Hetzner Server

connorads/dotfiles

Streamlines Hetzner Cloud server provisioning with the hcloud CLI. Includes pre-configured firewall profiles (Tailscale-only, Tailscale plus SSH, Tailscale plus web), cloud-init examples for dotfiles and swap setup, and an SSH config generator that creates both standard and agent-forwarding entries for each server. The ARM server recommendations are solid, the IPv6-only cost saving tip is practical, and the post-creation host key cleanup prevents the usual SSH fingerprint headaches when Hetzner recycles IPs. Assumes you're running a specific dotfiles setup and SSH key naming scheme, but the examples are clear enough to adapt if your workflow differs.

Hetzner Server Management

Create and manage Hetzner Cloud servers using the hcloud CLI.

Prerequisites

  • hcloud CLI installed (via mise: hcloud = "latest")
  • Authenticated: hcloud context create <name> with API token from https://console.hetzner.cloud

Cloud Firewalls

Reusable firewall profiles applied at server creation. Firewalls can be swapped on running servers - use apply-to-resource / remove-from-resource.

FirewallRulesUse case
ts-sshUDP 41641 (Tailscale) + TCP 22 (SSH)Dev boxes - initial setup, swap to ts-only after restricting UFW to Tailscale
ts-onlyUDP 41641 (Tailscale)Tailscale-only access, no public ports
ts-webUDP 41641 (Tailscale) + TCP 80,443 (HTTP/S)Servers accepting public web traffic

Swapping firewalls on a running server

hcloud firewall remove-from-resource ts-ssh --type server --server dev
hcloud firewall apply-to-resource ts-only --type server --server dev
