Server → Enable Rescue

AI-generated

Summary

Enable rescue mode on a selected Hetzner Cloud server by sending a POST request to its rescue action endpoint. The rescue system defaults to Linux 64-Bit; optional SSH key IDs are converted from a comma-separated list to numeric IDs and added to the request.

Inputs

  • Server (required) — Select a server from the list or enter its ID.
  • Rescue Type — Rescue system to boot into; Linux 64-Bit is the available option and the default.
  • SSH Key IDs — Optional comma-separated SSH key IDs to add to the rescue system. Entries that do not convert to numbers are omitted.
  • Request Options — Optional HTTP settings for batching, accepting invalid SSL certificates, using a proxy, or setting the response-header timeout.

Output shape

A single API response object.

The operation sends the response through without unwrapping a property. The operation metadata says enabling rescue returns a root password; the precise response fields are not defined here.
