Hetzner Cloud Docker machine driver

Go Report Card License Go-CI

This library adds the support for creating Docker machines hosted on the Hetzner Cloud.

You need to create a project-specific access token under Access > API Tokens in the project control panel and pass that to docker-machine create with the --hetzner-api-token option.

Installation

You can find sources and pre-compiled binaries here.

# Download the binary (this example downloads the binary for linux amd64)
$ wget https://github.com/JonasProgrammer/docker-machine-driver-hetzner/releases/download/5.0.0/docker-machine-driver-hetzner_5.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf docker-machine-driver-hetzner_5.0.0_linux_amd64.tar.gz

# Make it executable and copy the binary in a directory accessible with your $PATH
$ chmod +x docker-machine-driver-hetzner
$ cp docker-machine-driver-hetzner /usr/local/bin/

Usage

$ docker-machine create \
  --driver hetzner \
  --hetzner-api-token=QJhoRT38JfAUO037PWJ5Zt9iAABIxdxdh4gPqNkUGKIrUMd6I3cPIsfKozI513sy \
  some-machine

Using environment variables

$ HETZNER_API_TOKEN=QJhoRT38JfAUO037PWJ5Zt9iAABIxdxdh4gPqNkUGKIrUMd6I3cPIsfKozI513sy \
  && HETZNER_IMAGE=centos-7 \
  && docker-machine create \
     --driver hetzner \
     some-machine

Dealing with kernels without aufs

If you use an image without aufs, like the one currently supplied with the debian-9 image, you can try specifying another storage driver, such as overlay2. Like so:

$ docker-machine create \
  --engine-storage-driver overlay2 \
  --driver hetzner \
  --hetzner-image debian-9 \
  --hetzner-api-token=QJhoRT38JfAUO037PWJ5Zt9iAABIxdxdh4gPqNkUGKIrUMd6I3cPIsfKozI513sy \
  some-machine

Using Cloud-init

$ CLOUD_INIT_USER_DATA=`cat <<EOF
#cloud-config
write_files:
  - path: /test.txt
    content: |
      Here is a line.
      Another line is here.
EOF
`

$ docker-machine create \
  --driver hetzner \
  --hetzner-api-token=QJhoRT38JfAUO037PWJ5Zt9iAABIxdxdh4gPqNkUGKIrUMd6I3cPIsfKozI513sy \
  --hetzner-user-data="${CLOUD_INIT_USER_DATA}" \
  some-machine

Using a snapshot

Assuming your snapshot ID is 424242:

$ docker-machine create \
  --driver hetzner \
  --hetzner-api-token=QJhoRT38JfAUO037PWJ5Zt9iAABIxdxdh4gPqNkUGKIrUMd6I3cPIsfKozI513sy \
  --hetzner-image-id=424242 \
  some-machine

