, DigitalOcean, or VPS server. Docker containerized. Runs 24/7. Survives reboots.
Tech I use:
Nextjs, Node.js, Python, Puppeteer, Selenium, Playwright, Cheerio, cURL, Docker, PM2, systemd, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis. Deployed on Hetzner, or any Linux VPS.
I also set up self-hosted tools:
- Nextcloud your own private cloud storage (replace Google Drive)
- n8n workflow automation (replace Zapier)
- Uptime Kuma monitor your websites and APIs
- Any Docker-based tool

FAQ
What is a cron job and do I need one?
A cron job is a scheduled task that runs automatically on your server — every minute, every hour, every day, or any custom schedule. If you need something to happen automatically without you doing it manually (backups, sending emails, syncing data, generating reports), you need a cron job.
What kind of websites can you scrape?
I can scrape most websites, product listings, job boards, news sites, directories, social media profiles, and more. I use Puppeteer and Playwright for JavaScript-heavy sites and Cheerio for simple HTML pages. Data is delivered as CSV, JSON, or directly to your database.
Why Hetzner instead of AWS or other hosting?
Hetzner gives you dedicated server resources at a fraction of AWS pricing. A Hetzner VPS that costs €4-10/month would cost $30-50 on AWS. For cron jobs and scrapers that run 24/7, Hetzner is the smart choice. I also deploy on DigitalOcean, Contabo, or any Linux VPS you have.
Will my scraper or cron job keep running after you deliver?
Yes. Everything is deployed with Docker and configured to auto-restart on server reboot. I set up PM2 or systemd process managers to keep your scripts alive 24/7. You also get full documentation so you can manage it yourself.
Can you set up self-hosted tools like Nextcloud or n8n?
Yes. I install and configure self-hosted tools on your Hetzner or VPS with Docker. Nextcloud (private cloud storage), n8n (workflow automation), Uptime Kuma (monitoring), and any other Docker-based tool. SSL, domain, and backups all included.
