today i decided i’ll learn terraform
i guess it’d be nice to use it with AWS but i haven’t learned AWS yet and my self-hosted infrastructure is based on proxmox so i’ll be using that instead
it will probably transfer to AWS whenever i pick that up anyways

plan

  1. installing terraform: installing the terraform client for windows - should be as easy as winget install hashicorp.terraform and following this guide

  2. download provider: i’ll use this proxmox provider by telmate - docs here

  3. read guide article: next i’ll be using this article as a guideline on how to proceed

what’s next

i guess i’ll try to recreate some of my current containers using terraform
as an extra i’ll also try to do some of the things on the cloudresumechallenge page for terraform

progress

well that was pretty easy
just finished the first test creating & destroying an LXC using terraform. i had to write my own main.tf file as the one in the guide was for a VM instead of an LXC but doing that was simple enough reading the telmate/proxmox docs
