Hetzner Images API

Images are blueprints for your VM disks. They can be of different types: ### System Images Distribution Images maintained by us, e.g. “Ubuntu 20.04” ### Snapshot Images Maintained by you, for example “Ubuntu 20.04 with my own settings”. These are billed per GB per month. ### Backup Images Daily Backups of your Server. Will automatically be created for Servers which have backups enabled (`POST /servers/{id}/actions/enable_backup`) Bound to exactly one Server. If you delete the Server, you also delete all backups bound to it. You may convert backup Images to snapshot Images to keep them. These are billed at 20% of your server price for 7 backup slots. ### App Images Prebuild images with specific software configurations, e.g. “Wordpress”. All app images are created by us.
