Summary

Perform a power or recovery action on a Contabo compute instance: start, stop, restart, shut down, enter rescue mode, or reset its password.

Inputs

  • Instance Name or ID (required) — Select the instance or provide its ID.
  • Action Name (required) — Choose Rescue, Reset Password, Restart, Shutdown, Start, or Stop.
  • Root Password / Secret ID — For Rescue or Reset Password, provide a plain-text root password or a Contabo Secret Manager password secret ID. A nonnumeric value is saved as a new password secret and its ID is used in the request.
  • SSH Key Secret IDs — For Rescue or Reset Password, optionally enter comma-separated Contabo Secret Manager SSH key secret IDs.
  • Custom Request ID — Optional UUIDv4 request identifier; a random one is generated when blank.

Output shape

One or more n8n items containing the API response data for each input item.

If the API returns an array, each element becomes a separate output item; otherwise the response data is returned as one item. If no response data is present, the operation returns {"success":true}. API errors stop execution unless Continue On Fail is enabled, in which case an item with an error field is returned.
