+title: Rancher Hetzner Cloud Quick Start Guide
+description: Read this step by step Rancher Hetzner Cloud guide to quickly deploy a Rancher server with a single-node downstream Kubernetes cluster attached.
+weight: 140
+---
+The following steps will quickly deploy a Rancher server on Hetzner Cloud in a single-node K3s Kubernetes cluster, with a single-node downstream Kubernetes cluster attached.
+
+>**Note:** The intent of these guides is to quickly launch a sandbox that you can use to evaluate Rancher. These guides are not intended for production environments. For comprehensive setup instructions, see [Installation]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/installation/).
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+>**Note**
+>Deploying to Hetzner Cloud will incur charges.
+
+- [Hetzner Cloud Account](https://www.hetzner.com): You will require an account on Hetzner as this is where the server and cluster will run.
+- [Hetzner API Access Key](https://docs.hetzner.cloud/#getting-started): Use these instructions to create a Hetzner Cloud API Key if you don't have one.
+- [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html): Used to provision the server and cluster to Hetzner.
+
+
+## Getting Started
+
+1. Clone [Rancher Quickstart](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) to a folder using `git clone https://github.com/rancher/quickstart`.
+
+2. Go into the Hetzner folder containing the terraform files by executing `cd quickstart/hcloud`.
+
+3. Rename the `terraform.tfvars.example` file to `terraform.tfvars`.
+
+4. Edit `terraform.tfvars` and customize the following variables:
+    - `hcloud_token` - Hetzner API access key
+    - `rancher_server_admin_password` - Admin password for created Rancher server
+
+5. **Optional:** Modify optional variables within `terraform.tfvars`.
+See the [Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart) and the [Hetzner Quickstart Readme](https://github.com/rancher/quickstart/tree/master/hcloud) for more information.
+Suggestions include:
+    - `prefix` - Prefix for all created resources
+    - `instance_type` - Instance type, minimum required is `cx21`
+    - `hcloud_location` - Hetzner Cloud location, choose the closest instead of the default (`fsn1`)
+
+6. Run `terraform init`.
+
+7. To initiate the creation of the environment, run `terraform apply --auto-approve`. Then wait for output similar to the following:
+
+    ```
+    Apply complete! Resources: 15 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
+
+    Outputs:
+
+    rancher_node_ip = xx.xx.xx.xx
+    rancher_server_url = https://rancher.xx.xx.xx.xx.sslip.io
+    workload_node_ip = yy.yy.yy.yy
+    ```
+
+8. Paste the `rancher_server_url` from the output above into the browser. Log in when prompted (default username is `admin`, use the password set in `rancher_server_admin_password`).
+9. ssh to the Rancher Server using the `id_rsa` key generated in `quickstart/hcloud`.
+
+#### Result
+
+Two Kubernetes clusters are deployed into your Hetzner account, one running Rancher Server and the other ready for experimentation deployments. Please note that while this setup is a great way to explore Rancher functionality, a production setup should follow our high availability setup guidelines. SSH keys for the VMs are auto-generated and stored in the module directory.
+
+### What's Next?
+
+Use Rancher to create a deployment. For more information, see [Creating Deployments]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/quick-start-guide/workload).
+
+## Destroying the Environment
+
+1. From the `quickstart/hcloud` folder, execute `terraform destroy --auto-approve`.
+
+2. Wait for confirmation that all resources have been destroyed.
