A CLI/TUI to find the best Hetzner Server Auction deals.

Ships with the PassMark CPU benchmark database built-in so you can instantly comapre servers by value per euro - CPU score/€, RAM/€, and storage/€.

Hetzner auction data is fetched live. Prices are inclusive of VAT. VAT calculation can be disabled by pressing v and the rate can be configured by pressing t.

Demo

hzfind demo

Installation

# From source
cargo install --git https://github.com/clouedoc/hzfind

Requires Rust 2024 edition (1.85+).

Usage

hzfind            # launches the interactive TUI (default)
hzfind explore    # same thing

hzfind list                      # list all servers as JSON
hzfind list --sort cpu --top 10  # sort by best CPU value, show top 10
hzfind list --sort storage       # sort by storage value
hzfind list --sort ram           # sort by RAM value

hzfind list-stats                # aggregated stats about current auction data

How it works

  1. Fetches the live Hetzner Server Auction feed (live_data_sb_EUR.json)
  2. Matches each server's CPU against the bundled PassMark database
  3. Computes per-euro metrics: CPU score/€, RAM GB/€, Storage GB/€
  4. In the TUI, optionally compares each server against a CCX33 cloud baseline (€62.99/mo) to show relative value
