Use when putting a containerized service on Hetzner Cloud with OpenTofu — a VM per environment, Cloud Firewall, private network, hardened cloud-init, Docker Compose with Traefik TLS, deploys by image digest, backups with a restore drill.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Deploy to Hetzner
One VM per environment, hardened by cloud-init, serving a Compose stack behind Traefik. The image, the compose files and the deploy script all ship through the same reviewed pipeline. Contract: [environments.md](../_shared/environments.md), [deploy-script.md](../_shared/deploy-script.md).
## 1. Audit current state (change nothing)
```bash
cat .claude/stack-profile.md 2>/dev/null # hosting, iac, database.host, ci
ls infra/modules/hetzner-host infra/modules/host-bootstrap deploy/ compose*.y*ml 2>/dev/null
ls deploy/stack deploy/host deploy/envs 2>/dev/null
hcloud context list 2>/dev/null # context names only, never token values
[[ -n "${HCLOUD_TOKEN:-}" ]] && echo "HCLOUD_TOKEN set" || echo "HCLOUD_TOKEN unset"
tofu version 2>&1 | head -1
```
Read from the profile: `hosting` (must list `hetzner`), `iac` (opentofu), `database.host`, `ci`. If there is no profile, detect from the `infra/` and `deploy/` trees above. Never ask what the profile already answers.
## 2. Decide
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add velimirmueller/lab-claude-skills/deploy-to-hetzner@sha256:65ce73800ef674c7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.ecf444d, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
