Deploy Hetzner Dedicated machines with a single command

Getting Started with Hetzner Dedicated

This setup was tested using AX51-NVMe, but any machine with two SSDs should work.

It will set up a machine using raid1 and ext4 for the root filesystem.

Rebooting the machine into rescue mode

1. Login to Hetzner Robot
2. Make sure to put your SSH key into https://robot.hetzner.com/key/index
3. Select the server you'd like to deploy
4. Click Rescue -> Make sure you have linux selected and your SSH key -> Click Activate
5. Click Reset -> Select Execute an automatic hardware reset -> Click Send

Retrieving Cachix Deploy Agent token

1. https://app.cachix.org/deploy
2. Select the account/organization in the menu
3. Create a new workspace
4. Click "Add an agent"
5. Pick a description and generate a token
6. Save the token as CACHIX_AGENT_TOKEN=xxx to cachix-agent.token

Bootstrapping the machine

From the email your received when the Hetzner machine was processed, take IP and replace it in yourip:

$ nix develop
$ cachix-deploy-bootstrap-hetzner yourip myagent ./cachix-agent.token

Once the script finishes, your machine should come up in a few minutes.

In case anything goes wrong, you can order a remote console via Support tab in Hetzner.
