Ikoula API Dedicated ServerInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Ikoula Dedicated Server API to manage various server-related operations, including remote access control. Specifically, the Renew Access operation under the Remote Access Control resource allows users to renew an existing remote access session for a dedicated server identified by its IP address.

Typical use cases include:

• Extending the duration of remote access permissions on a dedicated server without needing to request new access.
• Automating renewal of remote access in workflows that require continuous or repeated administrative access to servers.
• Integrating server management tasks where remote access sessions need to be programmatically maintained.

For example, a user might automate renewing remote access before running maintenance scripts on a server to ensure uninterrupted connectivity.

Properties

Output

The node outputs the API response in the selected format (json or xml) inside the json field of the output data. When JSON is selected, the response is parsed into an object; when XML is selected, the raw XML string is provided under the data property.

The output contains details about the renewed remote access session, such as confirmation of renewal status or any relevant metadata returned by the Ikoula API.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires valid credentials for the Ikoula API, including email, password, and optionally a custom API URL.
• The password is encrypted using RSA public key encryption before sending requests.
• The node makes HTTP requests to the Ikoula API endpoint (default: https://api.ikoula.com).
• Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for authentication.

Troubleshooting

• No credentials provided!
  This error occurs if the node cannot find the required API credentials. Ensure that the Ikoula API credentials are correctly set up in n8n.

• Invalid Server IP
  If the server IP is incorrect or not reachable, the API may return errors or fail to renew access. Verify the server IP address is correct.

• API Response Errors
  The API may return errors due to expired credentials, insufficient permissions, or invalid parameters. Check the API response message for details.

• Response Format Issues
  Selecting XML format returns raw XML strings which may require additional parsing downstream. Use JSON format for easier handling in workflows.