Options

  • --hetzner-api-token: required. Your project-specific access token for the Hetzner Cloud API.
  • --hetzner-image: The name (or ID) of the Hetzner Cloud image to use, see Images API for how to get a list (currently defaults to ubuntu-20.04). Explicitly specifying an image is strongly recommended and will be required from v6 onwards.
  • --hetzner-image-arch: The architecture to use during image lookup, inferred from the server type if not explicitly given.
  • --hetzner-image-id: The id of the Hetzner cloud image (or snapshot) to use, see Images API for how to get a list (mutually excludes --hetzner-image).
  • --hetzner-server-type: The type of the Hetzner Cloud server, see Server Types API for how to get a list (defaults to cx11).
  • --hetzner-server-location: The location to create the server in, see Locations API for how to get a list.
  • --hetzner-existing-key-path: Use an existing (local) SSH key instead of generating a new keypair. If a remote key with a matching fingerprint exists, it will be used as if specified using --hetzner-existing-key-id, rather than uploading a new key.
  • --hetzner-existing-key-id: requires --hetzner-existing-key-path. Use an existing (remote) SSH key instead of uploading the imported key pair, see SSH Keys API for how to get a list
  • --hetzner-additional-key: Upload an additional public key associated with the server, or associate an existing one with the same fingerprint. Can be specified multiple times.
  • --hetzner-user-data: Cloud-init based data, passed inline as-is.
  • --hetzner-user-data-file: Cloud-init based data, read from passed file.
  • --hetzner-user-data-from-file: DEPRECATED, use --hetzner-user-data-file. Read --hetzner-user-data as file name and use contents as user-data.
  • --hetzner-volumes: Volume IDs or names which should be attached to the server
  • --hetzner-networks: Network IDs or names which should be attached to the server private network interface
  • --hetzner-use-private-network: Use private network
  • --hetzner-firewalls: Firewall IDs or names which should be applied on the server
  • --hetzner-server-label: key=value pairs of additional metadata to assign to the server.
  • --hetzner-key-label: key=value pairs of additional metadata to assign to SSH key (only applies if newly created).
  • --hetzner-placement-group: Add to a placement group by name or ID; a spread-group will be created on demand if it does not exist
  • --hetzner-auto-spread: Add to a docker-machine provided spread group (mutually exclusive with --hetzner-placement-group)
  • --hetzner-ssh-user: Change the default SSH-User
  • --hetzner-ssh-port: Change the default SSH-Port
  • --hetzner-primary-ipv4/6: Sets an existing primary IP (v4 or v6 respectively) for the server, as documented in Networking
  • --hetzner-wait-on-error: Amount of seconds to wait on server creation failure (0/no wait by default)
  • --hetzner-wait-on-polling: Amount of seconds to wait between requests when waiting for some state to change. (Default: 1 second)
  • --hetzner-wait-for-running-timeout: Max amount of seconds to wait until a machine is running. (Default: 0/no timeout)

Please beware, that for options referring to entities by name, such as server locations and types, the names used by the API may differ from the ones shown in the server creation UI. If server creation fails due to a failure to resolve such issues, try another variant of the name (e.g. lowercase, kebab-case). As of writing, server types use lowercase (i.e. cx21 instead of CX21) and locations use a three-letter abbreviation suffixed by 1 (i.e. fsn1 instead of Falkenstein).

Image selection

When --hetzner-image-id is passed, it will be used for lookup by ID as-is. No additional validation is performed, and it is mutually exclusive with other --hetzner-image*-flags.

When --hetzner-image is passed, lookup will happen either by name or by ID as per Hetzner-supplied logic. The lookup mechanism will filter by image architecture, which is usually inferred from the server type. One may explicitly specify it using --hetzner-image-arch in which case the user supplied value will take precedence.

While there is currently a default image as fallback, this behaviour will be removed in a future version. Explicitly specifying an operating system image is strongly recommended for new deployments, and will be mandatory in upcoming versions.

Existing SSH keys

When you specify the --hetzner-existing-key-path option, the driver will attempt to copy (specified file name) and (specified file name).pub to the machine's store path. They public key file's permissions will be set according to your current umask and the private key file will have 600 permissions.

When you additionally specify the --hetzner-existing-key-id option, the driver will not create an SSH key using the API but rather try to use the existing public key corresponding to the given id. Please note that during machine creation, the driver will attempt to get the key and compare it's fingerprint to the local public key's fingerprtint. Keep in mind that the both the local and the remote key must be accessible and have matching fingerprints, otherwise the machine will fail it's pre-creation checks.

Also note that the driver will attempt to delete the linked key during machine removal, unless --hetzner-existing-key-id was used during creation.

Networking

Given --hetzner-primary-ipv4 or --hetzner-primary-ipv6, the driver attempts to set up machine creation with an existing primary IP as follows: If the passed argument parses to a valid IP address, the primary IP is resolved via address. Otherwise, it is resolved in the default Hetzner Cloud API way (i.e. via ID and name as a fallback).

No address family validation is performed, so when specifying an IP address it is the user's responsibility to pass the appropriate type. This also applies to any given preconditions regarding the state of the address being attached.

