Hetzner Nuke

Hetzner nuke is a tool to delete all resources in a Hetzner account, similar to aws-nuke.

Use Cases

  • Clean up accounts provisioned from CI/CD systems after build failures
  • Ensure clean accounts for testing bootstrap capability of IaC code
  • Save costs by cleaning development accounts overnight
Warning

Be aware that hetzner-nuke is a very destructive tool, hence you have to be very careful while using it. Otherwise, you might delete production data.

Usage

Hetzner-nuke is available as a docker image and only needs a Hetzner Cloud API token, that can be provided as argument --hetzner-token or environment variable HCLOUD_TOKEN.

simulate will output all resources that will be deleted in nukemode.

docker run -e HCLOUD_TOKEN="${HCLOUD_TOKEN}" ghcr.io/pellepelster/solidblocks-hetzner-nuke:v0.1.21 simulate
