Docker Hub's Pro Tier Jumped 80%, Team 67%: The Break-Even Math for Running Your Own Registry

Docker Hub's Pro and Team subscriptions jumped 80% and 67% in a repricing still in effect today. A line-by-line recompute of what that costs a 5- and 20-person team against running Harbor on a single owned Hetzner box, including the operational costs a "just self-host it" pitch usually skips.

Doppler Finally Ships On-Prem — It's Still Not Infisical: What Self-Hosting Secrets Actually Costs

Doppler shipped an on-prem deployment option in June 2026, but it's Enterprise-only and closed-source. Infisical's MIT core stays free to self-host — until you price out RBAC, SSO, and per-identity billing against Doppler's per-seat model.

Dremio's MCP Server Doesn't Give AI Agents a Separate Policy — Here's the Kubernetes Version for a Self-Hosted PaaS's Deploy Tools

Dremio's MCP Server Doesn't Give AI Agents a Separate Policy — Here's the Kubernetes Version for a Self-Hosted PaaS's Deploy Tools

Dremio's lakehouse MCP server enforces the same row/column policies for an AI agent as for the human who's logged in — no separate agent policy to write or drift out of sync. Here's the exact Kubernetes primitives (TokenRequest, RBAC impersonation, audit logging) that build the same guarantee into a self-hosted PaaS's deploy and rollback tools.

The 11,000-Hour Myth: E2B's Real Self-Hosted Break-Even on a Hetzner Cluster-API Fleet

The 11,000-Hour Myth: E2B's Real Self-Hosted Break-Even on a Hetzner Cluster-API Fleet

The widely-cited 11,000-sandbox-hour break-even for self-hosting E2B-style sandboxes turns out to compare an H100 GPU bill against a CPU-only rate. Here's the real number, recomputed against Hetzner Cluster-API pricing.

EKS 1.33 Loses Standard Support July 29, 2026: What the 6x Extended-Support Markup Really Costs

Amazon EKS quietly enrolls aging Kubernetes 1.33 clusters into extended support at 6x the hourly rate on July 29, 2026 — here's what that markup costs in dollars, and what it actually costs to own the upgrade cadence with Cluster API instead.

Fly.io Kills GPU Hosting on August 1, 2026: Where the Workloads Go, and What It Actually Costs

Fly.io's GPU Machines go dark for good on August 1, 2026. Here's the real migration math — rental marketplaces vs owned Hetzner hardware — and why the shutdown is really a lesson about whose roadmap your infrastructure lives on.

Why Forgejo, Not Gitea, Is 2026's Default Self-Hosted Git Pick

Why Forgejo, Not Gitea, Is 2026's Default Self-Hosted Git Pick

In October 2022, Gitea's domain and trademark moved to a for-profit company without a community vote. Four years and one GPL license split later, most 2026 self-hosting guides default to the fork that split off, not the original. Here's the governance timeline, the honest feature tradeoffs, and what it means for a git-push PaaS picking a source-of-truth.

GitHub Codespaces at $0.36/Core-Hour: What a 5-Dev Team's Quarterly Bill Really Looks Like Against Owning the Box

A worked quarterly cost comparison of GitHub Codespaces against a self-hosted Coder/Hetzner devcontainer stack for a 5-developer team — including the ops-labor line most comparisons leave out.

Haloy Cuts the Registry Out of the Deploy Path Entirely — Here's What That Actually Buys You

Haloy Cuts the Registry Out of the Deploy Path Entirely — Here's What That Actually Buys You

Haloy builds your Docker image locally, uploads only the changed layers straight to your server, and skips Docker Hub or GHCR entirely — here's exactly how that differs from Kamal and Dokku's registry-dependent deploy paths, and what it does and doesn't change for a Kubernetes-based fleet.
