Add `hdd` and `ssd` required/forbid/optional (None) parameter about hetznerbot HOT 5 OPEN

Servers have no unique name and most properties are already covered by some parameter.
This service is designed to show you a range of products, I'm not exactly sure why you would need a search field?

Could you explain your use-case?

from hetznerbot.

I usually put the phrase "SSD" in it because it shows me all types of servers with an SSD and HDD.

If i use the other parameter in the search some servers are always excluded.

Like this search here, it shows every server with an 2TB HDD + any variations of ssd's.

The thing is, that the search parameter is a generic search across all fields, that's implemented client side in hetzners bot.

Meaning, we would have to implement that search in this project as well, which is quite a lot of work and goes against the current approach of doing things, as you could no longer just query for matching offers by SQL.

My proposal would rather be, to add an ssd_required flag.

Yeah if this is possible why not. I just want to get the same offers as from the shared link. 😁

Thinking about it, I would prefer a hdd and an ssd configs, which can have either of the states "None|require|forbid".
That would allow us to explicitly search for various combinations.

Feel free to start working on this. I would definitely accept this feature, if it would look like that :)

I won't build this myself, as I currently don't have the need for this.
