|
|
A Terraform Provider which adds support for Proxmox solutions.
|
|
|
|
This repository is a fork
|
|
of <https://github.com/danitso/terraform-provider-proxmox>
|
|
which is no longer maintained.
|
|
|
|
## Compatibility promise
|
|
|
|
This provider is compatible with the latest version of Proxmox VE (currently
|
|
8.0). While it may work with older 7.x versions, it is not guaranteed to do so.
|
|
|
|
While provider is on version 0.x, it is not guaranteed to be backwards
|
|
compatible with all previous minor versions. However, we will try to keep the
|
|
backwards compatibility between provider versions as much as possible.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html) 1.2+
|
|
- [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) 1.20+ (to build the provider plugin)
|
|
|
|
## Building the provider
|
|
|
|
- Clone the repository
|
|
to `$GOPATH/src/github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox`:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
mkdir -p "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/bpg"
|
|
cd "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/bpg"
|
|
git clone git@github.com:bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Enter the provider directory and build it:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd "${GOPATH}/src/github.com/bpg/terraform-provider-proxmox"
|
|
make build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using the provider
|
|
|
|
You can find the latest release and its documentation in
|
|
the [Terraform Registry](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/bpg/proxmox/latest).
|
|
|
|
## Testing the provider
|
|
|
|
In order to test the provider, you can simply run `make test`.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
make test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Tests are limited to regression tests, ensuring backwards compatibility.
|
|
|
|
## Deploying the example resources
|
|
|
|
There are number of TF examples in the `examples` directory, which can be used
|
|
to deploy a Container, VM, or other Proxmox resources on your test Proxmox
|
|
cluster. The following assumptions are made about the test Proxmox cluster:
|
|
|
|
- It has one node named `pve`
|
|
- The node has local storages named `local` and `local-lvm`
|
|
|
|
Create `examples/terraform.tfvars` with the following variables:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
virtual_environment_username = "root@pam"
|
|
virtual_environment_password = "put-your-password-here"
|
|
virtual_environment_endpoint = "https://<your-cluster-endpoint>:8006/"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then run `make example` to deploy the example resources.
|
|
|
|
## Future work
|
|
|
|
The provider is using
|
|
the [Terraform SDKv2](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/sdkv2),
|
|
which is considered legacy and is in maintenance mode.
|
|
The work has started to migrate the provider to the
|
|
new [Terraform Plugin Framework](https://www.terraform.io/docs/extend/plugin-sdk.html),
|
|
with aim to release it as a new major version **1.0**.
|
|
|
|
## Known issues
|
|
|
|
### Disk images cannot be imported by non-PAM accounts
|
|
|
|
Due to limitations in the Proxmox VE API, certain actions need to be performed
|
|
using SSH. This requires the use of a PAM account (standard Linux account).
|
|
|
|
### Disk images from VMware cannot be uploaded or imported
|
|
|
|
Proxmox VE is not currently supporting VMware disk images directly. However, you
|
|
can still use them as disk images by using this workaround:
|
|
|
|
```hcl
|
|
resource "proxmox_virtual_environment_file" "vmdk_disk_image" {
|
|
content_type = "iso"
|
|
datastore_id = "datastore-id"
|
|
node_name = "node-name"
|
|
|
|
source_file {
|
|
# We must override the file extension to bypass the validation code
|
|
# in the Proxmox VE API.
|
|
file_name = "vmdk-file-name.img"
|
|
path = "path-to-vmdk-file"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
resource "proxmox_virtual_environment_vm" "example" {
|
|
//...
|
|
|
|
disk {
|
|
datastore_id = "datastore-id"
|
|
# We must tell the provider that the file format is vmdk instead of qcow2.
|
|
file_format = "vmdk"
|
|
file_id = "${proxmox_virtual_environment_file.vmdk_disk_image.id}"
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
//...
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Snippets cannot be uploaded by non-PAM accounts
|
|
|
|
Due to limitations in the Proxmox VE API, certain files need to be uploaded
|
|
using SFTP. This requires the use of a PAM account (standard Linux account).