If no existing primary IPs are specified and public address creation is not disabled for a given address family, a new primary IP will be auto-generated by default. Primary IPs created in that fashion will exhibit whatever default behavior Hetzner assigns them at the given time, so users should take care what retention flags etc. are being set.

When disabling all public IPs, --hetzner-use-private-network must be given. --hetzner-disable-public will take care of that, and behaves as if --hetzner-disable-public-ipv4 --hetzner-disable-public-ipv6 --hetzner-use-private-network were given. Using --hetzner-use-private-network implicitly or explicitly requires at least one --hetzner-network to be given.

Building from source

Use an up-to-date version of Go to use Go Modules.

To use the driver, you can download the sources and build it locally:

# Enable Go Modules if you are not outside of your $GOPATH
$ export GO111MODULE=on

# Get sources and build the binary at ~/go/bin/docker-machine-driver-hetzner
$ go get github.com/jonasprogrammer/docker-machine-driver-hetzner

# Make the binary accessible to docker-machine
$ export GOPATH=$(go env GOPATH)
$ export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
$ export PATH="$PATH:$GOBIN"
$ cd $GOPATH/src/jonasprogrammer/docker-machine-driver-hetzner
$ go build -o docker-machine-driver-hetzner
$ cp docker-machine-driver-hetzner /usr/local/bin/docker-machine-driver-hetzner

Development

Fork this repository, yielding github.com/<yourAccount>/docker-machine-driver-hetzner.

# Get the sources of your fork and build it locally
$ go get github.com/<yourAccount>/docker-machine-driver-hetzner

# * This integrates your fork into the $GOPATH (typically pointing at ~/go)
# * Your sources are at $GOPATH/src/github.com/<yourAccount>/docker-machine-driver-hetzner
# * That folder is a local Git repository. You can pull, commit and push from there.
# * The binary will typically be at $GOPATH/bin/docker-machine-driver-hetzner
# * In the source directory $GOPATH/src/github.com/<yourAccount>/docker-machine-driver-hetzner
#   you may use go get to re-build the binary.
# * Note: when you build the driver from different repositories, e.g. from your fork
#   as well as github.com/jonasprogrammer/docker-machine-driver-hetzner,
#   the binary files generated by these builds are all called the same
#   and will hence override each other.

# Make the binary accessible to docker-machine
$ export GOPATH=$(go env GOPATH)
$ export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
$ export PATH="$PATH:$GOBIN"

# Make docker-machine output help including hetzner-specific options
$ docker-machine create --driver hetzner

Upcoming breaking changes

4.0.0

  • check log output for BREAKING-V6 (previously BREAKING-V5)
  • --hetzner-user-data-from-file will be fully deprecated and its flag description will only read 'DEPRECATED, legacy'; current fallback behaviour will be retained. --hetzner-flag-user-data-file should be used instead.
  • --hetzner-disable-public-4/--hetzner-disable-public-6 will be fully deprecated and its flag description will only read 'DEPRECATED, legacy'; current fallback behaviour will be retained. --hetzner-disable-public-ipv4/--hetzner-disable-public-ipv6 should be used instead.

5.0.0

  • major update due to #108 (hetznercloud/hcloud-go#263)
  • new hcloud-go v2 requiring int64 IDs is used for interaction with Hetzner cloud
  • old configs should be forward-compatible
  • newly created machines may now use 64-bit integers in all stored and transmitted data, potentially breaking existing tools supporting 32-bit only
    • this includes anything interacting with the flags CLI via RPC, as mcnflags lacks an int64 flag type, so StringFlag and parsing are used now
  • previous changes were moved one version (i.e. 5 -> 6, 6 -> 7)

6.0.0

  • moved from 5.0.0
  • --hetzner-user-data-from-file will be removed entirely, including its fallback behavior
  • --hetzner-disable-public-4/--hetzner-disable-public-6 ill be removed entirely, including their fallback behavior
  • not specifying --hetzner-image will generate a warning stating 'use of default image is DEPRECATED'

7.0.0

  • moved from 6.0.0
  • specifying --hetzner-image will be mandatory, and a default image will no longer be provided
