hzfind – compare Hetzner Server Auction machines

hzfind is a terminal utility for comparing Hetzner Server Auction machines by value rather than just headline specifications.

It fetches live auction data, correlates servers with a bundled PassMark CPU benchmark database, and lets you review the results either in an interactive text user interface or as structured JSON output suitable for scripts and further analysis.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Interactive TUI for browsing Hetzner Server Auction deals from the terminal.
• Built-in PassMark CPU benchmark database for calculating CPU score per euro.
• Ranks servers by CPU value, RAM value, or storage value.
• Supports quick searching, sortable views, and per-server detail screens.
• Can toggle VAT calculations and set a custom VAT rate.
• Provides a list command that outputs computed server data as JSON.
• Provides a list-stats command with aggregated auction and CPU match statistics.
• Includes Hetzner Cloud baseline data so auction servers can be compared against cloud offerings.
