Set up a single VPS in Hetzner Cloud

This terraform script sets up a single VPS in Hetzner Cloud ready to be used with Kamal.

Why a single VPS?

I love the Django, SQLite, and Redis combo. So I like setting up a single VPS where I can have everything I need.

How to use it

  1. Generate two SSH keys, one for the root user and one for the kamal user using make generate-ssh-key USER_NAME=root and make generate-ssh-key USER_NAME=kamal
  2. Generate a new API key in Hetzner Cloud and save it in a secure place
  3. Create a file terraform.tfvars at the root of the repository with your Hetzner API key and SSH keys, it will look like this: 
    hetzner_api_key = "your-api-key"
ssh_vps_root_key = "<your-ssh-root-public-key>"
ssh_vps_kamal_key = "<your-ssh-kamal-public-key>"
  4. Run terraform init to initialize the terraform environment
  5. Run terraform plan to see the changes that will be applied
  6. Run terraform apply to apply the changes
