How I Replaced Acquia (€134/month) with a €10 Hetzner VPS — and Beat It on Every Feature..Physics teacher by day. Infrastructure builder by night. Created Actools — enterprise Drupal on a €10 server. Interested in self-hosted systems, education technology, and making expensive software unnecessary.

"Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Actools after years of paying managed Drupal hosting bills that kept growing while my control kept shrinking.
One bash script. One config file. Full enterprise Drupal stack — XeLaTeX PDF generation, S3 storage, preview environments, Grafana monitoring, automated backups — all on a €10/month Hetzner VPS.
The honest part: you are the support team. But the health checks, self-healing containers, and observability stack make 3am events rare.
Happy to answer any questions about the stack or the build. AMA."
