Germany VPS Hosting — Common Questions

How do I connect VS Code to Developer VPS Germany?

1. Install the Remote-SSH extension in VS Code. 2. Press F1 → Remote-SSH: Add New SSH Host → enter ssh root@YOUR_IP. 3. Press F1 → Remote-SSH: Connect to Host → select your Frankfurt VPS. VS Code installs its server component automatically and opens a full IDE connected to your remote server — extensions, IntelliSense, terminal, and file explorer all work as if the files were local.

Can I run Docker Compose on Developer VPS Germany?

Yes. apt install docker.io && apt install docker-compose, then docker-compose up -d from any directory with a docker-compose.yml. No special configuration needed. Full KVM means Docker has its own kernel — overlayfs, cgroups, and namespaces all work correctly. K3s (lightweight Kubernetes) also installs with a single command for more complex orchestration needs.

How should I set up CI/CD with Developer VPS Germany?

GitHub Actions: add a self-hosted runner on your VPS (Settings → Actions → Runners → New self-hosted runner). GitLab CI: install gitlab-runner on your VPS and register it. For simpler deployments, set up a bare Git repository on the VPS with a post-receive hook that runs your deploy script on git push. All three approaches work natively on our Linux KVM VPS.

Is a $3/month developer VPS enough for real projects?

The BLITZ plan (1GB DDR5, 1 vCore Ryzen 9950x, 15GB NVMe) runs: a WireGuard VPN, a Caddy or Nginx web server, a Node.js or Python API, a small SQLite or PostgreSQL database, and a monitoring dashboard — simultaneously, with careful configuration. For a single-service development environment or personal project, BLITZ is more than sufficient. For teams or multi-service staging environments, KRAFT ($7/mo, 2GB) is recommended.
