Hetzner Object Storage

S3-compatible object storage next to Hetzner Cloud servers. It is S3-compatible, which means blitcp supports it out of the box: pick the hetzner preset in creds add, paste your keys, and every transfer gets blitcp's usual treatment — content-hash deduplication before upload, verified writes after, and incremental re-runs that skip unchanged files.

Endpoint

https://<region>.your-objectstorage.com
Regions: fsn1, nbg1, hel1. Region: The location slug (e.g. fsn1).

Where the keys come from

Hetzner Cloud console → Security → S3 credentials → Generate credentials.

Set it up once

$ blitcp creds add myhetzner
  Type [s3/azure/gcs/ssh/smb — or a preset: r2/b2/wasabi/…]: hetzner
  Hetzner Object Storage — S3-compatible. Keys: …
  Region: your-region
  Endpoint: https://….your-objectstorage.com
  Access key ID: ********
  Secret access key: ********
  Default bucket (blank = none): backups

Then copy

blitcp ~/photos myhetzner:backups/photos          # upload, dedup + verify on
blitcp myhetzner:backups/photos ~/restore     # download

Re-running the same upload only transfers new or changed files. Duplicate content inside the tree is uploaded once. Credentials live in blitcp's AES-256-GCM encrypted credentials file — see the cloud storage guide for the full creds manager.

Notes

Not the same product as Hetzner Storage Box (that one speaks SFTP/WebDAV — use blitcp's SSH mode for it).
