POST /servers/{id}/actions/enable_rescue

Enable the Hetzner Rescue System for this Server. The next time a Server with enabled rescue mode boots it will start a special minimal Linux distribution designed for repair and reinstall.

In case a Server cannot boot on its own you can use this to access a Server’s disks.

Rescue Mode is automatically disabled when you first boot into it or if you do not use it for 60 minutes.

Enabling rescue mode will not reboot your Server — you will have to do this yourself.
