Incus Resource provider for Terraform
Prerequisites
Installation
This provider is published in the Terraform Registry.
Follow the official instructions for declaring providers in your Terraform configuration
here.
Quick Example
Add the following to your Terraform configuration:
terraform {
required_providers {
incus = {
source = "lxc/incus"
}
}
}
Development
Setup
- Follow these instructions to setup a Golang development environment.
- Checkout the repository
git clone ...
- Compile from sources to a development binary:
cd terraform-provider-incus
go build -v
- Configure Terraform (
~/.terraformrc
) to use the development binary provider:
$ cat ~/.terraformrc
provider_installation {
dev_overrides {
"lxc/incus" = "/home/<REPLACE_ME>/git/terraform-provider-incus"
}
}
Testing
There are two test suites, unit and acceptance. By default the acceptance tests are not run as they require a functional
Incus environment.
Unit tests
make test
Acceptance tests
make testacc
# or run an individual test
TESTARGS="-run TestAccImage_basicVM" make testacc
# increase test verbosity. options are trace, debug, info, warn, or error (default)
TF_LOG=info make testacc
Documentation
Full documentation can be found in the docs
directory.
Known Limitations
Many of the base Incus images don't include an SSH server, therefore terraform
will be unable to execute any provisioners
. Either use the base ubuntu images
from the ubuntu
or ubuntu-daily
or manually prepare a base image that
includes SSH.
