🥳 New module release: Hetzner Cloud OpenAPI Client
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/hetzner-cloud-openapi-client
This is an OpenAPI client for Node.js generated from the official Hetzner Cloud OpenAPI specification using Massimo.
Recently, while reviewing the code for Catalyst¹, I realised that the Hetzner library I was using was deprecated. The only other client library listed on Awesome Hetzner Cloud for JavaScript was updated seven years ago². So I did a bit of research and discovered that Hetzner has an official OpenAPI specification (useful little things that you can generate documentation as well as working client code from). I also discovered Massimo³, a lightweight and easy to use OpenAPI client generator.
So, anyway, a few minutes later, I had a working Node.js client generated but I thought I’d take a little more time to make it into a module in case anyone else wanted to use it.
In the process, I also created a simple web app example with Kitten⁴ where you can enter your Hetzner API key in a web interface, have it persisted to the default Kitten database⁴ and then carry out a simple call to list your servers. It’s 99 lines of code, including comments, in a single file. (Because Kitten loves you.)
The example uses the new/advanced class and event-based way of working with Kitten so you might find it interesting for that reason too (I haven’t had the chance to document this workflow properly yet). It also showcases Kitten’s Streaming HTML⁵ workflow, as well as its built-in support for semantic default styles and its first-class Markdown support.
You can see the source code for the Kitten example here:
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/hetzner-cloud-openapi-client/src/branch/main/example/index.page.js
The cool thing is that because the client is generated from the official Hetzner OpenAPI specification, it’s one command to update it should the specification change and you can be sure it matches exactly what’s in the API documentation.
Enjoy!
💕

#DigitalIndependenceday ist bei uns jeden Tag und meistens sehr unspektakulär.
In der letzten Woche haben wir zum Beispiel begonnen, Maileingangsserver mit neuen Antispamlösungen auszustatten. An den ersten Experimenten beteiligten sich Mitglieder mit Test-Domains. Mittlerweile läuft das schon ganz gut, sodass wir es in den nächsten Wochen für alle Mitglieder ausrollen wollen.
Gemeinsam genossenschaftliche Infrastruktur aufbauen. Das ist unser Erfolgsrezept.
Um 15.00 Uhr startet unser #digitalindependenceday

Interested in migrating away from big tech? :fediverse:
We can maintain your desired infrastructure on hosting of your choice as long as it meets our standards (Linux, Docker, stable networking etc).
We can even help you setup and manage your own on-premises servers for total data sovereignty.
All of the services we promote are open source and we absolutely hate lock in and drawbridging (paywalling features). All our infra is non provider specific so you can rest assured knowing that your infrastructure will last and can be maintained easily by others that aren't us.
:boost_ok:
There are some areas where open source struggles to keep up.
Collaborative document editing is a big one. We don't love a lot of the existing solutions (Collabora, OnlyOffice, Outline).
We are super excited by the emerging project of Docs: https://github.com/suitenumerique/docs
It has a public funding model which could be really interesting and a viable Google Docs competitor that's already been deployed at a reasonably large scale.
We look to seeing what other projects emerge.
What we are certain of however is that the eco system of libre software has enough tools to meet the needs of most organisations. There's a standard set of apps they come up again and again (feel free to share your experiences in the replies).
Single Sign On - Keycloak, Authentik (passkeys for passwordless login anyone)?
File storage - @nextcloud
Password management - Vaultwarden
Wiki - There's loads of options here
Email - We're currently reselling email from our co-op friends at Web Architects
Website - Wordpress, static site etc
Messaging - @matrix @RocketChat etc
Once you get this stack integrated, and your org trained, it's really powerful! It's also super resource efficient. You can run it on a single server (or spread it onto multiple small servers).
We hope that gives you an idea of what we can offer.
We will be honest and say that for a small to medium organisation, their are more up front costs to a more open infrastructure.
There's more upfront costs e.g. discovery, communications, quotes, setup. We're a small co-op so we don't have the same amount invested in automation as big tech.
However these costs balance out over the long term as you don't get locked into the tiers and paywalling of big providers where as soon as you hit a certain scale they tighten the screws and start trying to get real money out of you.
That's how big tech work, they set themselves up using loads of capital, hook in the small fishes for free or cheap to get market dominance then once folks are locked into their workflows, they go for the big clients.
Stop playing their game! There is a different way.
