Collaboration Tools

This app contains a collection of different collaboration tools. You can install them via the Hetzner Cloud Console or the Hetzner Cloud API.

The collaboration collection consists of Transfer, a file sharing service which can be used both via the web interface and via the command line, HedgeDoc which can be used as a Markdown editor for brainstorming by several people at the same time and Whiteboard to document ideas graphically.

Getting Started

Create your server as usual using the Hetzner Cloud Console. As an alternative to the operating system, you can choose an app that you would like to have pre-installed.

The collection is preinstalled on the server in the form of Docker images, but it is not activated.

To activate the collection, please login to your server:

By SSH key, if you provided one when you created your server.
By root password, which you received from us by email when you created your server, if no SSH key was provided.

This will take you through a process whereby you can then use any services from the web, with automatic Let's Encrypt support.

Hetzner Cloud API

Instead of the Hetzner Cloud Console, the Hetzner Cloud API can also be used to set up a server with all pre-installed collaboration tools.

For example via curl command from the command line

curl \
   -X POST \
   -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_TOKEN" \
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   -d '{"name": "my-server", "server_type": "cpx21", "image": "collab-tools"}' \
   'https://api.hetzner.cloud/v1/servers'

Or via hcloud-cli

hcloud server create --name my-server --type cpx21 --image collab-tools
