How it works

Configure

Write your cluster.lok8s.yaml and opt into read-only dashboard visibility.

spec:
  kubehz:
    hosting: self
    access: registered

Provision

Run a single command or push to GitHub. Your cluster runs on your Hetzner account.

Three paths, one platform

Self-hosted

Run everything yourself on your own Hetzner account. kubehz gives you a read-only dashboard (outbound-only, no token). Free, available today.

Hosted control plane

kubehz runs etcd, apiserver, scheduler; you run only workers on your Hetzner account. From €0.016/h per control plane, at most €11.68 a month, available today. Free until 1 November 2026.

Hosted setup →

Spaces

kubehz runs one control plane shared between customers; you register your own machines as nodes into your slice of it. The cheapest shape, because the expensive part is shared.

Your data stays yours

For self-hosted clusters, only the data the feature you turned on needs ever leaves your cluster: read-only health when you register, and nothing else. No telemetry, no analytics, no workloads, no secrets. The in-cluster agent is outbound-only: kubehz never connects into your cluster and holds no inbound credentials to it. Read-only visibility needs no Hetzner token. See the trust model →

Built on open source

lok8s is the open-source CLI that powers kubehz. It integrates with Cluster API, KubeOne, and Hetzner Cloud to provision and manage Kubernetes clusters. kubehz adds an opt-in platform layer on top: today a read-only dashboard for self-hosted clusters, a managed tier (Supporter subscriptions and up) with healing policies, capacity watches, and desired-state management, and a fully hosted control plane.

You can use lok8s without kubehz. You are never locked in.
