The Terraform Netbox provider is a plugin for Terraform that allows for the full lifecycle management of Netbox resources. This provider is maintained by E. Breuninger.
See: Official documentation in the Terraform registry.
Netbox often makes API-breaking changes even in non-major releases. We aim to always support the latest minor version of Netbox. Check the table below to see which version a provider was tested against. It is generally recommended to use the provider version matching your netbox version.
Provider version | Netbox version |
---|---|
v1.6.x and up | v3.1.9 |
v1.1.x and up | v3.1.3 |
v1.0.x | v3.0.9 |
v0.3.x | v2.11.12 |
v0.2.x | v2.10.10 |
v0.1.x | v2.9 |
v0.0.x | v2.9 |
- Clone the repository
- Enter the repository directory
- Build the provider using the Go
install
command:
$ go install
Starting with Terraform 0.13, you can download the provider via the Terraform registry.
For further information on how to use third party providers, see the Terraform documentation
Releases for all major plattforms are available on the release page.
Here is a short example on how to use this provider:
provider "netbox" {
server_url = var.netbox_server
api_token = var.netbox_api_token
allow_insecure_https = false
}
resource "netbox_platform" "testplatform" {
name = "my-test-platform"
}
resource "netbox_cluster_type" "testclustertype" {
name = "my-test-cluster-type"
}
For a more complex example, see the example
folder.
If you wish to work on the provider, you need Go installed on your machine (see Requirements above).
To compile the provider, run go install
. This will build the provider and put the provider binary in the $GOPATH/bin
directory.
To generate or update documentation, run go generate
.
In order to run the suite of unit tests, run make test
.
In order to run the full suite of acceptance tests, run make testacc
.
Note: Acceptance tests create a docker compose stack on port 8001.
$ make testacc
If you notice a failed test, it might be due to a stale netbox data volume. Before concluding there is a problem,
refresh the docker containers by running docker-compose down --volumes
in the docker
directory. Then run the tests again.
We focus on virtual machine management and IPAM. If you want to contribute more resources to this provider, feel free to make a PR.
