Create A Hetzner Cloud API Token
For this guide we assume that you don't have any Hetzner Cloud account yet. So we will start with creating an account first. If you already have one you can skip this step and continue with creating a project.
Create Hetzner Cloud Account
Before continuing make sure you have access to a valid email account.
Start by navigating to the following URL: https://console.hetzner.cloud/
You will encounter a login form. Click the "Register Now" button at the bottom of the page.
Enter your email address and desired password into the form then accept the terms and conditions after you've read them and click the "Continue" button.
After a few seconds you should receive an email with an activation link. Click it and you will be asked to provide some more contact information.
As a last step you need to choose your payment method. Please note that you will only be billed once you actually create some resources within your Hetzner Cloud account.
Create Project
After login you start at your project overview.
Projects organize related Hetzner Cloud resources into separate namespaces. It is strongly recommended to use separate projects when creating multiple unrelated platforms.
Using a separate project for testing purposes makes it pretty easy to clean up everything after you're done. Just delete the project and all resources within will be removed.
Click the "New Project" tile, enter a name for the project (e.g. "ibc-test") and confirm. Clicking on the newly created project tile will then select the project.
Create API Token
After selecting the desired project navigate to the entry "Security" in the left sidebar.
On the main screen click on the "API Tokens" tab.
Click on the "Generate API Token" button. In the form that opens up enter a descriptive name for the token (e.g. "ibc-access") and select "Read & Write" permissions.
After clicking "Generate API Token" yet again you will be presented with your one and only chance to copy the full API token. Do that and use it to provision INFINITY Business Cloud Platforms to your hearts content.
This generated API token grants full read and write access to all resources within the project. Therefore it is a highly sensitive credential and should be treated as such. INFINITY Business Cloud takes appropriate measures to keep it as safe as possible.
If you suspect an API token to have been compromised delete it from the project to avoid any illegitimate access.
