terraform-provider-incus

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.
