Connect Hetzner

Connect your Hetzner account to InfraNest so you can manage your cloud servers, DNS and SSL certificates in one place, without switching tools.

Overview

• Once connected, your Hetzner servers, DNS zones and certificates appear automatically in InfraNest.
• You can control servers, edit DNS records and manage certificates without leaving InfraNest.
• One connection covers all of these features, so there's no need to set each one up separately.

Before you start

You'll need a Hetzner API token with Read & Write access. See Create a Hetzner API token for the steps.

NoteThe same token covers both your Hetzner cloud resources and your Hetzner DNS zones.

Connect Hetzner

1. Go to Integrations and open Hetzner.
2. Give the connection an Account label so you can recognise it later. This is optional.
3. Choose which features to use it for: Cloud, DNS and Certificates.
4. Paste your API token.
5. Leave Email me when this integration has problems ticked if you'd like a heads-up by email if something goes wrong.
6. Select Connect.

InfraNest checks the token and starts bringing in your servers and zones straight away.

What you get once it's connected

• Cloud servers — see and manage your servers: power on/off, reboot, rebuild, snapshots and backups, firewalls, volumes, private networks and load balancers.
• DNS — view and edit your DNS zones and records, and create or delete zones.
• SSL certificates — your Hetzner certificates appear in your certificate list.

Tips

• You can connect more than one Hetzner project — just add another connection.

NoteHetzner doesn't sell domains, so there's no domain-registration feature here.

Troubleshooting

1. "Authentication failed" — the token may be wrong or removed. Generate a new Read & Write token in the Hetzner Cloud Console and reconnect.
2. Nothing appears after connecting — make sure the token has Read & Write access (read-only can't manage resources), then run the sync again from the Hetzner page under Integrations.
