Consider merging hcloud-upload-image in this tool #825

TL;DR

Hey folks,

For Fedora CoreOS, we are looking at using https://github.com/apricote/hcloud-upload-image to document how to setup Fedora CoreOS on Hetzner Cloud.

https://github.com/apricote/hcloud-upload-image is currently marked as not officially supported by Hetzner / not an official Hetzner Cloud product.

We would appreciate if you could consider making it an official tool or merging it in this tool.

That would increase our (and our user's) confidence in this process and thus let us display Hetzner as a supported platform for Fedora CoreOS.

Thanks!

Expected behavior

https://github.com/apricote/hcloud-upload-image becomes an official tool in some form.

I'd like to add that as an alternative, the possibility to directly upload snapshot images via the API would be much appreciated. apricote/hcloud-upload-image is a workaround after all.

Technically this is not an issue, I did a very quick port last week after the point was made in your docs PR.

I am not sure yet if we want to officially support this, as the risk with leftover paid servers is there. Also if an official API is added we would immediately deprecate/remove the workaround.

I have asked the team responsible for Servers and Images for their opinion on this and also added votes to the "Upload Image API" card in our internal feedback tracker.
