terra-farm / terraform-provider-octopus Goto Github PK

Hashicorp revealed a separate Terraform Plugin SDK and the company promotes for provider developers to migrate their code to use it.

I don't know if octopus is ready to start joining core, but if it is I'd like to help with the process.

If we want to not actually be in core, some folks are putting together an org like sous-chefs does for chef cookbooks. Then maintainers can help each other out reviewing, merging and releasing changes. The main advantage is having more than one maintainer who can pass the torch. If that sounds interesting, the conversation is happening at https://github.com/terra-farm/meta/issues

If that doesn't sound ideal, please let me know!

With most providers, the only really reliable tests are acc tests. We should at least get some basic tests up.

What's the easiest way to throw up an octopus server?

While 0.10 is pulling all the providers out of the core build, it's still able to download the "core" providers with a single command. Until they have a way to do that for providers not in https://github.com/terraform-providers, we need to have a good story for packaging.

The minimum would be to use GitHub releases to publish binaries for each platform.

Beyond that, it would be great to have simple wrapper packages for deb, rpm, brew, &c. I don't know what the current easiest packaging for windows is, chocolatey?
