Introduction
You can configure Hetzner Robot manually via the browser, or automatically via the Webservice interface.
Programming languages
Modules for common script languages and programminglanguages are available for communicating with Robot.
PHP
On Hetzner Robot API docs, we provide a simple PHP script.
Perl
Stefan Tomanek created the Perl module Hetzner::Robot, which provides a object-oriented interface for the Webservice. Right now, all exported Robot operations are supported:
- Server reset
- Reverse DNS management
- Rescue-System
- Wake-On-LAN
- VNC/Windows/Plesk installation
- Failover-Net control
The package provides the Perl classes you can use in your own scripts, alongside the finished program hetzner-robot.pl, which you can use to give direct orders to Robot:
- Server reset
- Show/set/delete Reverse DNS entries
- RDNS batch configuration
- Rerouting a failover address
- Activating the Rescue-System
- Triggering the WOL signal
