This repository is the basis for the creation of the Hetzner Cloud API n8n community node available at https://www.npmjs.com/package/n8n-nodes-hetznercloud. This community node always contains the latest updates and fixes. Every change will also be merged into the main product n8n, but sometimes it takes time before the pull requests are accepted.
This node allows you to automate some tasks with the german infrastructure provider Hetzner. Imagine that you can automatically start or stop servers, create new or delete old snapshots or do other actions.
Currently, n8n is not shipped with this Hetzner Cloud API node. Therefore an installation of the community module is required.
- Open your n8n server.
- Go to Settings > Community Nodes.
- Select Install.
- Enter
n8n-nodes-hetznercloudin Enter npm package name. - Agree to the risks of using community nodes: select I understand the risks of installing unverified code from a public source.
- Select Install.
After installing the node, you can use it like any other node. n8n displays the node in search results in the Nodes panel.

Here is the summary:
- Install n8n globally on your PC with
npm install n8n -g - Clone or download this repository and save it anywhere
- In this downloaded folder run:
npm install
npm run build
npm link
- Now install this node in your local n8n instance
cd ~/.n8n/nodes
npm link n8n-nodes-hetznercloud
- Start the local development area. You need two consoles:
# in the node directory execute this, that after every change the dist directory is updated
npm run dev
n8n start
