That's a very welcome change and I'm glad it is merged already. I've
given it a try and stumbled upon some errors. See them below.
I started with the minimal configuration similar to the example from docs.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(hetzner-configuration
(server-type "cax11")
(location "hel1")
(ssh-key ".../id_rsa"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Deploying it worked only half-way - the server got created, but
deploying actual OS failed due to my host (x86_64) not able to build
derivations for aarch64-linux.
This one I fixed by adding `qemu-binfmt-service-type` to my system config.
Second deployment attempt picked up the work (that's nice!) and started
building the derivations. After about 40 minutes I'd aborted it,
although I'm pretty sure it would've completed successfully. I just
didn't want to wait too long.
Next I've addded `(build-locally? #f)` to the VM config and repeated the
deployment. This one progressed much quicker, however it failed while
building `linux-modules`:

This seem to be caused by `deploy` not supporting `--target` parameter.
Adding these looked simple and I've jotted a small patch:

I wasn't able to confirm the patch works as during the deployment it
tries to build the toolchain which I can't afford on my host:

Finally, I want to highlight a couple things that I haven't figured out
for my use-case yet:
1. My private ssh key is stored in GnuPG and I'd like to keep it that
way. Afaik `managed-host-environment-type` can utilise the running
ssh-agent, could it be also implemented for hetzner machines?
2. My use-case is an on-demand wireguard VPN. In my current setup I have
created a static ipv6 address which I attach to the VM created using
`hcloud`. The wireguard config hardcodes the same ipv6 and is installed
on the VM during cloud-init provision (`--user-data-from-file`
parameter). To replicate the same in guix deploy,
`hetzner-configuration` should be more flexible in regards to public ip
addresses. I.e. it should allow to use either v4 or v6 and to accept
existing one provided by the user.
