I will set up your hetzner vps with docker, nginx and SSL

Hetzner is the best-value VPS for European developers fast, cheap, and reliable. But getting a Python backend running correctly on a raw Ubuntu server takes real configuration knowledge.

I set up Hetzner servers for Python backends every week. Here is exactly what I deliver:

Server hardening:

• Non-root user with SSH key authentication
• UFW firewall (only necessary ports open)
• Fail2ban for brute-force protection

App deployment:

• Docker + Docker Compose installed and configured
• Your Python app (FastAPI / Django / Flask) containerized and running
• Nginx as reverse proxy with correct configuration
• SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt (auto-renewing)
• Custom domain connected

Database (Standard/Premium):

PostgreSQL running in Docker

Connected to your app with correct environment variables

CI/CD (Premium):

GitHub Actions workflow for auto-deploy on every push to main

Works with any Hetzner plan (CX11 and above). I can also apply this setup to DigitalOcean, Vultr, or Linode if you prefer.
