Ikoula API Dedicated ServerInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Ikoula Dedicated Server API to manage server reset operations among other server management tasks. Specifically, for the Reset resource and the Request Reset operation, it allows users to request a reset (RAZ) of a dedicated server identified by its IP address.

Typical use cases include:

• Automating server reset requests as part of maintenance workflows.
• Integrating server reset capabilities into broader infrastructure automation pipelines.
• Quickly triggering resets remotely without manual intervention on the server.

For example, a user can configure this node to request a reset on a specific server IP, which is useful when a server becomes unresponsive or requires a reboot to apply updates.

Properties

Output

The node outputs the API response in the selected format (json or xml) under the json field of the output item. If the response is JSON, it is parsed into an object; if XML, it is returned as a string within the data property.

Example JSON output structure (simplified):

{
  "json": {
    // API response data about the reset request
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

• Requires valid credentials for the Ikoula API, including email, password, and optionally a custom API URL.
• Uses RSA public key encryption to encrypt the password before sending.
• Makes HTTP requests to the Ikoula API endpoint.
• The node expects the API credentials to be configured securely in n8n.

Troubleshooting

• No credentials provided!
  This error occurs if the node is executed without proper Ikoula API credentials configured. Ensure that the API authentication details are set up correctly in n8n.

• Invalid Server IP or missing required parameters
  Make sure the Server IP property is correctly set and corresponds to a valid dedicated server managed by Ikoula.

• API errors related to reset requests
  These may occur if the server does not support reset operations at the moment or if there are permission issues. Check the API response message for details.

• Network or connectivity issues
  Verify that the n8n instance has network access to the Ikoula API endpoint.
