Terraform

[TodorPetkov]

Hi,

I am reading https://xen-orchestra.com/blog/virtops1-xen-orchestra-terraform-provider/ and https://registry.terraform.io/providers/terra-farm/xenorchestra/latest/docs, and I can't find information how to set the IP address of the machine in the terraform plan.

Is there a way to do it?

Thanks in advance.

I didn't try the provider, but there is an option cloud_network_config, you should be able to pass network config as in Xen Orchestra UI using cloud-init.

@ruskofd is right. You should be able to use the cloud_network_config attribute to achieve this.

The following code is untested but should launch a vm with a static IP. Please see the xenorchestra_vm resource docs and the cloud-init networking v1 docs for more details.

resource "xenorchestra_vm" "static_ip_vm" {
....
  cloud_network_config = <<EOF
network:
version: 1
config:
  - type: physical
    name: eth0
    subnets:
      - type: static
        address: STATIC_IP/24
        gateway: GATEWAY_IP
        dns_nameservers:
          - 8.8.8.8
EOF
}

Let me know if you have any questions or issues using cloud_network_config,

As for the blog post, the VM would have been assigned an ip address via dhcp (assuming the guest OS had cloud-init installed which was true for the VM template in the blog post).
