Hetzner vServer Local nvme Drive

[marcnnn]

Hello,

I have not found if the local NVMe of the Hetzner Server is only used for the OS or if there is an option to use local NVMe
for the Database as well?

Since based on this Post
https://planetscale.com/blog/planetscale-metal-theres-no-replacement-for-displacement#why-network-attached-storage-isnt-ideal-for-databases

It would make a big difference?

I am just curious, I don't need very high performance currently...

Hi 👋

To use local NVMe storage, rent a dedicated physical server at Hetzner instead of a cloud VM, which relies on network-attached volumes. Then use the “Your Own Machines” mode in the Autobase UI (or the CLI) to deploy your PostgreSQL cluster directly on that machine.

I mean using the Local NVMe drives of the Cloud server.

I know they are not big with max:
CCX63: 960 GB NVME

But is there on option to use that instead of a separate Volume?

"Servers with local storage keep all data on a local RAID10 on the host system. This provides fault-tolerance in case of hardware defects. They are optimized for high I/O performance and low latency and are especially suited for applications which require fast access to disks with low latency, such as databases."

In this case, the command line installation mode may be suitable for you. Specify the path where to store the data using the postgresql_data_dir variable.

Through the UI, this feature will appear in Expert Mode.
