Hetzner Cloud Infrastructure Manager FAQs

Question 1

Does this skill support automated environment setup for other tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it outputs critical server metadata like IP addresses and architecture types to a local .env file, allowing subsequent Claude Code skills to connect and configure the server without manual data entry.

Question 2

Can I deploy ARM64 servers in the United States with this skill?

Accepted Answer

Currently, Hetzner ARM64 (CAX) instances are only available in European locations (Nuremberg, Falkenstein, and Helsinki). For US-based hosting in Ashburn or Hillsboro, this skill will automatically recommend x86 server types.

Accepted Answer

You need a Hetzner Cloud account, a Read/Write API token, the hcloud CLI installed, and an SSH key pair configured locally and uploaded to your Hetzner project.

Question 4

How does this skill handle security?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes an automated firewall creation step that restricts access to necessary ports (SSH, HTTP/S) and specific application ports for tools like Coolify or Kasm, ensuring your server isn't wide open to the internet.
