This is not a support platform. If you have issues with anything other than the apps (e.g. cloud instance, your cloud init, firewalls), please open up a support ticket as usual.
Our apps provide you easy access to often used software such as Docker, Wordpress or Nextcloud with the same intuitive workflow as you already know it from the Hetzner Cloud Server deployment.
We welcome your suggestions and comments about improving our apps and do our best to address every feedback, bug report and small fixes. Please note, however, that we cannot accept large refactors or suggestions for new apps as of now. But we will let you know when this changes.
We use a combination of Packer and cloud-init to build a static image with all the required software in our cloud, create a snapshot, store it and if this image later will be deployed to your cloud instance, we will generate dynamic information like passwords on demand directly on your server.
This results in as much transparency to the actual content as possible and allows you to reproduce what ends up in the app you deploy to your server by looking at the files in this repository.
We do not build the apps on Github anymore but on our internal CI. This repo contains a mirror of the used packer templates and metadata and a script to build a snapshot yourself.
The officially by Hetzner maintained apps live under apps/hetzner and might use some generic scripts from apps/shared.
Each app will have both a README.md and a README.de.md file which will give you a short overview about the implementation of the software in our apps.
This will include what we have installed in this image, where you can find passwords if we have generated any and what you might need to configure by yourself.
These files will also be used to provide the documentation on https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/apps.
This file will contain some metadata which we use while displaying the app to you via our Cloud Console or public API.
You can build a snapshot yourself either for testing or to use as your personal app-template via
$ export HCLOUD_TOKEN=[...]
$ ./build.sh
Usage: ./build.sh <app> <arch>
* app: subfolder in apps/hetzner/
* arch: either amd64 or arm64
