== Creating a Virtual Server (VM) on Hetzner == | |||
=== Step 1: Generate an RSA Key Pair === | |||
First, you need to create an RSA key pair to have a public key for your server. | |||
>> ssh-keygen -t rsa | |||
=== Step 2: Create an account on Hetzner to get access to their development cloud === | |||
=== Step 3: Set Up a Virtual Server on Hetzner === | |||
Ensure you have access to create a virtual server on Hetzner. Follow the instructions in this article to create a cloud server on the Hetzner Cloud Console: Creating a Server on Hetzner. | |||
=== Step 4: Configure Your Server === | |||
You will likely need both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for your VM, so make sure to configure both. | |||
Choose the latest version of Debian as your operating system and complete the configuration based on your needs. Name the server properly using the format <your-name server>.dev.delftsolutions.nl, replacing <your-name> with your actual name server. | |||
Once configured, purchase your virtual server. This will take you to the new virtual server page, where you can see both your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. | |||
=== Step 5: Update DNS Repository === | |||
Add your IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to the DNS-basic repository and create a merge request. | |||
For the IPv6 make sure “/64” at the end is replaced by 1 just like other IPv6s in the script. And try to make the format like the other lines. | |||
Make sure | |||
=== Step 6: Generate a Fingerprint === | |||
Your VM will generate a fingerprint to recognize you. This fingerprint acts as a unique identifier for the server and is stored locally. | |||
Use the following command to add the fingerprint to the DNS system: | |||
>> ssh-keyscan -D <your-virtual-server-IPv4> | |||
This command will generate a fingerprint that you need to add to the DNS-basic repository (make sure to remove any lines starting with a semicolon and replace the first IP to your name, again just like the other lines in there). | |||
=== Step 7: Test Your Virtual Server === | |||
To ensure your virtual server is working correctly, use these commands: | |||
>> dig @ns1.delftsolutions.nl. | |||
>> dig <your-name-server> @ns1.delftsolutions.nl. | |||
>> dig <your-name-server> | |||
These commands will verify if your name server is functioning properly and if you have access to ns1.delftsolutions.nl. But these commands are fun to do, they are not necessary :) | |||
=== Step 8: SSH into Your Virtual Server === | |||
Once everything is verified and functioning correctly, you can SSH into your virtual server using the following command: | |||
>> ssh root@<your-name-server> | |||
Replace <your-name-server> with the actual name of your server, using root before your name server means you want to be root to make changes in your virtual server. | |||
When it is your first time to get access to your virtual server it will ask you “Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])?” and when you say yes, you will be permanently added to the host, and you need to enter the passphrase of your RSA key pair. | |||
Then boom, you have your virtual server :) | |||
