+# hetzner OS image for debian 9 
+
+A provisioner for a vagrant box in order to create an OS image for debian 9 that
+can be used with the hetzner installimage tool.
+
+## Notes
+
+hetzner offers a standard image for debian 9. Unfortunately it does not include support
+for the latest intel network adapters used dedicated hosts of PX series (and probably others).
