Hetzner Examples

Quick Start

1. Configure Environment Variables

Copy hetzner_env.sh and fill in your credentials:

export HETZNER_USER="your-robot-username"   # Hetzner Robot API username
export HETZNER_PASSWORD="your-password"     # Hetzner Robot API password
export HETZNER_SSHKEY_NAME="my-key"         # Name of SSH key registered in Hetzner

Each script has its own server name and whitelist ID defined at the top.

2. Run a Script

source hetzner_env.sh
./hetzner_kristof2.vsh

SSH Keys

The HETZNER_SSHKEY_NAME must be the name of an SSH key already registered in your Hetzner Robot account.

Available keys in our Hetzner account:

hossnys (RSA 2048)
Jan De Landtsheer (ED25519 256)
mahmoud (ED25519 256)
kristof (ED25519 256)
maxime (ED25519 256)

To add a new key, use key_create in your script or the Hetzner Robot web interface.

Alternative: Using hero_secrets

You can also use the shared secrets repository:

hero git pull https://git.threefold.info/despiegk/hero_secrets
source ~/code/git.ourworld.tf/despiegk/hero_secrets/mysecrets.sh

Troubleshooting

Get Robot API credentials

Get your login credentials from: https://robot.hetzner.com/preferences/index

Test API access

curl -u "your-username:your-password" https://robot-ws.your-server.de/server
