[Hetzner Server]: HCloud + ArchLinux

Other OS
,
#1

My Hetzner Server Setup:

Hardware:
HCloud CX11

OS and Services / Applications:
ArchLinux (with LTS Kernel, Pamac for AURs
like timeshift & timeshift-autosnap)

Docker + NextCloud as Docker Container

#2

What do you use the server for and how did you set it up?

#3

The cx11 instance only offers ubuntu, fedora, debian and centos.

How did you manage to get Arch installed?

I am currently using a linode nano instance because they had an Arch image to load from.

#4

Usage

Simple for File Storing and sharing with friends :wink:

Basic Arch Linux install

Have set it up with the Rescue Linux > issue installimage selected Arch Linux (inside the Rescue System it is available to install)
I leaved the config as it is only changed the Hostname.

Installation is automatically reboot.

Arch Linux boots;

Setup and Security config:

Setup a user with non sudo rights
Change password
change port for ssh installed firewall
and last step removed stable kernel install lts.

And the application the I have wrote before Docker + Next Cloud as a Docker Container

#5

But Manjaro would be nicer on this :wink: :smiley: in case of stability

#6

A Syslog Server will be also added

#7

I had to test it - it is a little cheaper than a linode so.

It is easy to install Arch - there is no manjaro images but it is extremely easy to convert a barebone Arch to Manjaro.

I just couldn't get it to boot.

I think I stay with the Linode instance for now. A Linode instance can be in a EU datacenter. The instance I use is in a German datacenter.

When you have created the server instance

  • select the server
  • then select ISO IMAGES
  • select latest Arch iso and click MOUNT
  • power the server down (upper right - ignore warning on dataloss)
  • power on the server
  • click the CLI icon (upper right next to POWER)
  • partition
  • mount
  • pacstrap
  • chroot
  • configure
  • reboot
  • secure ssh
  • install firewall
  • configure firewall
  • install webserver

Finally - I got it booting - had to dust off the bios boot grub install.

Now my mirror server is acting up - busy day :slight_smile:
