We used hcloud-uploader before but the images get quite large (as they are the full disks) so a restore is quite slow.

What I got working recently is "dd-install" via rescue mode.

Allows me to install alpine/debian/nixos/... with a custom partition setup.

But it feels like an workaround. A proper API would be so much appreciated!

Oh, yes! Uploading machine images would also be on the top of our list. The hoops required atm are absurd.

Subdomain delegation they refuse to do due to security reason (quoting the support). I found someone that claims hosting the full zone and just use the subdomain records works. But I could not confirm that myself yet.
