HORNET Terraform for Hetzner

This is a simple manifest to help deploy multiple VPS on Hetzner and provision HORNET automatically.

Requirements

• Hetzner Account
• Generate an API key via the access menu tab (key icon)
• Make sure you have added your public SSH key in Hetzner's GUI
• Install terraform 0.12 from here

Installing Terraform

Depending on your OS, choose the right version on terraform's download page

Here's an example installing terraform 0.12.26 on Linux:

$ cd /tmp
$ wget https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.12.26/terraform_0.12.26_linux_amd64.zip
$ unzip terraform_0.12.26_linux_amd64.zip
$ sudo install -m 755 terraform /usr/local/bin/terraform
$ terraform version
Terraform v0.12.26

Clone this Repository

git clone https://github.com/nuriel77/hornet-terraform.git && cd hornet-terraform

Usage

API Key

Export your Hetzner API key via:

export TF_VAR_hcloud_token="your_token_here"

Init Terraform Modules

Clone this repository and run:

terrafom init

Variables Configuration

Configure some variables in variables.tf, most importantly the name of the SSH key vps_ssh_key and optionally the vps_type.

Variables can be configured via environment variables. For example, to set the number of VPSs to deploy:

export TF_VAR_vps_count=3

This will override the default value in variables.tf.

Provisioning Script

A simple provisioning script is provided provision.sh. You can modify it to fit your needs.

This script will be automatically executed on the VPSs once they start up.

Terraform will attempt to SSH into the VPSs using the SSH key loaded into your ssh-agent. Make sure it is available in your ssh-agent (ssh-add -L)

Apply

Simply run:

terraform apply

Scale Up/Down

Just set a new number of desired VPS:

export TF_VAR_vps_count=10

And run terraform apply to submit. New instances will be added or removed to match the new number.

Destroy

Run:

terraform destroy
