If you point this script to an existing linux-installation, IT WILL DESTROY THE DATA ON IT! Only run this script pointing to servers you want to WIPE! We do not do any checks if there is an existing operating system installed. Once you hit enter and are able to login to the target-IP, THE DATA THERE WILL BE WIPED! And the system re-installed with FreeBSD.
We rely heavily on depenguin.me to make this happen. This script is basically just a little helper which executes some things neccessary to provision a server from a linux-Live-CD to persistent FreeBSD.
This script can also order servers from hetzner via the -c (regular servers) and --market (server market) flags.
We can provision servers (-p and --no-hetzner) from a regular linux-based Live-CD, too. This is tested and works with servers from leaseweb, OVH and hetzner so far.
You can either rent the server through provision.py automatically (-c and --market), or provision an existing one which is bootet into a linux rescue (-p)
$ ./provision.py --no-hetzner -p $your-IP --installerconfig myserver.txt

Where myserver.txt contains the installerconfig. See installerconfig_hetzner.txt for an example.
$ ./provision.py --api-password $my_pass -p $your-IP --installerconfig myserver.txt --hostname test.example.com
In this case we don't need any data in an installerconfig because we gather them directly from the hetzner API. You must provide --api-user and --api-password either via the commandline or set them in the config file config.ini (see config.ini.example for an example config file). Also you can set the name of the server directly on the commandline with --hostname.
You can get the available servers and locations with --list-types:
$ provision.py --api-pw tops3cr3t --list-types

You can now pass the desired server and the desired location (FSN1 by default) to provision.py to let it order and provision a server directly:
$ provision.py --api-pw t0ps3cr3t -c AX52 --location HEL1 --hostname test02.example.com
or, if you would like to rent one from the market, just note the ID and pass that to -m:
$ provision.py --api-pw t0ps3cr3t --market $id --hostname test03.example.com
