Provisioning Storage

In this episode we show you how to provision storage using digitalocean spaces using Terraform cloud.

Configuring Variables

Make sure that you've configured your terraform cloud account with all the credentials. The key ones to note are the DigitalOcean Spaces Access Key, DigitalOcean API token and Opsmaru's auth token.

DigitalOcean uses a separate set of credentials for their Spaces service than from their API for provisioning droplets and other resources. You can retrieve these from the DigitalOcean control panel.

You can retrieve opsmaru's auth token from the infrastructure builder.

Once you have setup the variables on terraform cloud and connected your repository. You can start a new run on terraform cloud.

Provision Storage

Click on the + New run button. This will kick off the planning stage.

You will be asked to Confirm the plan and terraform will run to provision the bucket and attach it to your opsmaru account.

Litmus Check

You can verify that everything is working by checking the state of the storage. It will show as healthy if it's working.

You should also be able to see a file created in the bucket called litmus.

Troubleshooting

If you run into issues where the state of storage is unhealthy you can resolve this by clicking on the Sync action from the dropdown list.
