Unable to get remote libvirt uri to work

[artiommocrenco]

What happened?

Pulumi and this provider always try to use my local libvirt connection.

I tried setting the pulumi config value for libvirt uri, also tried setting the LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI with export, no matter what I try for python, I'm not able to get remote libvirt uri to work. It's always creating resources locally. I tried nuking the stack several times, refreshing, destroying everything - but it didn't help.

In the same terminal window, when I run virsh, I'm getting expected behavior when changing LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI. Also, virt-manager works fine too with different connections I have.

When I unset the env var, and unset the config value, I do get the error:

    error: pulumi:providers:libvirt resource 'default_0_4_1' has a problem: Provider is missing a required configuration key, try `pulumi config set libvirt:uri`: libvirt connection URI for operations. See https://libvirt.org/uri.html

Then, I set it, and the error goes away:

# tried using the IP address too. kiv01 is in my /etc/hosts
export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI='qemu+ssh://root@kiv01/system'

Then, in the same shell of course, I run pulumi up -d and I get this message among others (same when using the config variable):

    debug: Configuring provider for 'qemu+ssh://root@kiv01/system': &{map[uri:0xc000189180] <nil> <nil> 0xc0006bae00 map[] <nil> {{<nil>} <nil>} 0xc0004003e0 0xc0005444e0 0xc0006fac30 false {1 {0 0}} false false}

However, the resource is created locally and not remotely. I tried running wireshark, I can see no ssh traffic when using pulumi this way.

Example

"""A Python Pulumi program"""

import pulumi
import pulumi_libvirt as libvirt

# this is always created locally for me
domain = libvirt.Domain('pulumi')

I guess it's "upstream": dmacvicar/terraform-provider-libvirt#1040

@artiommocrenco The upstream says it works in 0.7.1 which corresponds to 0.4.0 in Pulumi. Does that version work for you?

It was my first day using pulumi, so I wasn't sure how to downgrade. But in terraform, I checked yesterday and yes 0.7.1 is the newest working version for me. So pulumi 0.4.0 should be working, will rewrite from tf later
