Harvester Terraform Provider

Requirements​

  • Terraform >= 0.13.x
  • Go 1.16 to build the provider plugin

Install the Provider​

Option 1: Download and install the provider from the Terraform registry.​

To install this provider, copy and paste this code into your Terraform configuration. Then, run terraform init.

Terraform 0.13+

terraform {
  required_providers {
    harvester = {
      source = "harvester/harvester"
      version = "0.2.8"
    }
  }
}

provider "harvester" {
  # Configuration options
}

For more details, please refer to the Harvester provider documentation.

Option 2: Build and install the provider manually.​

Building the provider:​

  • Clone the repository using the following command:

    git clone [email protected]:harvester/terraform-provider-harvester

  • Enter the provider directory and build the provider; this will build the provider and put the provider binary in ./bin. Use the following command:

    cd terraform-provider-harvester
    make

Installing the provider:​

  • The expected location for the Harvester provider for the target platform within one of the local search directories is as follows:

    registry.terraform.io/harvester/harvester/0.2.8/linux_amd64/terraform-provider-harvester_v0.2.8

  • The default location for locally-installed providers will be one of the following, depending on the operating system under which you are running Terraform:

    • Windows: %APPDATA%\terraform.d\plugins
    • All other systems: ~/.terraform.d/plugins

  • Place the provider into the plugin directory as in the following example:

    version=0.2.8
    arch=linux_amd64
    terraform_harvester_provider_bin=./bin/terraform-provider-harvester

    terraform_harvester_provider_dir="${HOME}/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io/harvester/harvester/${version}/${arch}/"
    mkdir -p "${terraform_harvester_provider_dir}"
    cp ${terraform_harvester_provider_bin} "${terraform_harvester_provider_dir}/terraform-provider-harvester_v${version}"}

Using the provider​

After placing the provider into your plugins directory, run terraform init to initialize it. More information about provider-specific configuration options can be found on the docs directory
