Hetzner CloudInstall

Summary

Retries issuance of a failed managed certificate in Hetzner Cloud by POSTing to the certificate's retry action endpoint, and returns the resulting action object.

Inputs

• Certificate (required) — The certificate to retry, chosen from a searchable list of project certificates or entered by numeric ID. The ID is placed in the request path (/v1/certificates/{id}/actions/retry).
• Request Options — Optional node settings: batching (items per batch, default 50, and interval between batches, default 1000 ms), ignore SSL issues, HTTP proxy, and timeout (default 10000 ms).

Output shape

One item per input item, containing the Hetzner Cloud action object (the action property of the API response), such as its id, command, status, progress and resources.

The response is unwrapped from the action root property. The call only starts the retry. The action's status shows progress, and the operation does not wait for the certificate to be issued. The Hetzner API will likely reject the call if the certificate is not a managed certificate in a failed state, but the source does not validate this itself.

Examples

Example 1: Retry a managed certificate whose issuance failed after fixing DNS records.

Resource: Certificate; Operation: Retry; Certificate: From List, pick the failed managed certificate.

Example 2: Retry a certificate whose ID comes from an earlier node.

Certificate: By ID, with an expression such as {{ $json.id }}.
