Terraform Gandi Provider

This provider supports managing the following Gandi resources:

• DNS zones
• LiveDNS service
• Email
• SimpleHosting

This provider currently doesn't support Organization or Billing APIs. We welcome pull requests to implement more functionality!

This is not an officially supported Gandi project.

Requirements

• Terraform >= 0.12.x
• Go >= 1.12

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Enter the repository directory
3. Build the provider:

make
make install

Once installed, run terraform init to enable the Gandi plugin in your terraform environment.

See the Hashicorp Terraform documentation for further details.

Using the provider

This example partly mimics the steps of the official LiveDNS documentation example, using the parts that have been implemented as Terraform resources.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    gandi = {
      source = "go-gandi/gandi"
      version = ">= 2.1.0"
    }
  }
}

provider "gandi" {
  personal_access_token = "<the Personal Access Token>"
}

resource "gandi_domain" "example_com" {
  name = "example.com"
  owner {
    email = "gandi@example.com"
    type = "person"
    street_addr = "Example"
    zip = "75000"
    phone = "+33666666666"
    given_name = "Gandi"
    family_name = "Net"
    country = "FR"
    city = "Paris"
  }
}

resource "gandi_livedns_domain" "example_com" {
  name = "example.com"
}

resource "gandi_livedns_record" "www_example_com" {
  zone = "${gandi_livedns_domain.example_com.id}"
  name = "www"
  type = "A"
  ttl = 3600
  values = [
    "192.168.0.1"
  ]
}

resource "gandi_gluerecord" "example_com_gluerecord" {
    zone = "${gandi_livedns_domain.example_com.id}"
    name = "ns1"
    ips = [
        "1.1.1.1"
    ]
}

This example sums up the available resources.

Zone data source

If your zone already exists (which is very likely), you may use it as a data source:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    gandi = {
      version = "X.Y.Z"
      source  = "github/go-gandi/gandi"
    }
  }
}

provider "gandi" {
  personal_access_token = "<the Personal Access Token>"
}

data "gandi_domain" "example_com" {
  name = "example.com"
}

resource "gandi_livedns_record" "www" {
  zone = "${data.gandi_domain.example_com.id}"
  name = "www"
  type = "A"
  ttl = 3600
  values = [
    "192.168.0.1"
  ]
}

Licensing

This provider is distributed under the terms of the Mozilla Public License version 2.0 (see the LICENSE file).

Its initial author (@tiramiseb) is not affiliated in any way with Gandi - apart from being a happy customer of their services.

Development

If you wish to work on the provider, you'll first need Go installed on your machine (see Requirements above).

To compile the provider, run make.

To use the provider, run make install to populate your local Terraform provider cache ($(HOME)/.terraform.d/plugins/registry.terraform.io). On a next terraform init, Terraform then picks the provider from this directory.

Linting

We use pre-commit to manage and maintain the pre-commit hooks, you can follow the official instructions to install it.

Install

python3 -m pip install pre-commit

Then in the repo root dir

pre-commit install

Generating documentation

As suggested by the Terraform documentation, we use the tfplugindocs project to generate the provider documentation.

To generate the documentation, just run:

 $ tfplugindocs

Releasing

There are GitHub actions configured to generate a release from a tag such as described in the Terraform provider documentation

To publish a new release:

$ git tag vX.X
$ git push origin vX.X

Adding Dependencies

This provider uses Go modules. Please see the Go documentation for the most up to date information about using Go modules.

To add a new dependency github.com/author/dependency to your Terraform provider:

go get github.com/author/dependency
go mod tidy

Then commit the changes to go.mod and go.sum.
