I make things

rlucia··on Ask HN: My family business runs on a 1993-era text-based-UI (TUI). Anybody else?
Ah I am still running such a thing: a wonderful piece of software I wrote in the 90s w/ FoxBase.

But here’s the nice thing: I converted everything in a Flask app with React frontend.

The nicest thing is that besides using a modern relational DB, I write everything to keep old db files synced so that I can still run the old app in DosBox…and keep the new stuff in Docker.

It works, flawlessly:-)

That would be nice, and indeed moving out of Central Europe is not an option :-)
rlucia··on Hetzner Cloud servers are at capacity since 6 months
We tried to rescale one of our VM hosted by Hetzner Cloud server infrastructure.

Unluckily it seems we can't!!!

Incredibly it is taking more than 6 months to solve the problem: I understand that expanding a data centre and hardware supply might be hard, but hey!!!

Has anyone else run into this problem, any workaround besides moving off Hetzner (no, please)?
