Terraform: Support Linode

[sobrinho]

Would be great to have support for Linode ;)

[ryanuber]

I think @pearkes started some work on this around the time of Terraform's public release.

[pearkes]

Yea, the TF work I did was before helper/schema, I also started https://github.com/pearkes/linode, again before helper/schema. There wasn't a suitable linode go library when I made that.

Does this fit the bill? https://github.com/btobolaski/terraform-provider-linode

[alexsacr]

I've written a complete set of bindings as a prereq for this. I'm working on a provider at the moment.

[phinze]

@alexsacr, @btobolaski - we'd welcome a PR to add a linode provider to terraform core. Let me know if either of you are individually interested or would like to collaborate!

[btobolaski]

I'd be fine with that. What would you like to see before the pr? If we're using my plugin as a starting point, it could use some cleanup. Its definitely not the prettiest go that I've written. It also only covers servers currently, so we may want to extend it to support their DNS provider and the load balancers.

[phinze]

I'm happy to support however you'd like to approach it - we use PRs to iterate on work in progress so you're welcome to toss code up for review before it's totally done. Let's also see what @alexsacr thinks is the best way forward.

[alexsacr]

That seems reasonable. I'd be happy to help out.

Working off a PR seems like the easiest way to collaborate on this.

I didn't used yet but https://github.com/btobolaski/terraform-provider-linode seems the way to go

[bdwyertech]

:+1: I'm using https://github.com/btobolaski/terraform-provider-linode at the moment. Seems to work pretty well. Any reasoning behind why Linode isn't on the list of supported providers? Could probably use @btobolaski's project @phinze

[btobolaski]

I think I can speak to why it isn't an included provider, I just haven't gotten around to making a pull request for it yet.

[ejaz-ahmed]

This PR is still pending. Don't know why?

Any news on this guys?

Would love to see Linode officially supported!

Huge +1. I've been using linode for years and really love the stability, consistency and support they offer. It'd be nice to be able to bring my linodes into the modern world of automated provisioning and orchestration.

[jpasichnyk]

+1, we use linode as well, and would love to see this support.

In light of today's announcement of $5 instances and other new features [1], I'd love to be able to transition my infrastructure to Linode and continue using Terraform!

Hi,

Thanks so much for the request for this new provider!

While we'd love to see something like this, we don't currently have any plans to implement this ourselves. Until then, this issue is unlikely to see any movement and remain stale. We're trying to prune the stale issues (that aren't going to be addressed anytime soon) by closing them. Note that we only do this for enhancement requests and not bugs.

We have future plans to enable community plugins to be available easily from the Terraform binary itself, allowing community members to "ship" plugins with Terraform much easier. There isn't a timeline for this yet but we hope that will allow much easier shipping of both new providers and updates to existing.

Thanks!

Thanks to all the contributions and support from HashiCorp, Linode, and the community, this project has become official!

Please Star ⭐️ , Watch 👁 , and Fork 🍴 :

• https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-linode

It is now possible to use terraform init to automatically install the Linode Terraform provider without the need to build and install it by hand.

The new documentation is available at:

• https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/linode/

An example of the provider's features is here:

• https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-linode/tree/master/examples

Extra special thanks to @btobolaski whose repo was the base of all this!

Thanks for reporting this issue @sobrinho -- for getting the ball rolling!
