upcloud-server

Terraform scripts to provision simple virtual server to UpCloud

Setting up

1. To use the UpCloud API, you must disable MFA first. Then, configure two environment variables: export UPCLOUD_USERNAME=yourusername export UPCLOUD_PASSWORD=yoursecurpassword

2. Choose workspace name and workspace.tfvars.example to yourworkspace.tfvars. Usually workspaces are named development and production or similar. You can also go with default workspace.

3. Optional: If you wish have statefile somewhere else than in repository (for example S3 or some synchronized cloud directory), copy statefile.tf.example to statefile.tf and edit.

4. Run terraform init to get provider files etc.

5. Create your workspace: terraform workspace new yourworkspace

Provisioning

terraform workspace select yourworkspace

terraform apply -var-file=yourworkspace.tfvars

Tools

Tools directory contains simple tools for interacting with UpCloud API.

getuuids.py

UpCloud does not provide any handy lists with disk image UUIDs (or at least I've found none) so this script fetches them from the API. Requires the same environment variables as the 'Setting up' part above. The vars.tf contains only couple of the image UUIDs and they deprecate over time anyway.

To run:

pip install upcloud-api

python getuuids.py

set-ptr-record.sh

A script to set PTR record via UpCloud API. UpCloud Terraform provider does not support PTR records so we call this script from Terraform using null provider.
