Terraform Provider

Documentation

Maintainers

This provider plugin is maintained by the Scalingo team.

Requirements

• Terraform
• Go to build the provider plugin

Usage

Configuring with variables

variable "scalingo_api_token" {}

provider "scalingo" {
  api_token = "${var.scalingo_api_token}"
  region = "osc-fr1"
}

export TF_VAR_scalingo_api_token=tk-us-1234567890
terraform plan

Configuration with environment variables

provider "scalingo" {}

export SCALINGO_REGION=osc-fr1
export SCALINGO_API_TOKEN=tk-us-1234567890

terraform plan

Use terraform import

Some resources are using a specific syntax using a : to provide multiple information.

The terraform import command is formatted like the following:

terraform import <ADDR> <ID>

For example, to import alerts the ID is composed like: <application ID>:<alert ID>

terraform import scalingo_alert.cpu_alert my-app:al-18f30d13-3c19-422d-a0d6-6cdb254baeb7

Building The Provider

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/Scalingo/terraform-provider-scalingo

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/terraform-providers; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/Scalingo
$ git clone git@github.com:Scalingo/terraform-provider-scalingo

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/Scalingo/terraform-provider-scalingo
$ make build

Using the provider

See documentation

Developing the Provider

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.9+ is required). You'll also need to correctly setup a GOPATH, as well as adding $GOPATH/bin to your $PATH.

To compile the provider, run make build. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin directory.

$ make bin
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provider-scalingo
...

In order to test the provider, you can simply run make test.

$ make test

In order to run the full suite of Acceptance tests, run make testacc.

Note: Acceptance tests create real resources, and often cost money to run.

$ make testacc

Testing the plugin against the staging environment

Please read the README in the scalingo-terraform to get more information about that.

Testing the plugin against the development environment

First you will need to create a terraform configuration file defining the plugin installation path

# local_dev.tfrc

provider_installation {
  dev_overrides {
    "scalingo/scalingo" = "<your-gopath>/bin/"
  }
}

Then you can use the development plugin by precising the configuration path in the TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE env variable

TF_CLI_CONFIG_FILE=./local_dev.tfrc terraform plan

Alternatively you can add the provider configuration to the $HOME/.terraformrc file

Generate Documentation

Documentation of the provider is based on official Terraform documentation plugin: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs

go install github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-docs/cmd/tfplugindocs@latest
tfplugindocs

By running the process, it will scan all resources metadata plus the examples directory to generate a complete documentation structure in the docs/ directory.
