Hetzner Cloud Server Migration

This script handles all required commands to migrate a hcloud server to a new server type.

Features

• Run all required API commands with one shell command
• checks the server status for every migration step
• workflow is optimized to be used with automations, eg. crontab.
• Text-output for logging and debugging keeps track of progress and server status

Important notes

• migration is only possible when the server is not running, so this script will shut down your server!
• the migration will keep the inital storage size! This is required to easily downgrade a server.
• the script requries the 'jq' command.

Usage

1. Clone this repo

2. Copy the sample file to a .sh-file

   eg. cp migrate.sh.sample migrate.sh

3. Enter required data

   • server-id
   • migration target (eg. "cx21")
   • API key

4. If not already done, install jq

   apt-get install jq

5. Run your script or add it to your automation tool
