Manage Hetzner from InfraNest
Run Hetzner servers, DNS and certificates from one place
Connect a Hetzner project and stop treating the Hetzner Cloud Console as the only place to get work done.
- Cloud servers: power servers on and off, reboot, rebuild, and manage snapshots, backups, firewalls, volumes, private networks and load balancers from InfraNest.
- DNS records: view, create, edit and delete zones and records, for any domain regardless of where it's registered — existing zones are found and brought in automatically when you connect.
- Accurate changes: every record has its own identity at Hetzner, so an edit changes exactly the one you meant, and a change made outside InfraNest still shows up correctly here.
- Certificates: your Hetzner certificates appear in your certificate list, so you can watch expiry without a separate check.
- Multiple projects: connect more than one Hetzner project if you run several.
NoteInfraNest can't register domains through Hetzner — that still happens at your registrar.
What you can do
- Full server, volume, firewall, network and load balancer control
- DNS zone discovery and record-level accuracy
- Certificate expiry tracking
- Multiple Hetzner projects, one view
Not supported
InfraNest can't register domains through Hetzner — you'll still do that at your registrar.
How to connect it
- 1
Create a Hetzner API token
In your Hetzner Cloud project, go to Security → API Tokens and generate a token with Read & Write access. The same token covers both cloud resources and DNS.
- 2
Open Hetzner in InfraNest
Go to Integrations and open Hetzner. Add an optional Account label to recognise the connection later.
- 3
Choose what to manage
Select which features to use it for: Cloud, DNS and Certificates.
- 4
Paste your token and connect
Paste the API token, leave Email me when this integration has problems ticked if you want alerts, then select Connect. InfraNest checks the token and starts bringing in your servers and zones.
What syncs
| Cloud resources | Servers, volumes, firewalls, networks and load balancers |
| DNS zones | DNS zones and records |
| Certificates | Certificates and their expiry |
Questions
#What happens if the token is revoked or expires?
InfraNest will show an authentication failure and stop being able to manage or sync that project. You'll need to generate a new Read & Write token in the Hetzner Cloud Console and reconnect.
#Can InfraNest change things on the Hetzner side, or is it read-only?
With a Read & Write token, InfraNest can create, edit and delete DNS records and zones, and manage servers, volumes, firewalls, networks and load balancers — these changes are sent to Hetzner directly. A read-only token will show your resources but can't manage them.
#Can InfraNest stop someone from deleting a server by mistake?
Yes. InfraNest can lock servers, volumes, firewalls, networks and load balancers against deletion, and that lock is enforced wherever a delete is attempted — the console, the API, a bulk action or an automation. It can't block a deletion made directly in Hetzner's own dashboard unless Hetzner's own lock is set at the same time.
#Does this cover domain registration too?
No. InfraNest manages DNS zones and records through Hetzner, but it doesn't register domains — that still happens at your registrar.
#I run more than one Hetzner project. Can I connect both?
Yes, you can add more than one Hetzner connection and manage each project's servers, DNS and certificates separately within InfraNest.
