Authentication

The terraform provider needs a Hetzner token to authenticate. This can either be provided in the provider configuration in your main.tf file or via a Environment Variable with the name HROBOT_TOKEN.

The "Token" has the following structure: "username:password". To use the Token as an enviroment variable as in the example above you can export a variable: export HROBOT_TOKEN="username:password" in your terminal. To make it persitent on your system you can put the export command in your ~/.profile file.

Example Configuration

# Set the variable value in *.tfvars file
# or using the -var="hrobot_token=..." CLI option
variable "hrobot_token" {
  sensitive = true # Requires terraform >= 0.14
}

# Configure the Hetzner Hrobot Provider
provider "hrobot" {
  token = var.hrobot_token
}
