So, in the process of migrating my website from Vercel to Hetzner, I was able to do a pretty good write-up of what I did. If anyone wants to follow in my footsteps (or alternatively, point out all the things I've done wrong) , I think it's a decent guide!

Hetzner is known for being anti-LGBTQ and arbitrarily deleting accounts with stuff they don't like. Also not defending users from unreasonable takedown requests.
