Meetup Terraform provider

Welcome! This repo contains the source code and compilation/utilization instructions for the custom terraform provider described in Billtrust's 09/23/2019 tech meetup. In here you can find a simple NodeJS server that supports the basic CRUD operations and a terraform provider that interacts with said service, along with a Dockerfile to be able compile and run the code.

Slides

The slides for the presentation can be found in the slides folder. Please note that they are /pptx, so PowerPoint or a compatible tool is required.

Build

A Dockerfile is provider. All further instructions assume the image was built using the tag meetup-tf-provider

docker build -t meetup-tf-provider -f Dockerfile .

Server

The terraform provider communicates with a custom made server written in NodeJS. To run it, execute the following command:

docker run -p 3000:3000 meetup-tf-provider

Provider

The provider requires Go to be installed to be able to compile it. Go is included in the Dockerfile, so to compile the provider, just run the following:

docker run -v $(pwd)/terraform-provider-btmascot/bin:/root/go/src/github.com/billtrust/meetup-terraform-provider/terraform-provider-btmascot/bin -it --entrypoint /bin/bash meetup-tf-provider /scripts/build-provider.sh

You'll have your compiled terraform provider in the ./terraform-provider-btmascot/bin folder, which you'll have to copy to the proper folder following the instructions here
