  vars:
    hetzner_webservice_username: "your_hetzner_webservice_user"

    hetzner_hostname: "hostname.example.com"

  tasks:
  - import_role:
      name: provision-hetzner

Example autosetup file

The following autosetup file will be used by default. Modify roles/provision-hetzner/templates/autosetup or create your own and set {{ hetzner_autosetup_file }}. Further details regarding the file can be found at Hetzner in the wiki.

IMAGE {{ hetzner_image }}

Hetzner offers a collection of images which can be set via {{ hetzner_image }}. Examples include:

archlinux-latest-64-minimal.tar.gz
CentOS-610-64-minimal.tar.gz
CentOS-75-64-minimal.tar.gz
CoreOS-1298-64-production.bin.bz2

Ubuntu-1604-xenial-64-minimal.tar.gz
Ubuntu-1710-artful-64-minimal.tar.gz

You can alos build a custom image and host it on a public webserver. In that case {{ hetzner_image }} needs to point to that location.
