Are there any folks here who have set up hosting for Pangolin in the EU and if so; what hosting options have you chosen? Are there any good free tier options?
I’m also keen on finding a platform which supports terraforming the setup for the VPS, firewall etc.

I’m not using Pangolin, but a 1€/month VPS from IONOS serves as my nebula lighthouse.
How do you handle certificate renewals?
Ha, that’s a good question: I don’t. I chose a rather long time for the certs validity and then promised to myself that I will extend my ansible playbook when I need to.
OVH is not free, but very cheap
I don’t know of any free tiers in the EU, however, very cheap options do exist. Not in the EU, but one of my VPS runs $25 USD a year. It’s a pretty capable little server, and at $25 USD, it’s about as close to free as you going to get. Take a look at
https://lowendbox.com/. You might find something poking around there.Not free, but if you can find them, https://www.scaleway.com/en/stardust-instances/ are pretty cost effective.
I created an account on Scaleway just to check prices, which seem to be the same as Hetzner. But looking around online I find that people are heavily in favor of Hetzner over Scaleway due to reliability and service, so I’m leaning more toward Hetzner.
Fair enough, I also recommend finding hetzner’s referral links to get some free credit initially when u sign up.
