Install on Hetzner

Last updated: 2026-07-16

Hetzner Cloud doesn't have a Dromlik marketplace image, so the install is scripted: create a Ubuntu server, then run the Dromlik install script over the Hetzner console.

Before you begin

  • A Hetzner Cloud account.
  • An estimate of your extension count and concurrent calls (see Server requirements).

Step 1 — Create a project and server

  1. 1

    Sign in to Hetzner Cloud Console

    Open the Hetzner Cloud Console and sign in.

  2. 2

    Create a project

    Under the Projects tab click New project, give it a name, and click Add project.

  3. 3

    Add a server

    Inside the project click CREATE SERVER.

Step 2 — Configure the server

  1. 1

    Choose the location

    Pick the region closest to your users and trunk provider.

  2. 2

    Choose the OS image

    Select Ubuntu 24.04 (or 20.04 if required).

  3. 3

    Choose the CPU type and size

    Pick Shared vCPU or Dedicated vCPU based on your needs.

    Then size the server:

    1–20 EXT (1–5 CC)21–50 EXT (6–13 CC)51–250 EXT (14–63 CC)251–500 EXT (64–125 CC)501–1000 EXT (126–250 CC)>1000 EXT

    Memory2 GB4 GB4 GB8 GB16 GB
    Storage (recording off)40 GB+40 GB+50 GB+100 GB+200 GB+
  4. 4

    Enable public networking

    In the Networking section enable both Public IPv4 and Public IPv6.

  5. 5

    Name and create the server

    Give the server a name and click Create & Buy now. Hetzner emails you the credentials — note the username root and the initial password.

Step 3 — Install the PBX over the console

  1. 1

    Open the console

    Click the created server, then click the console button in the top-right corner. A console window opens.

  2. 2

    Sign in and change the password

    Enter the root username and the initial password from the email. You'll be prompted to set a new password on first sign-in.

  3. 3

    Run the install commands

    Paste the commands one at a time. Double-check the pasted text — the Hetzner web console can alter formatting.

    wget https://install.dromlik.com/hetzner-install.sh
    chmod +x hetzner-install.sh
    ./hetzner-install.sh
  4. 4

    Wait for the install to finish

    The installer downloads and configures the PBX. When you see the IPPBX login prompt, the install is done. Note the IPv4 address shown at the bottom of the console window.

Result

Open https://<public-ip>:8088 in a browser to reach the Dromlik installation wizard.

What to do next

  • Complete activation and admin setup — either via the web wizard or by uploading a prepared XML file over SSH. See Activate and initial setup.
  • SSH is available with the root account (credential set in the XML file) or the support account (password from Security → Security Settings → Console/SSH Access).
