What’s New in Trellis CLI: December 2025

Trellis CLI v1.16.0

• Logs command: add VM support — Automatic support for trellis logs development with dev virtual machines (Lima)
• Add --skip-tags support to provision — Works the same as tags but for skipping tags

Trellis CLI v1.17.0

• Add server commands with extensible provider support
  • Adds Provider and DNSProvider interfaces for cloud operations
  • Implements DigitalOcean provider using the new abstraction
  • Adds trellis server create command to replace trellis droplet create
  • Adds trellis server dns command to replace trellis droplet dns
  • Marks existing droplet commands as deprecated
  • Updates default image to Ubuntu 24.04
  • Adds server.provider config option in trellis.cli.yml
• Add Hetzner Cloud as a server provider — Extends the trellis server commands and server provider abstraction to support Hetzner Cloud. Since the provider is now pluggable, the server commands using the Hetzner provider function the same as with DigitalOcean.

Hetzner is worth a try for pricing alone and Trellis makes migrating very easy.

• DigitalOcean: 2 vCPU + 4GB RAM + 4TB transer => $24/month
• Hetzner: 2 vCPU + 4GB RAM + 20TB transer => $7/month
