## Manual setup

If you prefer to set up the connection yourself, follow the steps below.

<Accordion title="Set up manually">
  ### Before you begin

  * **Hetzner project access** — make sure you have access to the Hetzner project you want to connect.

  ### 1. Create an API token

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Generate an API token">
      In your Hetzner project, generate a read and write API token. Follow [Hetzner's documentation](https://docs.hetzner.com/cloud/api/getting-started/generating-api-token) if you need guidance.
    </Step>

    <Step title="Copy the token">
      Copy the token — you'll need it in the next step. Hetzner only shows it once.
    </Step>
  </Steps>

  ### 2. Connect the project to Leanly

  <Steps>
    <Step title="Open integrations">
      In your Leanly dashboard, go to **Integrations**, select **Hetzner**, and click **Connect Project**.
    </Step>

    <Step title="Provide the API token">
      Paste the API token you copied.
    </Step>

    <Step title="Add a friendly name">
      Enter a name to help you identify this integration later (e.g. `Production` or `My Hetzner Project`).
    </Step>

    <Step title="Connect">
      Click **Connect Project** to complete the setup.
    </Step>
  </Steps>
