ipinfo Terraform Provider

Makes the ipinfo.io IP address API available to Terraform as a datasource.

Why? I used this to create my own dynamic DNS solution with the Namechaep Terraform provider as a learning experiment.

Prerequisites

You need to sign up for an account and receive an access token on ipinfo.io.

Use that token to either fill in the provider block or set the environment variable IPINFO_TOKEN.

Requirements

Terraform v0.12.X or greater
Go 1.16.X or greater

Usage

Then inside a Terraform file within your project (Ex. providers.tf):

Using the provider

Make sure your API details are correct in the provider block.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    ipinfo = {
      source  = "robgmills/ipinfo"
      version = "1.0.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "ipinfo" {
  api_token = "YoUrToKeNhErE" # Also set by the env variable `IPINFO_TOKEN`
}

# Look up and output your public IP info
data "ipinfo" "myinfo" {}

output "myinfohostname" {
  value = data.ipinfo.myinfo.hostname
}

output "myinfoip" {
  value = data.ipinfo.myinfo.ip
}

# Look up and output the IP info for Google's DNS
data "ipinfo" "googledns" {
    ip = "8.8.8.8"
}

output "googlednshostname" {
    value = data.ipinfo.googledns.hostname
}

Setup terraform and view the plan output.

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.15+ is recommended). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

This project uses Go Modules, added in Go 1.11.

To compile the provider, run make testacc. This will build and test the provider.
