# Hetzner Cloud CLI (`hcloud`) Official CLI from Hetzner. Mature, well-documented, full feature parity with the Hetzner Cloud Console + API. Replaces the abandoned community MCP (1 GitHub star, 1 fork) which had a non-trivial security surface. ## Setup ```bash # Already in setup/Brewfile: brew install hcloud # also: brew tap hetznercloud/hcloud (legacy) # Verify hcloud version ``` ### Configure context (one-time) ```bash # Generate API token at: https://console.hetzner.com/projects/<id>/security/tokens # Scope: read-only by default; write only when actively provisioning hcloud context create walter-vm # ↳ pastes token interactively # Switch contexts (if multiple Hetzner projects) hcloud context list hcloud context use walter-vm ``` `HCLOUD_TOKEN` env var also works. Walter-OS keeps it in `~/.config/walter-os/secrets.env`. **For day-to-day reads, use a read-only token. Only switch to write-scoped token when actively provisioning, then revoke.** ## Core operations ### Servers (VMs) ```bash hcloud server list # all VMs in current context hcloud server describe walter-vm # full details of one VM # Create hcloud server create \ --name walter-vm \ --type cpx41 \ --image ubuntu-24.04 \ --location fsn1 \ --ssh-key ${WALTER_SSH_KEY_NAME} \ --start-after-create # Resize (briefly stops the VM) hcloud server change-type walter-vm cpx51 # Power hcloud server poweroff walter-vm hcloud server poweron walter-vm hcloud server reboot walter-
