terraform-provider-linode

A plugin for adding a Linode provider.

Description

This is a custom plugin providing a Linode provider for Terraform. This is still a work in progress. It currently only supports managing Linodes currently. In the future dns and nodebalancers will be added. It only supports a subset of the various options that Linode offers. In particular none of the alerting options are supported. They should be easy to add but will likely be tedious.

Requirements

Installation

  1. Download the plugin from the releases tab
  2. Put it somewhere were it can permanently live, it doesn't need to be in your path.
  3. Create or modify your ~/.terraformrc file. You'll need at least this:
providers {
    linode = "terraform-provider-linode"
}

If you didn't add terraform-provider-linode to your path, you'll need to put the full path to the location of the plugin.

Usage

Provider Configuration

linode

provider "linode" {
  key = "$LINODE_API_KEY"
}

The provider options are:

  • key - (Required) This is your linode api key. It will be read out of the environment variable LINODE_API_KEY.

Resource Configuration

linode_linode

resource "linode_linode" "foobar" {
	image = "Ubuntu 14.04 LTS"
	kernel = "Latest 64 bit"
	name = "foobaz"
	group = "integration"
	region = "Dallas, TX, USA"
	size = 1024
	status = "on"
	ip_address = "8.8.8.8"
	private_networking = true
	private_ip_address = "192.168.10.50"
	ssh_key = "ssh-rsa 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 [email protected]"
	root_password = "terraform-test"
}
value Type Forces New Value Type Description
image Required yes string The image to use when creating the linode. 1
kernel Required no string The kernel to start the linode with. If you can specify "Latest 64-bit" or "Latest 32-bit" for the most recent version of either that linode provices
name Optional no string The name of the linode
group Optional no string The group of the linode
region Required yes string The region that the linode will be created in
size Required yes int The amount of ram in the linode plan. i.e. 1024, 2048 or 4096
ip_address Computed n/a string The public ip address
private_networking Optional sort of bool Whether or not to enable private networking. It can be enabled on an existing linode but it can't be disabled.
private_ip_address Computed n/a string If private networking is enabled, it will be populated with the linode's private ip address
ssh_key Required yes string The full text of the public key to add to the root user
root_password Required yes string Unfortunately this is required by the linode api. You'll likely want to modify this on the server during provisioning (which won't force a new linode) and then disable password logins for ssh.
helper_distro Optional no bool Enable the Distro filesystem helper. Corrects fstab and inittab/upstart entries depending on the kernel you're booting. You want this unless you're providing your own kernel.
manage_private_ip_automatically Optional no bool Automatically creates network configuration files for your distro and places them into your filesystem. Will reboot your linode when enabled.

Footnotes

  1. While these technically could be modified, it requires destroying the root volume and creating a new volume which is practically the same as creating a new instance.
