About The Provisioner

This provisioner is built to enable the Online.net rescue mode on a server and then execute actions to it via remote-exec when it is being created.
This can be used to for example format the disks or install a specific OS.

Building The Provisioner

Clone repository to: $GOPATH/src/github.com/src-d/terraform-provisioner-online-rescue

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/scr-d; cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/src-d
$ git clone [email protected]:src-d/terraform-provisioner-online-rescue

Enter the provider directory and build the provider

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/src-d/terraform-provisioner-online-rescue
$ make build

Using the provisioner

resource "online_server" "dedibox" {
    provisioner "online-rescue" {
        "enabled" = true
        "server" = "${online_server.dedibox.id}"
        "image" = "ubuntu-18.04_amd64"
        "credentials_dir" = "/tmp/${online_server.dedibox.id}"
    }

    // the following is a hack as provisioners can not output data
    connection {
        host = "${file("/tmp/${online_server.dedibox.id}/ip")}"
        type     = "ssh"
        user     = "${file("/tmp/${online_server.dedibox.id}/username")}"
        password = "${file("/tmp/${online_server.dedibox.id}/password")}"
    }

    provisioner "remote-exec" {
        inline = [
        "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda",
        ]
    }

    provisioner "online-rescue" {
        "enabled" = true
        "server" = "${online_server.dedibox.id}"
    }
}

Developing the Provisioner

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (version 1.8+ 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 build
...
$ $GOPATH/bin/terraform-provisioner-online-rescue
...

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
