terraform-provider-linuxkit

This is, as the name suggests, a terraform provider for working with LinuxKit. Right now all it does is provide a data source which formats metadata files.

To install it you can either compile it locally with go build or you can obtain a precompiled release.

Once you have obtained a copy, you can install it in ~/.terraform.d/plugins/.

This terraform provider builds LinuxKit images in all supported formats.

Features

• Build LinuxKit images in all the formats that LinuxKit supports
• Reuse config blocks in multiple images

Docs

Documentation can be found in the docs folder.

Notes

Though this is built on the same libraries as LinuxKit, those libraries can call out to the LinuxKit binary. For this reason you will need LinuxKit and QEMU installed on the machine in order to build some images (the AWS image for example).

This provider will also not support "pushing" images to cloud platforms, this is because there are better providers for doing this.

This is a continuation of the work originally started by SkyBet. It is the result of the merge of the ResinStack provider which deals with metadata, and the SkyBet provider which deals with building images.
