Deploy Olympus on a Hostinger VPS
Hostinger is supported by Daedalus as a lower-cost alternative to DigitalOcean. VPS plans start at €4-5/month, making it the cheapest legitimate self-hosting path for Olympus.
What Daedalus does
In the Provider, Hostinger wizard step:
- Reads your Hostinger API key.
- Creates a VPS (plan and region you select).
- Configures the firewall: 22 (SSH from your IP), 80, 443 open; everything else closed.
- Generates and uploads an SSH keypair.
- Installs Podman +
podman-composevia cloud-init. - Records the VPS IP, SSH key, and identifiers in
daedalus.json.
What you need
- A Hostinger account with VPS access.
- A Hostinger API key, generate from the hPanel under "API Management."
Recommended plan
| Plan | RAM | vCPU | Storage | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KVM 1 | 4GB | 1 | 50GB NVMe | ~€5 |
| KVM 2 | 8GB | 2 | 100GB NVMe | ~€7 |
| KVM 4 | 16GB | 4 | 200GB NVMe | ~€14 |
KVM 1 is enough for a personal deployment with managed Postgres. KVM 2 is the recommended starting point for a small production.
Caveats
- Hostinger's API is less mature than DigitalOcean's. Some operations (resize, attach storage) require dashboard interaction.
- Hostinger does not offer a Reserved IP equivalent, if you need to swap VPSes, you'll see DNS propagation delay.
- Region selection is more limited than DigitalOcean.
For a price-sensitive personal deployment, Hostinger is fine. For a serious production with growth expectations, prefer DigitalOcean for the operational maturity.
