name: hetzner-infra description: Hetzner cloud infrastructure provisioning for Kubernetes. Use when provisioning servers, networks, load balancers, firewalls, DNS zones, or storage on Hetzner Cloud via hcloud CLI.

Cloud Infrastructure

Infrastructure patterns for Kubernetes clusters. Implementation via hcloud CLI. All scripts are idempotent.

Core Components

Server Type Selection

If a server type is unavailable in the preferred location, try other European locations:

Copy# Check availability across EU locations
for loc in fsn1 nbg1 hel1; do
  echo "=== $loc ===" && hcloud server-type list --selector location=$loc
done

EU locations: fsn1 (Falkenstein), nbg1 (Nuremberg), hel1 (Helsinki)

Quick Start

Copy# Install hcloud CLI
curl -sL https://github.com/hetznercloud/cli/releases/latest/download/hcloud-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
sudo mv hcloud /usr/local/bin/

# Set token
export HCLOUD_TOKEN="your-token"
