Quickly upload any raw disk images into your Hetzner Cloud projects

Quickly upload any raw disk images into your Hetzner Cloud projects! The Hetzner Cloud API does not support uploading disk images directly, and it only provides a limited set of default images. The only option for custom disk images that users have is by taking a "snapshot" of an existing servers root disk. These can then be used to create new servers. To create a completely custom disk image, users have to follow these steps: * Create server with the correct server type * Enable rescue system for the server * Boot the server * Download the disk image from within the rescue system * Write disk image to servers root disk * Shut down the server * Take a snapshot of the servers root disk * Delete the server This is an annoyingly long process. Many users have automated this with Packer & packer-plugin-hcloud before, but Packer offers a lot of additional complexity to wrap your head around. This repository provides a simple CLI tool & Go library to do the above.
