Vagrant Hetznercloud Provider

This is a Vagrant plugin that adds a Hetznercloud provider to Vagrant, allowing Vagrant to control and provision machines in Hetznercloud.

NOTE: This is currently a MVP Prototyp (and my first vagrant plugin). Probably the interface will change. Development is tracked at Trello

Features

  • Boot Hetznercloud servers (supports types, user_data and ssh_keys)
  • SSH into the servers.
  • Provision the servers with any built-in Vagrant provisioner.
  • Minimal synced folder support via rsync.

Missing Features:

  • cli "command" support for listing server types, prieces, datacenters, locations ... everything
  • proper cli "command" support with multi machine vagrantfiles
  • probably a lot :)

Prerequisites

Prior to using this plugin, you will first need to create an API token and identify your organization ID. Please see the following help pages for instructions.

Installation

Install using standard Vagrant plugin installation methods.

$ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hetznercloud

Note: As this plugin is not yet released you have to:

  • checkout the code
  • run $rake build
  • vagrant install pkd/plugin.gem
  • vagrant box add --name base hetznercloud.box

Usage

  1. Generate Token in the Web GUI of Hetznercloud

Create new API token in the Hetznercloud Console.

  1. Optional: Install the hcloud cli

If you install the Hetzner cli and configure it with credentials, the vagrant-hetznercloud driver automatically picks up your default context from the ~/.config/hcloud/cli.toml settings file. Therefor you do not need to set the credentials in the environment or in the Vagrantfile.

  1. Create Vagrantfile

See examples/Vagrantfile for an example Vagrantfile:

  1. Start your machines

And then run vagrant up and specify the hetznercloud provider:

2.1) With hcloud cli installed and configured

$ vagrant up --provider=hetznercloud

2.1) With Token via environment

$ export HETZNERCLOUD_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
$ vagrant up --provider=hetznercloud

2.2) With Token in Vagrantfile

See examples/Vagrantfile.

Note: This is not recommended, as this tends to leak credentials in SCM

Configurations

FIXME: Write proper documentation

Development

To work on the vagrant-hetznercloud plugin, clone this repository out, and use Bundler to get the dependencies:

$ bundle

If those pass, you're ready to start developing the plugin. You can test the plugin without installing it into your Vagrant environment by just creating a Vagrantfile in the top level of this directory (it is gitignored) that uses it, and uses bundler to execute Vagrant:

$ bundle exec vagrant up --provider=scaleway

For Debugging you can run:

$ LANG=C VAGRANT_LOG=debug VAGRANT_DEFAULT_PROVIDER=hetznercloud VAGRANT_HOME=~/.vagrant.develop.d bundle exec -- vagrant up

Development is tracked at Trello
